52 Weeks Old!

It's hard to believe that almost a year has passed since our sweet little Molly arrive.  Last year at this time we were in Missouri waiting for the birth of our precious girl (who was due on the 31st but delayed her appearance 3 extra days!)  She's such an amazing little girl, so full of life!  You'll have to excuse the extra sap and emotion...I've spent the last few days looking back at this year with Molly and feel so blessed to have her in our lives.

Molly's getting pretty confident on her feet.  She spends a lot of time standing and will usually take a few steps, squat down, stand back up and start the process again.  When she needs to get somewhere fast she still crawls.

Who knew that a pair of flip flops could be so fascinating?  Molly continues to be curious about everything and loves to figure out how things work.  We have a little sound spa tucked into a stuffed animal that we have velcroed to her crib (sleep sheep).  Toward the end of Molly's nap on Friday I heard a big thump from her room so I ran upstairs to make sure she was okay.  She was standing in her crib with a big grin on her face.  I looked around to see what had caused the noise and saw the sound spa on the floor.  The sheep was still velcroed to the crib, but she'd figured out how to get the sound machine out.  Now when she wakes up from her nap she takes the sound spa out of the stuffed animal and has figured out how to press the buttons to change the ocean sound to the rain or whale sound.  A few times I've walked by her room and discovered she was awake only because I could hear the sound spa making a different sound from what I'd set it to.  Clever girl!
