6 Months Old

Molly's still a little wobbly, but she loves to sit up!

Now that Molly's reached the 6 month milestone, it's like a switch has flipped inside her head as she realizes how much she can do and what her likes and dislikes are. She LIKES standing, sitting (still a bit wobbly), toys, tummy time, books, bathes, and her binky. Her dislikes are few, but include not being able to see us or when we're not looking at her (she squawks to get our attention), rice cereal and waking up in the middle of the night.

Molly is curious about everything and loves to investigate with her fingers and mouth. Her most recent discovery: Daddy's glasses. She wants to be involved in everything we do whether it's cooking, talking on the phone, using the computer or exercising and she gets frustrated if we have to put her down to do something and she's no longer able to see what's going on or participate (for example taking something out of the oven).

Molly laughs when we make funny noises or faces and tries to copy our expressions. Her newest trick: scrunching her nose, flaring her nostrils and breathing in and out of her nose as fast as she can. She cracks herself up when she does it. It's so funny! We love being parents and love our beautiful Molly so much!

Cereal...

Baby Wipes...

Who would've thought that a package of baby wipes

Our Valentine!

Happy Valentine's Day! Our little Valentine is 24 weeks old! It's amazing how much she's grown! Yesterday she took her first sip from a straw and got quite a shock when the ice water touched her tongue. She loves to watch us eat and is always trying to grab our utensils. We decided to start letting her hold a baby spoon while we eat so that she'll be used to it when we start her on cereal next month.

Pretty Little Lady

Molly and Shane - if Shane had in a bow they'd look like twins!!

Here's our sweet little baby all dolled up and ready for church.

Great helper!

We have been busy getting our house ready to go on the market, and so while I am spending time changing light fixture and trying not to electrocute myself, Molly has been so patient watching us and helping us stay positive.

My Lowes story...
We purchased a new light for the kitchen and was about to start the installation when I noticed that the lens was cracked. No big deal...I'll take it back.

So when I take it back, just so happens that the exact same guy that checked us out earlier, returned the light for me. Funny Coincidence.

Then, no more than 2 hours later, when I ran out of dry wall screws (2" and 2 1/2" to be precise!)...who would bet there to check me out again? Yep, the same dude as before. He was a bit taken back to see me again, but wished me luck until the next time. Luckily by the time I needed to go back to Lowes again...it was past 10pm and closed.

The moral of the story is...live close enough to a home improvement store that you can make the round trip in 15 minutes or less.

5 Months Old!

Our little cutie is 5 months old today!
Some of Molly's favorite things are:

singing
looking in the mirror
discovering fabric textures and touching them to her cheek
smiling
taking her binky in and out of her mouth
giggling
splashing in the bathtub

What a beauty! And oh so ladylike with her little ankles crossed!
