Fairy Molly

Molly's cousin Glenn had a birthday party and they had precious costumes for the girls to wear to the party.  Don't you think Molly looked so sweet in her little fairy wings and tutu?

Tee Ball Season Finale

Bo wrapped up his tee ball season with a game and a party.  He has much such great progress over the past couple of months and you can see from his hit in the video below.  He even decided to slide into home plate!  We are so proud of the way that he has chosen to work so hard to get better at a sport that he has grown to love.  Go Bo and Go Nationals!

 

Molly's 1st Haircut

Big milestone!  Just like her big brother, we went to our Mandie for Molly's first haircut!

Happy Mother's Day

Bo had the homework assignment of talking with me and telling me why he loves me.  He had to record his response and bring it back to school.  His ideas started off strong (because she plays with me, she reads to me, because she's my best friend) but he decided on this...

So I'm big huh?...Thanks Buddy...

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Molly

It has already been a year since Molly joined our family!

Molly was blessed to have so many friends and family at her first birthday party.  She had fun playing with everyone, and while she liked her cake, her favorite part of it was actually the picture of the kitten that I put on the top of it to decorate it.  The little things are the best things in life...
Here are a few pictures of the party girl and some of the cousins and friends that came to celebrate with us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This picture reminds me so much of Bo at this age.  He loved books as much as she does!

 

We're so grateful that Molly's babysitter Miss Brandi could take all of these pictures of the party for us.  I didn't even think about picking up the camera because the party kept us so busy...

Molly's one year well-visit went great!  She continues to be 90th percentile for weight (21 lbs, 14 oz), 75th percentile for height (29 1/2 inches) and off the chart for head circumference.  She's meeting major milestones and continues to do great phasing out of the "baby things" that she's too grown up for now (bottles, baby food, 2 daily naps). 
It's hard to believe that Molly was small enough to fit into this teeny tiny outfit that only her puppy dog or baby doll could wear now. She's getting so big, but she's still our baby girl!

Molly-isms

These are a few of the things that Molly loves to do these days:

1. Look out the window at our cat Picasso and "talk" to him.

2. Play in the bathtub.  She does these four things every night.
(I love the second video with her reaction after tasting her shampoo/body wash.  She was smart enough to only do that once.)

3. Giggle!

Destin 2012

 Our family (including Nana) had another great Spring Break in Destin.  We spent countless hours on the beach, poolside and relaxing in Hammock Heaven (which was the name of our condo.)  Molly's first beach trip was a success. She LOVED it! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Nana loves her firefighters, so we had to go and see the Destin firefighter crew.  They were so nice and went above and beyond to answer Bo's million questions.  One firefighter/paramedic must have spent at least 20 minutes showing Bo everything in the firetruck.  

One of our favorite things to do was go on morning walks to the beach every day. We saw dolphins just about every day, and Bo had fun making sand villages and playing football.  Molly enjoyed the wagon rides to get there and back as well as exploring the sand.
