Picture Update

Well we have lots of updates and pictures. I thought I would just put up the pictures to update.

Molly has been loving our entertainment system. She loves to crawl inside and just sit there. I think its funny how she will push all her toys aside just to get in there and play with the walls.

Its become her own little condo.

Molly is holding her own bottle now which is great. She is also finally big enough to fit into the stroller we bought last christmas. This is her enjoying a little lunch in the stroller while we ate sandwichs at the park. It was also the first time we all sat and ate a meal together.

I took Molly out in the snow for the first time today. She went through many emotions sitting there.
First confusion, then uncertainty, warming up to contentment, then happiness, quickly followed by dislike, then ending with hatred.
All this happened in the space of 5 mins. This picture was taken in the contentment stage.

Here is a couple of random pics to end. This one I took because I love how cute she is in that suit.

Here is the last one. I dont think I notice enough but Molly is generally a mellow kid. Really her biggest problem that will always get her crying is be left alone. I can deal with that.

The Joys of Parenting

Molly is crawling now and spends much of her time on the carpet. Its an interesting feeling to be so proud that your baby is learning new things but also so frustrated that your baby is learning bad things.

Example 1: Molly is learning to feed herself which makes me so proud. BUT she is learning by picking up gross things off the floor and choking on them. Gross!

Example 2: Molly is learning how to hold her own bottle which is so awesome. BUT she is also learning how to throw her bottle and wave it around her face so milk gets everwhere. Not fun.

Example 3: Molly is starting to laugh more. BUT when she is really happy she will scream at the top of her lungs. So you can try to make her laugh but make sure its not too funny or it will hurt your ears.

When I pictured motherhood I never did picture myself having to pick my childs boggers and search my baby's mouth with my finger to find nasty leaves, hairs, crumbs etc. But its all part of the job right? There is definitely a reason why children come out cute and learn to smile really fast.

Here's a video of Molly trying to walk along the couch. I think she is going to be a born boot-scoot-and-boogie-er because she keeps doing the grapevine.
