Hungry Hippo's and Fist's of Power

5 weeks of life have flown by for our little Molly. She's very alert when she's awake, lifting her head up and looking around. When she's sleeping, she loves to snuggle. Sleeping and eating habits are still a little sporadic at times, but we're hoping to get a good schedule established in the next few weeks.


Molly is growing at a frightening pace and we joke a lot about our little hungry hippo. The informal weigh in on the bathroom scale last week reports that Molly is tipping the scales just over 10 lbs! She's starting to get little fat rolls and the double chin is quite pronounced. :)



She loves to stretch her arms and legs me and routinely plays a houdini on us, pulling her arms out of her swaddle wrap.

We're starting to see some hints at smiles now . I haven't caught a good one on camera yet, but I will soon....

And Molly has started with the "baby power" fist... Owen used to do this all the time... maybe all babies do, but I still think it's funny. I dug up a picture for a comparison. Here they are at the same age expressing their feelings. I think Molly has a little more attitude.

Owen has been a great big brother over the past few weeks. He's very helpful with Molly and loves her dearly.
