I'm a big Girl now!

Molly had her well child visit last week and she's 17lbs and 26inches already! At 6 months, she's as heavy as Owen was at 12 months. She's still in the 75th percentile for height and weight. She's managing to get herself rolled over back to front and front to back now. Still a very easy going baby and extremely attentive.

"The look"

Tackling her big brother. Owen is such a great little guy with Molly. She smiles every time she sees him or hears his voice. He's very patient and loves to entertain her.

Watch out for the crazy lady in the exer-saucer!!


More serious thoughts...

Summer Happenings...

Allison's sister Danielle and her family have been in for the past 3 weeks, so we've spent a lot of time with them to visit and let the cousins play together.

Here's Molly in the pool for the first time. It took a few minutes for her to get used to the concept of water all around... then she had fun kicking and moving around.

Food Monster!

We've finally started Molly on solid food... her favorites so far are cereal and sweet potatoes! We're using a combination of home-made food and jar food with Molly like we did with Owen. I have to admit I was a skeptic when Allison was getting ready to prepare the beans, but it worked and my new mantra is: Properly steamed, anything can be reduced to mush.

Molly is a really interactive eater, following the spoon and often trying to grab it and pull it into her mouth.

She's still getting used to the concept of having food in her mouth. Much to our amusement, she likes to stick her tongue out, which usually pushes half the food back out onto her face. If she's into the food, she then spends the next minute trying to lick it all back in. :)

Molly's Baptism

We were blessed to have Molly's baptism on June 26th. Allison's mom made Molly's gown and it turned out beautiful. She behaved during the service and we had a nice brunch at the house for friends and family afterwords. Thanks to Mom & Dad for helping with the preparation & food!
