4 Month's Old

My sweet Molly, 4 months has flown by...I feel like it was yesterday that we were packing our bags for the hospital on the day you were born. Your tiny little fingers and toes were all balled up...your legs were pulled tight against your body. Now, you're reaching for toys, kicking your legs, and making demands. :) You tell us when you're hungry with a specific sound, and tired with another sound. When you just want our attention, you have a way of telling us that too. At 4 months old, you can now roll over (one way), you can play on your tummy for long stretches of time, craning your neck in every direction so that you don't miss anything. I forgot how exciting it is when babies reach little milestones like these. You love the mirror, the shower, the mobile in your crib, and your bunny-blankie. You also started eating solids this past month. It's just cereal for the most part, but you've tried bananas and carrots too - loving them both. You've gotten good with the spoon and you get so excited in between bites. You love to eat. We are so blessed to have two beautiful babies, one on each end of the spectrum. Jack was serious, you are silly, Jack was too busy to eat (that changed though), and you'll eat all day long if given the chance. Jack was fairly self sufficient at your age, you are clingy and love to be held. You are both so different in so many ways, you are the link that we didn't know was missing until you were here. Love you, your cheeks, your smile, your eyes...everything about you, Miss Molly!

Here's a video of Molly rolling.

The Future of Jack?

Hmm... future Rock Star? Or maybe future Band Camp leader? Whatever he decides, we don't care as long as he puts his heart into it. :) If you can't hear the video, after 1/2 hour of dancing with his guitar in "Molly's Band", I ask him if he's "jamming" and his response is "I'm tired of jamming". And in another clip, he passes gas while jamming (unfortunately I didn't catch that on the camera) and he says "Molly's band stinks!". This kid is a riot...

Spring Is In The Air...


Sunday was a beautiful day - mid 60's, sunny, a perfect day for a picnic! Jack is always first in line to go on a picnic, he loves the process of packing a "special" lunch, complete with snacks, a main course, and dessert. He requested chips and dip, carrots, PB&J of course, and cookies for dessert. Molly was content with munching on her two hands, naturally. Good times...we're looking forward to the spring!
