One Year Old! Wow that was a quick year...
Sweet Molly Jane,
I can't believe how much you've grown and changed over this year and we have thoroughly enjoyed watching you turn into the sweet little girl that you are today. We love watching you become "Molly", doing all of your "molly" things - you love to stack toys (3 and 4 blocks high), you love to clap and dance, you love to listen to Bob Marley, you love to be chased, you love Yo Gabba Gabba and smile any time you see D.J. Lance. All of these things make you YOU and we love to observe them all. At one year old, you still have only 4 teeth but by the end of this note, you may have 5 or 6 (there's two that are about to break the skin), you're really getting good at cruising and balancing - everything is one-handed now. You've also figured out how to 'handle' Jack... you push his buttons and when you can't find a button to push, you bite him. I quickly discipline you for this, but in the back of my mind I get a little chuckle out of your retaliation efforts...we've been warning Jack about the pay-backs that would be coming!
Your birthday was low-key but perfect for you, since you are low-key as well. We had a small gathering (your NC family), the weather was perfect, and you were an angel of a hostess. Nagy made your birthday cake - strawberry flavored, pink and white icing and you enjoyed every bite of it. View the birthday pictures here.
Your Stats:
You are 24 pounds and 30 inches long which puts you at 75% for height and 75-90% for weight. You're still a big girl, but those squishy thunder thighs are slimming as you perfect those walking skills. Your favorite toy is my car keys...we have "pretend keys" and we have a spare set of real keys, but they're not as awesome as my car keys. We've also pulled out the Little People bag and you are in your own world with those toys.
Miss Molly, are looking forward to the year ahead and we love you more each day! You are the baby girl that we always imagined.
Love, Mommy
