New Tricks!

Molly showing all her teeth in Catalina!

The little baby is up to lots of new tricks... She has discovered multimedia and now insists that Sesame Street is on 24 hours a day. As you can imagine, her parents are thrilled that they have created a television junkie at such a young age and are currenly putting Molly through a ten step program to wean her off Elmo. Mols has also decided that music must be played when she is riding in the car - her music (which usually makes Dad want to poke his eyes out). Not only that, but she has preferences for certain songs and will tell you after about ten seconds of listening whether or not a song makes the cut (No = "Nah-Nah-Nah"). Such strong opinions at such a young age... I wonder where she gets that Mama?

The Big Race!

The suckerfish (she loves when I call her that) took her first boat trip to Catalina Island to catch Dad finishing the marathon. Mom and Mols were accomplanied by good friends Jen and baby Leif whose Dad Brent ran the race with Dad. After the race, the families cruised around town, smelled the flowers (literally), and ate lots of delicous foods. Later, Dad slept for about two days straight...

The Little Devil!

Here is another shot of the Mols in all her glory! Our little girl is all over the place these days (and quite fashionable too - thanks Mom!). Molly is very into books, her "Neigh-Neigh" (stuffed horse), and stacking empty diaper boxes to incredible heights! She is also picking up new words at an amazing rate. Recent acquisitions include "Abby" (the pink fairy from Sesame Street), "Tie" (Daddy's new uniform), "Easy" and "Avery" (the second being the name of a baby at daycare and the first describing the level of difficultly in getting Mom and Dad to do what she wants), and "Photosynthesis" (the process by which plants use their chloroplasts to convert sunlight into edible fructose).

Thinking About the Potty?

Maybe. Molly is still very interested in her potty and the fact that she has now taken to reading her news (upside down) near the potty seems like a positive sign. However, we still can't get the little thumb sucker to spend any significant amount of time actually sitting on her potty... what a debacle! If you have experience in these critical matters, feel free to offer your feedback!
