I was wrong . . .

So, I was wrong. Joey does read the blog. I guess it is bookmarked as a favorite at work. Another instance where I underestimated my husband.

So, there goes the surprise for Father's Day. Oh well. ..

I was so proud of Bailey for keeping "our secret." It was mommy who screwed up.

Molly is 8 months!

Sweet Molly - you are 8 months old today. We love you so much! You are full of smiles and love to be around your mommy, daddy, and sister (and brother Holmes too!) You took your first trip to the zoo yesterday and stayed awake over 3 1/2 hours - a record! You loved watching all of the animals. You like to sit and play with your toys . . . as long as someone else is in the room, you will play for almost an hour! You love walks in the stroller and swinging at the park. You like to be on your belly much more than your sister did and you've started getting up on all fours. But . . . I think we still have a month or so before you start crawling. Mommy's OK with that - she's not ready yet!

In the past few days, you've started to perfect your pincer grasp - you can get the puffs to your mouth all by yourself now! And you have one tooth and are working hard on the second. Your favorite baby foods are oatmeal, peas with brown rice, and pears and mangoes.

You sleep about 11 hours at night and 4 or 5 hours during the day...you like your sleep just like your daddy and big sister.

You are growing up so fast. Mommy and Daddy can't wait to see what God has in store for you. We love you so much!

Mommy

(P.S. Mommy made good on her promise to get your pictures taken this week, but don't tell daddy - it's a surprise! Good thing he never reads facebook or this blog). Here's a preview for your friends.)

Sweet Molly Sue . . .

Look who finally made the top of the blog!

I've been feeling a lot of mommy guilt these past few weeks about Molly. Here's why . . .

1. I haven't added her name to the answering machine at home.
2. I hadn't changed the picture at the top of our blog to include her.
3. I haven't had her pictures professionally taken yet.
4. I didn't have a huge party after her dedication at church like I did with Bailey.

The list could go on and on. I need to do better. At least I have #2 taken care of now.

It's not due to a lack of caring or love. I think it's just part of having more than one child. Molly is one of the sweetest babies you will ever meet (OK, maybe I'm a little biased). She is incredibly laid back, an excellent sleeper, and is rarely cranky unless she is really hungry or really tired. Her smile melts my heart. While I was pregnant with her, I was pretty sure I was done having kids. But, she makes me want to have another one . . . another one just like her.

Right now, she is 7 months old. She loves me the most and lights up whenever I come into the room. I love how she claps her feet together when she is excited. She LOVES to blow raspberries - while eating, to get your attention . . . pretty much all of the time. She also LOVES to be outside. She would sit on a blanket playing with her toys and watching the cars go by for hours if I let her. And this weekend, we discovered that she LOVES swings. Here are a few pictures from the park on Saturday.


We love you so much, sweet Molly Sue. And, I'm going to schedule pictures this week. . . I promise!
