Molly's first Swimming Lessons!

We just got back from Molly's first swim lesson. We are taking a 7 week class at the YMCA. Molly had a great time! She loved watching the water and the other kids! I'll let the pictures and video tell the story. Thanks to Auntie Lo for her photography skills! We were so glad she could be there for Molly's first swim!

Our Little Valentine is 6 Months old!!

Molly turned 6 months old on Valentine's day!! She is growing so fast! It is hard to believe it has already been half of a year since she joined our family. Miss Molly is now rolling over both directions and grabbing for everything in sight! Her favorite things to grab are glasses or cups that we are holding!! Those two teeth are still coming in. I would say they are over halfway up now. That probably explains why everything goes right into her mouth!! She is getting really good at putting her pacifier back into her mouth (and taking it out too!). Look at these:









We have started going to Gymboree classes on Wednesdays! Molly seems to love it! She watches and laughs at all the other babies. Her favorite part is the bubbles at the end! Here are some pictures Grandma Jan took last week. 







Last Wednesday we had Molly's 6 Month Check up. Here are her stats:

Weight: 14 lbs 8 oz

Height: 25 3/8 inches

Head: 16 3/4 inches

So she is still a tiny girl!! Still in the 25th percentile! But she maintained that percentile so the doctor was happy with her growth. She has tried baby oatmeal, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, apples and pears so far! She is not a fan of any of them except carrots!! Funny girl! We keep trying.... ;-) No picky eaters allowed!!



In other news, we bought a new car!! A "Family friendly" vehicle!! We just needed more space and a more reliable car than my Jetta. Here is a photo Mom took of our new Toyota Rav4.



I will leave you with a couple photos of Molly's new skill. She is starting to sit up on her own!! She is very shaky still, but getting there!!

Our Upside-Down Beaver!

Last week I started feeling some teeth in Miss Molly's mouth! Yes, that is right, I said teeth! It seems as though she is getting her TWO bottom front teeth at the same time!! She's gonna be an upside-down Beaver!! The good news is she doesn't seem to mind it or they are not causing her too much pain. (I am knocking on wood as I write this!) This morning I managed to get a picture of her teeth!! 



Open up.....



Two Teeth!!!

True or False: Molly drives a car, and sun in February??!

We had a busy weekend! On Friday night we went to the Portland Auto Show at the Convention Center. It has become an annual tradition with us to go check out all the new cars, and this was Molly's first trip! She showed us which cars she wants when she turns 16.....





And she seems to be ready to take the wheel!



Then Saturday was a GORGEOUS day in Tigard!! Nearly 60 and blue skies!! Unheard of in February!! So Matt, Molly, Cassie and I went for a walk down in Cook Park. We walked across the new bridge over the Tualatin River. It was so pretty! I brought my camera along to practice some outdoor shots! 







The weather made us excited for Springtime!! Now it is back to 40's, clouds and rain...even a chance of snow! Guess the groundhog was right, we have more winter in store! But the glimpse of Spring was a nice treat!
