3 Months!!

Sorry to be so slow posting! Molly turned 3 months last Thursday. She is doing so many new fun things!! As you can see from the video below, she is starting to get more head control! She is also smiling more and making lots of funny noises and squeals! She makes one noise that is kind of like a cough that I think will soon turn into a laugh! She is still not a big tummy time fan, but she seems to tolerate it a little better. She is also not a fan of her Jumparoo yet, but I'm sure she'll get there! We are still dealing with her reflux, which is frustrating for all of us. As Matt puts it..."I HATE SPIT-UP!!" We also hate that our little girl feels bad after eating.....no fun! We can't wait until she grows out of this!! Anyways, more pictures are on the photo page!! Enjoy!

Some favorites.....

Here are a couple photos of her holding her head up as well!! Isn't she too cute?!! More 3 month pictures to follow at the end of the week....

Halloween!

Molly's first Halloween was a lot of fun! We went to just a few houses to show off our little Monkey! Then we had dinner in a Pumpkin with Mom & Kara, and answered the door for the millions of trick-or-teaters that found our neighborhood! Here are some pictures, more on the photo page!



Our pumpkins! Grandma Jan grew the little one for Molly.

Tag! You're it!

This was an e-mail I got that you are supposed to forward on. I thought it was a fun way to think back on how much our lives have changed, so I decided to copy it here too. Thanks to all my family and friends for a great 30 years!! 

I was tagged for this so here goes! The rules of this tag are to share where I was 20, 10, 5, 3, 1 year ago and where I am today, tomorrow, and next year... :



 

20 years ago...
 I was living with my parents, brothers and dog Muffin at our house on Pinebrook Street. I was 10 years old and in Mr. Smith’s 5^th grade class at Templeton Elementary. I remember playing Dodgeball in PE and singing in our class program “How the West Was Really Won”. My best friend was Julie Pasteris who lived down the street. We would play Barbies and have sleep overs. We would dress up my little brothers Brian & Matt and her little sister Karri and play house! I LOVED her tire swing in her back yard. She also had a great tree for climbing and we would play tree house on that all the time!

 

Pumpkin Patch!!

On Sunday we took Molly to Lee's Farms in Tualatin for her first Pumpkin Patch visit! She wasn't too excited about it, but wait till next year!! We got some great pumpkins, as well as some fresh apple cider, pumpkin doughnuts and other goodies. It was great that Sally was here to join us!! Here are some pictures from our trip.....more on the photos page!



On our way to the Patch!!

2 Month Check-Up and Shots (Yuck!)

We are back from Molly's 2 month check-up. She is growing right on schedule!! Here are her stats:

Weight: 10lbs 12 oz

Height: 22 3/4 inches

Head: 14 1/2 inches

So for her weight, Molly is in about the 50th percentile. Her height puts her in the 65th percentile (Tall like Daddy!) and her head is in the 10th percentile. The doctor thought she looked "awesome" and very healthy. Poor Molly did have to get 4 shots, which was NOT fun for her. She SCREAMED! But not for very long, which is good! This afternoon we have been giving her Infant Tylenol to prevent any fever and aches that the vaccines might cause. She has been very sleepy, but she seems happy so far! Just kind of sore. Poor little girl!! 

We are looking forward to Matt's Aunt Sally's visit this weekend! She is coming from Denver to meet little Molly. We are going to try to go to the Pumpkin Patch and other fun Fall activities while she is here. (And of course a little shopping.... right Sally??!! ;-) ) I will post pictures soon!! Happy Friday!!

2 Months old!!

Molly is 2 months old today!! We go to the pediatrician on Friday to check her weight and get her 2 month shots. Ouch! I will update the blog with her stats then. I posted some pictures to the Picasa Web album, from the past month. Here are some favorites:



Getting so big!

Lots of smiles these days!



Go Beavs!!
