Cool Cousin Stephanie

These pictures are a few weeks old, but too cute not to share. Mike's niece Stephanie came over a few weeks ago to visit while her Mommy was getting a hair cut. Molly loves watching Stephanie and Steph was is patient and sweet to her. She may not be as patient when Molly is old enough to follow her around and really be a pest.

Steph learned the hard way about Molly's fascination with hair.


Excuse us, we're trying to watch cartoons!

There, that's better.

Our Weekend

We had a nice weekend, didn't get a whole lot accomplished but we had some fun family time. Yesterday we did some shopping and Molly had a great time because she is now big enough to sit in the cart. She loved being able to look around and smile at anyone who would give her the time of day. She also like chewing on the cart, but that's something we don't talk about as it grossed her germ-o-phobe Dad out!

After shopping we headed over to the Y for open swim time. This was Molly's 2nd time in a pool (the 1st was in Jamaica) and she LOVED it! She showed no fear and had so much fun splashing and kicking. At one point Mommy accidently dropped her little face in the water and she just looked at me like, "That was great, lets do it again!" I think we may have a little fish in our midst.

Don't you think her horizontal stripes are slimming?

We were so surprised to run into my cousin John and his wife Lindsay and their baby Jack at the pool. The kids aren't quite old enough to care about each other yet, but it won't be long until they are chasing each other around.

One unfortunate side effect of our trip to the pool yesterday was that in her bath tonight Molly remembered how to splash and made a huge mess in the kitchen. I think it may be time to move her into the bathtub!

Happy Girl

Miss Molly has been so much fun lately. She loves to laugh and smile and play with her toys. We went to the ENT this week and found out that she will be getting tubes in her ears on Feb. 22. The doctor said her ears are full of fluid and if we don't get the tubes put in it could affect her hearing and speech. So, even though we aren't thrilled with the idea of anesthesia, we decided this would be the best course of action. And hopefully this will stop the ear infections (She's had 6 rounds since October!).

Here are some recent videos that show some of this little lady's personality.
