9 Months

No mommy, I will NOT smile for your camera.

Age: Molley is 9 months old
Weight: 20lbs 3oz
Length: 28 inches
Sizes: She is in size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes.
Eyes: They are changing from blue grey color to a brown.
Hair: Dark brown...it's getting longer!
Sleeping: She does it! She sleeps through the night most nights!! She moves a lot, so some nights she gets her self stuck in the corner of the crib and can't get out. A quick flip and move down and she's good to go. Now if we could just get her brother to stay in bed..
Eating: She eats 3 meals a day, and takes 2 5oz bottles during the day, and an 8-10oz bottle before bed.
Milestones: She is bearing weight on her feet and is starting to stand more (with my help, of course.) She can also drink out of a cup with a straw.
Memorable outings: Spring break! We went to the zoo, Children's Museum, Connor Prairie, Ft. Ben. She celebrated her first Easter.
Favorite toys/activities:  She loves anything that you put in front of her
Words/sounds: Dada...a lot of dada
Nicknames: Sweet Pea, Molley-Molls, MuMu
Funny moments: I tried to take Molley out of her high chair before she was done with her puffs. My hand got slapped. Guess you don't come between her and her puffs.
Looking forward to: Hearing mama :)

Easter

Easter has come and gone and thankfully we had some good weather, after a long, cold winter. David had talked at school (and church) for weeks about Easter and what it meant. He was so excited when it was finally here!

Photo bomb ahead.

David's basket (note the lack of candy - he made out like a bandit at school and at the church Easter egg hunt. The bunny decided to not leave much at our house.)

Molley's basket

HOTWHEELS!! (My son is a car snob. He will only play with Hotwheels cars.)

At least they are looking the same way. (I love this picture.)

This is as good as it gets with both kids looking at the camera.
 

Ready to hunt!

These fools think we're all going to smile at the camera at the same time. Silly adults!

Another list of the things he says...

Me: David, can you pick up your stuff so we can eat?

On rule interpretation...

Me: David, you can play outside but don't get in the sandbox, got it.
David: Yes mommy
Several minutes later....
TeTe: David, I thought mommy said you couldn't get in the sand box.
David: I not. I'm just taking the sand out to me.
(He was not in the sandbox, but sitting just outside of it.)
Well played, son. Well played.

Over heard while working at my moms house...

Me: Stop making so much noise with your hammer!

Nate and my dad were giggling in the background.

David: Mommy, I'm screwing! You can't smile and screw mom. Screwing is serious work.
More giggling in the background.
