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...

On the subject of marriage...

Me: Are you going to get married?
David: Of course!
Me: Who will you marry?
David: Sylvia.
Me: Where will you live?
David: At my house. I have lots of things to show her.
Me: Where will mommy and daddy live?
David: At my house too.

On the subject of women...

David: Mom, you can be the Green Lantern.
Me: Okay, but could I be Super Woman instead?
David: No, you're not a woman. Only Mother Goose is?
Me: Huh?
David: You know mom, the woman in a shoe.
Me: Oh, so what am I?
David: Silly, you're a mommy.

On the subject of school...

Me: David, can you pick up your stuff so we can eat?
David: No mommy, I'm doing my paperworks for school.
Me: Oh, well, can it wait?
David: No mommy. I go to high school next week and I need my paperworks.
(NOOOO....that will come fast enough.)

On the subject of superheros...

David: Mom, I'm Superman!!
Me: Oh. How do you know that?
David: 'Cuz my underwears say so.

On the subject of bottoms...

David: Stinky butt, stinky butt (said while pointing to his butt)
Me: David, we don't talk about butts outside the bathroom.
David: Stinky buns, stinky buns
Me: David! We don't talk about butts or buns outside the bathroom!
David: Stinky bottom...
How many words for butt does this kid know?

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!
David: I'm banging mom. I like to bang. Only boys like to bang. I like to bang! Bang, bang, bang. Banging is fun!!
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.

On our crazy weather...

David: MOM!! There is snow on my garden. Get it off. It's not supposed to be there, it's spring!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

David: Mom, will you snuggle with me?
Always
