Oh the places you'll go

Gadget Wall

Molly loves playing with the locks on the dog kennels. She already knows how to lock and unlock them. So when I was looking around on Pinterest and found something called a gadget wall I knew Molly would love it. I added to and tweeked the one here.

Rustin did a great job mounting each clasp so that there are 4-5 little doors that open and I plan on putting a picture of a family member under each one. Her favorites are the door stopper and the gate lock.

11 Months

Molly,
I honestly can't believe how much time has passed since you joined our family. You're wearing mostly 9 month clothes with a few 12 month outfits mixed in. Your diapers are a size 3 and shoes are a size 2.

You LOVE food. You eat a continer of oatmeal in the morning, yogurt during snack time, fruit for lunch, and a jar of beef/vegetable/pasta based food for dinner. (For some reason when you eat turkey or chicken based baby food you get sick, but are fine when you eat it off our plates). You'll eat anything off our plates & have tried juice this month too. You have 6 teeth!!! I'm amazed that the last 2 came in within two days of each other.

You're walking all over the place but get there much quicker when you crawl. You love to play with your stacking cups & other toys. You don't go into your excersaucer or walker anymore. You love to play with the dogs bowls, garbage can, and cords of any type. Peek a boo is a favorite game that you'll play all on your own. Pat-A-Cake is a hit with you too. You like your "Special to Me" song & you love to play with the Fisher Price & Peekaboo Barn Aps on my phone.

You're talkin' ALOT! So far your word list looks something like this:
Uh-Oh
No-no-no
Ow
Mama
Dada
Hi
Bye-Bye
Mimi
Ball
big (this is what you call Grace)
baby
more

You're still on the same sleep schedule for the most part. Bed around 8:00, up at 3 to snuggle/eat, wake up at 6:30 am. You get your baths in the regular bathtub now and really like to let the water out.

Peeps I can't believe I'm planning your first birthday it seems like only weeks ago that you were born. I'm so excited to see all the changes that are instore for us this next month. I love you so much!

Love,

Mommy

Happy fathers day

This year I was blessed to spend time with my father, my grandfather, and the father of my baby on Father's Day. We had a great time at church and then went to help Rustin pick out his new boots.

Then we went to my parents for lunch.

My Dad loved his gift. Each year in his card we'll add 4 new pictures for him to put in his frame.
