Shower Baby

Molly Kate has loved the water since about 3 months of age. When we get in the shower now she opens the door and climbs in too. She has even been known to do it with her clothes on. She sits right under the water too. Swimming this summer anyone?

New Year's Resolution Anyone???

Happy 2009! I never do this but what the heck......
I have 3 New Year's Resolutions this year.

1. To fit back into my skinny jeans. I can wear them but they push a little fat over the top. You know what I am talking about girls, the "muffin top". I've been running so hopefully I'll be able to wear them comfortably in a few months.

2. Recycle! Most people already do this. In The Branch we aren't given bins so I made my own and found a drop off 1 mile from home. EASY!

3. To read the entire Bible from beginning to end. There is a reading plan on www.biblegateway.com 10 minutes a day. I've always wanted to and my Bible knowlegde is lacking to say the least.

Does anyone else have a resolution?

Santa

Here are some photos of Santa and Molly at the baby house. She wasn't crying but not too excited about him either.

New Words

I am not a mom who reads all the child development books. I should but I have so many friends that I rely on for info. Molly says about 10 words now (at 1 year of age). That seems pretty good or average to me however, I wouldn't really know for sure. Feedback friends?

Here they are in order.

1. Dada

2. Mama

3. Dog

4. Duck

5. Shoe

6. Nana (banana)

7. Becca

8. Katy

4 generations! It was the end of the night so M was a little grouchy!

Rebecca and Molly

The baby house ladies made Molly her own special little cake. It was so cute!

Tom Thumb and DELICIOUS!!!!!

Opening presents, with help from the big kids!

We had about 40 people over for Molly's Birthday. It was wonderful. Everyone who has loved on her all year came to celebrate her life. She has brought so much hope to our friends and extended family.

1st Birthday Photos

Ok bloggers, I haven't been keeping up for awhile due to my depression rearing it's ugly head. ARGHHHH! I am not ashamed to say that I am back on meds again and they are working. Words can not express how grateful I am to have found something that helps. It's a life long process and I have to do all I can to stay healthy. Here are some 1st B-day pictures of Molly. We had a great time! She even put her feet in the cake. I'll post more of her big day soon.

Molly on Halloween!

Halloween

Yes, it's December and I am just now blogging my Halloween pictures. This is Molly trick or treating with her friends at the Baby House. We LOVE the baby house!

Arboretum Pumpkin Patch

My cousins Shannon and Meghan took Molly to the Pumpkin Patch at the Dallas Arboretum last Friday. It looks like they had a great time. When they were small I took them everywhere and now they are continuing the tradition with Molly. I love it!

Molly Kate!

Molly kept raising her hands like this. Everyone kept laughing so she kept doing it. Touchdown????

Shannon and Molly.

Halloween Costume

Molly's friend Olivia from the Baby House loaned her this pink octopus costume. So fun!

One of those days

It's one of those days and I guess I've expected them to stop but they don't. It's my Mom's b-day today. It just seems strange to not have my Dad here to celebrate with us, especially because he would only be 60. Then it reminds me that he won't be here for Molly's 1st B-day and how he is missing out and more than that, how we are missing out. I'll always love this picture the most because it shows him really alive.

The car show. We probably could have saved $50 by staying at home and playing in cars and petting big animals!
