Smiles from Molly

It's crazy to think that Molly will be 10 months old on Wednesday!  She is starting to understand us a little, and will crawl over to you, or follow you to her room or for a bath, if you ask her to;  though sometimes she "walks" to her room (with help, of course).  Often, she does not like to put her toys down, so she'll crawl around the room and pull up with them in her hands.  Because she plays with toys in each hand, she will pull away from the table and balance on her own.  She's probably up to 15 seconds of standing like a big girl. We got some video of it, so make sure to check it out.  We're slowly introducing more "adult" food to her.  She does well with green beans, crackers, chicken and peaches.  I've tried introducing a sippy cup and a straw to her, but as of now her only interest is chewing on them, not drinking, so that challenge continues.  We had a few warmer days earlier in the month, so Molly and I ventured to a playground with some friends.  She LOVED swinging!  The picture doesn't show it because it's really hard to swing a baby, and take a picture at the same time.  I even stopped by the playground a second time that week just so we could swing again.  :)

Molly update

Posted in Molly on January 16th, 2008 by molly – Be the first to comment
I just wanted to give everyone an update on me. Now I enjoy hanging out with my mom. I especially like playing at the playground and going on walks around the lake with her. My dad comes occasionally, but we usually go while he's at work. I also like riding in the car and going to church. I really like the music at church, though sitting still for an entire service can be tough. I'm just starting to make word-like noises. My favorite noises used to be "ike, ike, ike," "ba ba ba," "ggggg," and "gheee," but now I like to say things like "Da Da" when my dad walks in the room (or sometimes at other random times that have nothing to do with my dad). Since I can't really talk yet, I get by with my smiles and my giggles. And let's face it, I'm really cute so it's not hard to get attention. I'm also very active. I started rolling over from front to back when I was 4 weeks old. My aunt EA says that makes me "freaking advanced." I don't let it go to my head though; it's important to stay grounded. I also like so stand up, and have even started taking a few steps. Mommy has started feeding me "real people" food. My favorite food is cheese, though I also like bananas, pears, broccoli, green beans, pumpkin and peaches. Like my daddy, I don't like sweet potatoes or carrots, but I think Mommy is finding way to trick me into eating them. I had a really busy seventh month. I finally got the hang of crawling, I started pulling up on sofas and coffee tables, and two bottom teeth made an appearance. I was so calm while teething that I gave Mommy and Daddy a great surprise the day of the Auburn/Alabama game when my teeth poked through. I am on a roll now with this teething thing and have six teeth all the way in. I also like to follow Mommy and Daddy around from room to room. Although sometimes I get stuck when they hop over these white bars, but when they forget to close them - watch out!
