Molly is becoming quite the singer. She loves to listen to me sing, then sing a few bars herself before clapping and cheering and repeating it all over again. She's also learned several animal sounds; my personal favorites are the elephant and monkey. She also now understands that when I tell her to go get Lambie and follow me, that that means it's nap/bed time and she'll cry and run over to Chad to avoid me. The first time she did it, we thought she wanted Daddy, but we quickly realized that she was just avoiding me! Another one of her new tricks is to show you her belly when you ask. She'll even try when she has a onesie or a long dress on, but then it doesn't work so well!

Molly had fun at the 'Wings of Fancy' butterfly exhibit at Brookside Gardens.

I was at an indoor playground with Molly today and was asked how old she was. When I responded with "13 months old," the lady's response was "Wow, she's really on the move!" Yes, that's the story of Molly now. Since Spring has arrived, we spend many afternoons outside playground hopping. We were originally limited to hardtop playgrounds because Molly would not walk on the mulch, but we hit a milestone at the end of April and now she's decided that mulch is not that bad after all. Molly usually finds the swings immediately; she'd spend all day in one if I let her! We had a nice, but busy Mother's Day. The best part was that Molly took a 3 hour nap. She didn't know it, but that was the best present she could have given me. :) A few other milestones - Molly is currently getting 4 more teeth in; that will make 12 total. It's also pretty consistent that she'll wave and say "bye-bye" when someone's leaving. A few other words that she'll whisper to you are apple and ball. And she often points to a cow in her book, or hands me a toy cow and says "Moo." So we're on our way to having a few more real words.

Note - this video is long, which means it is very big. Don't be surprised if it takes a while to load before playing. Just be patient and it'll start eventually.

Molly had many times more refined sugar in her birthday cake than she'd ever had before, so she had a huge sugar rush. Consequently, she had a lot of energy to burn.

We hope everyone had a very Happy Easter! Since Easter came so early this year, it was actually Molly's second one even before she was a year old. Molly is becoming a pro at walking. She's going to wear a path in the carpet around the coffee table and up and down the hallway before too long. :) We got her some shoes, but she's still getting used to them so isn't always keen on walking in them. She has begun clapping and saying "yea", but she likes to have the attention so she won't clap with you, only after you finish clapping will she clap for you. Some of her favorite toys are books and she loves to read them aloud. She is better about sitting still to read before bed, but does still like to turn the pages before we're done with all the words on the page. Her hair is long enough now that I've started putting it in pigtails. It's very cute. :)
