When Jen and Michelle headed off for Jen's Sprinkle, they left me to entertain the two little girls. Since I'm leading music at worship this Sunday and needed to practice a bit, I thought a great form of entertainment would be a little live music. I think they enjoyed it.

Molly had fun just hanging out with Emmie. She may be a bit small to really play with, but that didn't stop Molly from doing what she could.

Honoring Baby Girl #2

While Michelle was here, she and two friends, Christy and Emily, threw me a "Sprinkle."

Pins, Diapers, Bottles Galore,
Jen and Chad are having one more.

Big sister, Molly, has plenty to share,
This is just a "sprinkle" to show that we care.

She will need some of her own clothes that are new.
Please join us to celebrate before baby girl is due

This little girl is going to be stylin' in all her new clothes. It was a great evening and a fun way to do something little to honor Baby Girl #2. Thanks to everyone who came!




You can see the rest of the pictures from the Sprinkle here.

Aunt ‘Chelle and Emmie came to visit

Posted in Family visits, Molly, News on August 14th, 2009 by jen – 3 Comments

Aunt 'Chelle and Emmie came to visit for a few days this week. We had a great time reading books, going to playgroup, swimming at the pool, and playing at the playground. Molly did wonderfully with Emmie and I'm excited to see her as a big sister! Here are a few highlights from our week.






It was sad to see them go today, but we'll see them again in 6 weeks! You can see the rest of the pictures from their visit here.

Jen already told you about Molly's new big girl room, but I thought you'd like to see some video of her first few minutes in the room. I think she likes it.

Molly loves to sing and dance. Here she's listening to music playing from our AppleTV while pictures from our photo album scroll along the screen (which is why she occasionally says she sees people on the screen). And yes, those are my slippers she's wearing at the beginning.

Here's a bit of Molly playing while we were in Savannah. It's a bit random, but it gives you a good idea of our day-to-day these days.

As you saw a few weeks ago here, we took a trip to Savannah to see my extended family. In particular, we had a big Weeks family reunion for the first time in a long time. This video shows a bit of the reunion.

“Let’s find baby ister”

Posted in Molly, Pregnancy on August 6th, 2009 by jen – Be the first to comment

Molly occasionally will tell me, "Let's find baby ister" and then proceed to lift up my shirt. She'll point to my belly button and say, "There she is!" We also talk about how big mommy's belly is, and she'll lift her shirt and say that she has a big belly too.

Today we had our last follow-up ultrasound. We took Molly to this one. She liked pointing out baby ister's mouth and nose. Yet again, everything looked great. The biggest surprise was when the ultrasound tech told us that Baby Girl is measuring 6 lbs. 6 oz. My response was, "Already?!" That explains those sweet chubby cheeks!

Books and Bows in Bed

Posted in Molly on August 3rd, 2009 by jen – 3 Comments

Molly has been doing great sleeping in her big girl bed. On Saturday morning I went in to get her, and she had a book in bed with her. Seems as though she wanted to do a little early morning reading. However, Sunday's nap tops it all. Chad went in to get Molly up, and this is what he found in bed with her! No wonder it took her over 2 hours to fall asleep.

Over half of the bows on her bow holder were gone. There were more bows under the covers, one was inside her pillowcase, and several were under her bed. We're learning that discipline can be hard sometimes when the action is quite funny!
