We ventured to the mall for some shopping yesterday morning, snagging lots of great deals, and then stopped for some lunch at Pot Belly's. We've had Pot Belly's yummy food before, but this time there was live music and they had coloring pages for the kids. What fast food place does that?! 5 stars for Pot Belly's!

But on to the real reason for the post...Molly got a PB&J sandwich. It was oozing with peanut butter and jelly and she decided that the best method of eating it was to put a glob of peanut butter and jelly on her finger, wipe it from her finger onto the fork, then eat it off of the fork. Not the most efficient method, but it was quite hilarious!

While in Birmingham, we had fun playing lots of games on their Nintendo Wii. One night, we all had a turn at Wii Boxing, which was lots of fun. Here's G'Mom's turn.

While in Birmingham visiting cousin Emmie for the first time, Molly decided to share her high chair with Curious George (thanks to G'Mom and Grampa for George). She also used Lambie as a nice placemat and some shapes for refreshing drinks.

Molly knows what to do when its dinner time. It's nice when your kids can do things for themselves.

This is always fun. I pulled out the camcorder, turned the screen around (so Molly can see herself in it), and just let her ham it up. The result has lots of fun faces and singing. It's a bit long, so be prepared (particularly if you're on a slow connection).

Molly loves music, and she's really enjoyed her musical instrument toys. I think she may have an inner rock star. Perhaps we need to get her some speakers so she can kick them over while she smashes her guitar... Then she can pretend to be a real rock star.

Molly's bed-time routine is pretty constant. I read her 2 books every night before bed. One of her favorites of late is Go, Dog, Go!, which she knows very well. You can see her finishing my sentences throughout this video of us reading the book. It's amazing to see how quickly she's learning as well. This video was shot a little over a month ago, and she knows much more of this book (and others) now.

Note that this video is quite large. If you're on a slower Internet connection, it might take a while to download it.

One frequent question I received after announcing our pregnancy was, "Are you going to keep the name quiet again?" Well, of course!! But, there are a few things that Chad and I have discussed that may aid you in your guesses.

1. No nickname.
2. Not in the top 25 most popular names provided by Social Security Administration.
3. Will not start with an "M"
4. Will not end in "ie" or "y"

We are no where near settling on a name, but thought you might like to know our name selection criteria.

As this video shows, Molly thinks water (and chicken) is delicious. Guess she's her mother's child (I'm not a fan of water if you were not aware).

Molly loves to be flung and flipped around. I don't think she's ever gotten tired of it and wanted to stop. She always just keeps saying "Again!" If I never got tired I think she would keep doing this for days.
