It's been a busy few months including lots of travel, visitors, and work. Jen has started her own business (Little One Originals) as has Chad (he's still working at Tresys as well). There's a lot going on, so be sure to stay tuned.

Molly has become quite the little monkey lately.  She loves to climb up in any chair and sit like a big girl.  She'll even kick you out of a chair so she can sit by herself!  She also started giving hugs and kisses recently which I love to receive so I ask her for them all the time. :)  She's still not into vegetables, so I bought Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious to try to sneak some in.  She's eaten the breads and brownies so far, so I'll keep trying new ways to get those veggies in her.  We've been spending some time at the pool this summer.  Molly's not big on standing & playing in the baby pool, but she loves when I hold her and we swim in the big pool.

Note that Molly really does like to make the bunny hop, as well as hopping herself. It's just hard to catch it on video.

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 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.
