A Few of Molly's Favorite Things

Hanging with Blue dog,
standing,
drooling,
bouncy time,
grabbing,
exploring,
and staring.

Thanks Elena and Lana for the bouncy, she loves it these days and when she bounces hard enough, music plays and lights flash. Very exciting stuff!

Four Months Old!

It's hard to believe the little one is already four months old, but it's true. She had her four month check up and we are happy to report that all is well with Molly. She weighs in at 15 lbs. 12.5 oz, is 24 inches long and has a head circumference of 16 inches. The doc says she is hitting all of her milestones and is progressing well. Of course she wasn't a fan of her shots, but she was a trooper and only cried for a little bit and then proceeded to sleep for two hours. Keep it up Molly!
Molly's new thing is supporting weight on her legs. She loves to "stand" and does so as much as she can. Eventually she falls down to her knees only to try to pop back up again. She is very proud of herself and seems to enjoy the new view from her feet.

First Shoes

These adorable Converse were a gift from Phil Johnson and are Molly's first shoes.
The shoes were still a bit too big for her feet, but were tight around her fat little legs.
Checking out her cool new kicks.
She was kind of amazed looking at them, they must have felt weird.
Looking up at her big sis.

Fun with Nana and Pops

Chilling out with Nana.
Love this picture of Molly looking at Nana. Look at those pudgy little arms!
Anticipating the delicious meat pie mom made. Poor Molly didn't get any!

The last picture before heading off to the airport. Molly can't wait to see Nana and Pops again at Christmas.

It's Not Always Easy Being a Baby

Delaney's Birthday Celebration

After a delicious breakfast made by Nana, we went to Blick Art Supplies and Delaney picked out an artist's table.

Then we went to Fenton's creamery in Oakland for lunch. Fenton's is famous for it's delicious home made ice cream.
The straws look like they say Delaney's new age, 11.
We all enjoyed a delicious lunch!
While we were there, camera crews showed up to tape a sports segment with Raiders snapper Jon Condo. They were taking him all over Oakland to have him "snap" various objects. These ice cream footballs were pretty cool.
A perfect catch by Fenton's mascot Myrtle the cow.

Delaney's B-Day Continued

After lunch, we went to Brushstrokes to paint ceramics.

Molly loved having her footprints immortalized.

The happy artist with his creation. I see a definite theme in his work.
