A Week of Firsts

What a week.

I experienced so many new things. It was almost too much.

Monday was the worst. I got shots for the second time in my life. I tried to cry and scream but all I did was hold my breath. After these ladies poked me with a lot of needles in my little tiny legs, I cried. My mom cried more than me. She kept apologizing and said she would not let that happen again. Then my jerk-dad said they are doing it again in two months?! What's going on?








Wednesday was way more fun. Mom and Dad took me to my very first baseball game

 I even smiled for a photo with mom.

Apparently the game was kinda boring. I slept through most of it. Dad said I even slept through fireworks going off near me. 

Friday was mom's birthday. It was so much fun to celebrate with her. The best part about Friday was my first trip to MICHIGAN!!!! I hear about this place so much. 

I met so many people. A lot of my mom's aunts and uncles. I even met my great-grandpa and grandma. 

 My new buddy Levi. It was awesome to meet him.

 My mom's cousin Michael.

The legend, my great-grandpa and I hanging out on the couch. Sorry I cried the whole time I saw you. I guess my nerves got the best of me.

Grandpa, great-grandma, great-grandpa and I. I am so happy I was able to meet them. 

I Cried

A poem by Molly.

I am Molly.

Molly I am.

I do not like smiling but crying,
said Molly I am.

I like crying.

Crying on a rock.

Crying with my socks.

Crying while the door is locked.

Do you like to cry here or there?

I would like crying here or there,
I would cry anywhere.

Do you cry in your house?
Do you cry with a mouse?

Yes, I cry in my house even while I wear my jammies with a mouse.

I cry when my parents leave me alone,
because they cannot stand my tone.

But sometimes when I look at them,
they smile and laugh and I begin!

I need not cry all the time,
I do it just for this small rhyme.

Baptized

 This weekend was crazy. I was baptized into the Lord's family at my church home. Everyone was so excited to welcome me into the family. I was able to wear this pretty headband. I liked my dress that I wore. It was so white. 

 Me, my folks and grandparents.

Me and my aunts and uncles and sleeping cousin. 

 Cousin Vanessa with her godchild Erin who is my godparent. I met cousin Jenna this weekend. She is so nice. I like her. The over the shoulder view

I met cousin Jenna this weekend. She was so nice. I can't wait until we can hang out more. 

I had so much fun meeting so many people this weekend. 

Mom and I after the baptism. She said I did not cry all that much during church which was great.

 My cousin Noah giving me a kiss. I think we are going to be buds. 

I would have added more but I wanted to cry all day instead of write :(

An Adventurous Week

I met a lot of people this week. I had time with Aunt Kelly, Cathy and the Downs family, Cousin Vanessa and her family and my grandma's friend Kerry. So many people are excited to meet me and love seeing my hair. Why do my parents insist on putting hats on me? 

I really enjoy meeting so many people. My parents say I am heading to a wonderful place named Michigan soon. There I will get to meet so many people that know my parents. 

I went to my second birthday party yesterday. I tried to sing happy birthday but it sounded more like I was crying for two hours. I got Alexander a toy truck. I hope he liked it. I wonder what being 1-year-old feels like?

I have a feeling I will be seeing this kid a lot. Happy Birthday, Alexander!

This is going to be a big week for me. I am getting ready for my baptism this Sunday! Wow, talk about adulting hard. 

My grandpas and grandmas, cousins and aunts and uncles are all coming. I am so excited to meet all of them. Our church is going to record it. My dad is working on getting the information out to all of my great-grandparents so they can watch too!

My dad is working today. He gets to go to the Brewers. I wanted to go to but mom said no. I guess I cried too much yesterday. That is OK. 

Go Baseball!!
