Thanksgiving

Wow. What a day. If you told me there was an entire day of eating turkey and potatoes I would have said, " Are you outcha'  your mind?!" What a great day. 

It's a good thing I had my bottom teeth come in. Just in time to eat a full plate of food. Dad sprayed whipped cream onto my hands. I did not eat it. It looked like little flowers. Dad, I am not a bunny!

My grandma, grandpa and aunt Erin came to visit for Thanksgiving.  We went for walks each day and I even went shopping. We met Dad for lunch on Friday and I got to sit in a high chair and play at the table while everyone else had soup. 

Don't I look like a little stewardess in this fun shirt? Right this way to coach, sir. Since dad forgot to publish my last blog, Here it is. Double the excitement this week. 

I ate so much food this weekend all I wanted to do was chill. I love this shirt my dad's cousin Katie got me. My parents say it is easier to find me in a crowd incase I get lost.

A Whole New World

WaZ Up!

As my boy Luda would say, "Stand Up!" I learned how to pull myself up this week. Mom and dad will give me their hands and I muster all the strength I have and pull myself off my back and onto my butt. It was then that I recalled one of my favorite songs from Aladdin.  The world looks so different when I am able to stand on my own two feet. I am learning on how to take baby steps. I can kick my legs out and move forward when I have mom and dad with me. When I stand too long I get scared and fall over. 

It has been a week of learning fun new things. In the bath this week I had a mini catastrophe. I was playing with my fun friend, the squeaky butterfly. He then slipped from my hands after I gave him a good squeak. He can't swim and started DROWNING!. 

He cried out, " Molly, for the love of God, save yourself. Don't worry about me. "

I said, "Not on my watch." 

 I saw squeaky butterfly was swept under the seat by the tide created by the whale faucet. I acted quickly by moving the chair with one arm. Dad was surprised. I was surprised. Where did this sudden strength come from?  It was then I saw SB. I grabbed him and he was OK. 

This brings me to my next accomplishment. I learned how to clap this week. Mom and dad were doing it so much after I finished a meal that I started to do it as well. Now I control when everyone claps in the room. 

Who's ready for the snow!

Have a Molly Jolly....Christmas?

Hey it's me Molly again, I wanna thank you guys for sticking with me my whole life.  Means a lot.  This past Saturday was a big deal for me...I turned 9-months-old.  Hard to believe I know. 

I was going to have a low key day But then Mom brought me to Germantown and well, they threw me a parade. People lined the streets. Drummers drummed. Pipers piped.

 Secret service Auntie Heather. 

Personal chauffeur Grandma. 

Hype-woman Autumn.

The racing sausages and Bernie even showed up. 

 I gave a speech. 

"Wow.  This is so unexpected. You all put so much work into this. I can't make this about me. This is bigger than me.  Most things are.  Let's focus on something everyone loves um, the holidays? Yes, that's it.  Maybe it's a little early in the season but everyone's so festive and spirits are so high. This should be a Christmas parade instead. Merry Christmas everyone!!" 

That was that.  The day was dedicated to Christmas.  Man does this guy move fast. I couldn't believe that just by the mere mention of Christmas the big man raced down all the way from the pole. I was in shock. 

He was pretty down to earth for being so magical.

Turn Back for What?

I had a great week of being a princess. My dad even dressed up for Halloween and we just went about our business before going to Jill's house. 

Mom took me trick-or-treating this past Monday.  I did not go out long but did visit some fun houses and saw some neat costumes. 

Well, since Halloween is over I got to get ready for the next holiday and went to a "friendsgiving" with Mom on Saturday. I got to try turkey and the sweetest potatoes you will ever have in your life. Don't tell mom but I saved some under my chin for a late night snack. I stayed up late on Saturday night to hang with Finn and company. Mom and Dad let me stay up late last week because of some weird clock change. I am a girl who loves her beauty sleep so I did not dig this idea. Especially because Dad wanted to watch the "Snore Series." I don't want to stay up late to watch that. Geez. I stayed up late Saturday which was a bad idea because I had a birthday party to get ready for on Sunday morning.

We had fun at Asher's first birthday party. I got him a sweater. I hope he likes it. 

Thanks to Owen and Micah for helping me sit up for this picture. I am Ok at sitting up but sometimes I just slide and plop on my face like this time when I fell down looking at leaves. 

Because I am getting better at sitting up I got to ditch my stinky car seat this week and ride shotgun in the grocery cart with mom. It was SUCH a different view from first class.
