Pomp and Circumstance

I'd like to interrupt all your Molly viewing for a little peek of ME!  
That's right peeps I am stepping in and reminding you all that I am still here!  
I've been very busy being a great big brother, playing Mario and Skylanders on the Wii 
and of course going to school.  Speaking of school, I graduated from Pre-K today!  
Me and my classmates put on a whole big ta-do for our peeps.  
It was a lot of fun and Mommy only teared up a little!  
Take a looksie at me over the last two years.  

First day of Preschool!

3 months old!!!!

So here's a wrap up of Molly's 3rd month.

3/4/2012--Molly's first trip to Brazos Bend State Park.
               Molly squealed for the first time.  
               Last day in 0-3 month clothing.
3/5/2012--First day wearing 3-6 month sized clothing.
3/8/2012--Molly's first rodeo.
               Molly grabbed and held objects hanging from play mat.
               Last day in size 1-2 diapers.
3/10/2012--First day in size 2 diapers.
3/9/2012--Molly blew bubbles/made razzing sound.  
3/17/2012--First St. Patrick's Day
3/26/2012--Molly laughed for the first time!
3/27/2012--Molly's first park playdate.
3/28/2012--Molly is 3 months old!  Weight 15lbs 3.2oz (weighed at home).

Molly started supported standing and supported sitting.  Despite not having a lot of tummy time (due to spitting up) she has very good head control.  Speaking of spitting up, she continues to spit up and the term "Happy Spitter" is frequently used to describe her spit-up episodes.  She will be smiling and talking and out it comes.  Despite the spit up she is gaining weight just fine and continues to meet developmental/physical milestones.

My babies!

It's been a LONG time since I've scrapped anything for myself (I've had a pretty good reason!).  I've also taken time off from the two creative teams I am on, but when Crisdam Designs put out this kit called Love is Sweet ,which is part of her {Life} In Pictures Collection, I knew it would work beautifully with this gorgeous picture of my babies taken by the fabulous Nena of Nena Metcalf Photograpy.  I miss scrapping A LOT, but my sweet baby girl and her lovely little smiles make up for it!  I still have 10 weeks left to finish for my 2011 Project 52, so that is my next goal!

Molly at Two Months

Wow the time is just flying by!  
In a couple of days Molly will be two and a half months old.  
So I figured I better get the two month post done before she turns three months old :)


2/1/2012--Molly slept 6+ hours overnight for the first time.  
It was another week or so before this became a regular habit.

Pretty girl, dressed up for a birthday party!

 
2/10/2012--Third times the charm.  
FINALLY found a bottle and paci that Molly liked.
This picture is of Daddy feeding Molly (on 1/29) with the 
2nd bottle we tried (which we thought she liked).

I love Grandpa!


Molly loves her play mat (pic taken 2/11)!  
2/19/2012--Molly uses arms/hands to swing at/grab items hanging from play mat.

2/12/2012--Mommy's 2nd cousin Jody came to visit us!

 Molly and Jiffy!  
Jiffy the Giraffe is the sister of Xander's Ghali!

2/14/2012--Molly's first Valentine's Day!
We were supposed to go to Xander's Valentine's Day party at school, 
but he got strep throat so we spent the day at home. 
Molly was NOT at all thrilled with me trying to get a cute picture and
she absolutely HATED wearing the "My First Valentine's Day" bib that
Xander wore for his first Valentine's Day.  See next picture.

"No I will not give you even one nice picture in this stupid bib!"

2/17/2012--Molly has her first Chiropractor visit with Dr. Long.
Mommy hopes this will help with her spitting up.
Molly cried A LOT (not a pain cry, but a "What the Hell are you doing to me?" cry).

Molly is beginning to have a lot more definite awake and sleep patterns.

2/20/2012--Last day in size 1 diapers.  Moved to Size 1-2 diapers.

2/22/2012--Molly slept over night for 9 hours.  
She must have been really tired, as it hasn't happened since!

  Sweet smile!

Lovely in blue!

2/26/2012--Terry and Jan came to visit and meet Molly.

2/27/2012--Molly get's a mild cold with a stuffy nose.

 2/28/2012--Two months old!

Xander and Molly!!!

2/29/2012--Molly had her two month check-up and shots.
Weight:  13lbs (92%)  Height:  23.25" (75%)  Head:  15.75" (75%)
She had a great visit (until the shots) and met all of the milestones for
babies her age.  She is more alert and aware of her surroundings; 
she coos, smiles and "talks"; follows objects with her eyes; 
can hold a rattle (ring) in her hand, and despite the lack of tummy time
(due to the reflux/happy spitting) she lifted her head 45 degrees.  
She also, began to reach for objects.
