Here is the view of the Dallas airport out our window. Think the airplane windows need to be cleaned?

Firsts for Molly

Hello!

Molly has had many firsts in the last 4 days. On Thursday, she rolled over from her back to stomach with no assistance. Friday morning, she woke up with her first cold-well more of a snotty nose which was great for her first plane ride. She did exceptionally well for having a snotty nose. Take off was a breeze. A few minutes after that, just before the seat belt sign was turned off, she gave us a wonderful present. A very explosive diaper that went up the back and got all over her outfit. (She was sitting on Floyd's lap) Needless to say we had to change her green (that's another story) diaper there in our seats. WOW did that stink! The poor nice lady sitting next to us. She was very nice about the whole thing. Molly slept thru most of the flight (thankfully) with very little fussing. She even slept thru the whole landing. The time change hasn't treated us very kindly with her having a stuffy nose. Floyd has the same cold.

Molly has been having a great time with her Mimi and Pawpaw. We went to church this morning and everyone agrees she is a cutie!

Another first for Molly: trying rice cereal. We had gotten the ok from her dr at her 4 month check up to start her on food. Not long after that appointment and before we gave her rice cereal, she started having green poops (there is more to that but we are waiting on the test results-She doesn't seem to be bothered by her digestion issues) She hasn't seemed interested in eating anything other than milk until the last few days. She has been getting more and more fascinated by what we are eating. So today she tried her first bites of rice cereal.

Below are more pictures from the last few days:

Molly update

Molly had her 4 month check up on Friday and passed with flying colors-of course!
As of Friday, she was 14lbs, 6 oz and 25 inches long. All in all she is about 60-75 percentile for her age. Her dr. suggested we can start her on rice cereal anytime. We haven't tried it yet but hope to this week. I just got out her spoons and need to wash them.

I kicked myself for not taking the camera with me to the drs. She was having a blast playing in the mirror. Her smiles and laughs were huge! Floyd met us there to help with the shots-which she did great. Only a few screams and tears and then calmed right down when the nurse left the room.

Other big news, she moved into her own room this weekend. I think it was harder on me than her. She now sleeps a 10 hour stretch at night which is REALLY nice. She is starting to wake up the same time that Floyd does. I actually slept thru the night last night-I never do that especially since Molly was born. We even had a pretty decent wind storm from what I hear.

Well, I need to get organized to go to an appointment shortly and Molly should be awake anytime now.

Finally some pictures

Molly helping mom cook dinner. Didn't last long, felt like I was pregnant again and couldn't reach the counters very well. Plus, daddy came upstairs and he was more fun to play with than mom.

Nap time with her chew dolly. She loves this thing!

I know I know

It has been too long since my last post. And now I don't have the pictures loaded on this computer to put on the blog. Hopefully tomorrow I can put pictures on the blog. What is new in the last few weeks. Honestly I don't know, it all blends together.
Molly did not dress up in a costume this year. She did have a shirt that said "I love my Mummy, and my mummy loves me" That was her Halloween outfit. We went down to Portland to see friends and family for the weekend. Molly did extremely well on the roadtrip, especially considering it took 5+ hours to get to Portland cause traffic SUCKED. We hung out with our friends Erin and Jason and our goddaughter Ellie. It was great to see them again. We weren't able to make it to the hospital to see their son Joey, (who is making good progress after his latest setbacks) since I was starting to get a sore throat and didn't want to pass it along to him. (Luckily, the sore throat has passed and not progressed to a cold).
We stayed at my sisters new apartment and had a great time seeing them. We also went out to dinner with Matt and Shawna (Matt was in the Navy with Floyd). Very happily, the drive home only took 4 hours, including a break for food and diaper changing along the way.

Molly turned 4 months old on Monday. She celebrated by rolling over for the 1st time. I had just placed her on her tummy on the floor. I grabbed a shirt from her room and as I walked back into the living room, I saw her arms and legs go up in the air. She had the cutest look on her face. You could tell she was wondering what had just happened and if she could do it again. Floyd missed it by minutes. He was pulling into the driveway when all this happened. We couldn't get her to do it again. She has come close several times.

She has her 4 month checkup on Friday. I will let ya'll know how she does. Well, it is time to feed our little girl and put her to bed.
Cheers!
