bushy beard

So every winter Floyd grows out his beard just for snowboarding. He says once the beard ices over, it insulates his face and keeps him warm. Needless to say, I can't wait for snowboarding season to be over so he will trim the beard.
This was today at Stevens Pass- best day of the season so far. It snowed 8 inches while they were there.

growth spurt

So we thought something might be up for the last few weeks. Molly's sleep and eating habits had changed once again. For 2 days, all I could do was feed her every half hour it seemed like. Well today as she played Tinkerbell, I noticed her legs are no longer the chubby toddler legs anymore. She has the knobby knees of a little girl. Tonight I was filling in the application for her passport and came to the question of height. We measured her 2 weeks ago and she was 35 inches give or take a 1/4" (Floyd and I can't agree on what her height was-haha, we should write these things down). Tonight she was a solid 36". Yup, Molly is 3 feet tall. She only has 23" to go to pass up her Momma.

the alphabet

Molly now can say the whole alphabet. Of course, whenever we try to record it she never will say the whole thing. She also spells her name. She usually will spell it and then shout Molly Nelson. Again except when we are recording it, then she just spells it. Why won't she let us capture the cuteness! I haven't gotten her to count yet on video, working on that. She can count into the teens but always skips the number 6. don't know why, she used to also skip 8 but she has now added that number in.

Molly's imagination

I heard a bunch of noise while Molly was playing in her room for quiet time so I thought I would check it out. This is what she was doing….she also rearranged some of the drawers in her room.
