So I think I am all caught up on posting and pictures. At least for a few days. Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July weekend.
Oh, I almost forgot a very important update from her birthday......she started walking! She took her first unassisted steps when we were home in MI but hasn't really taken any unassisted since then. On her birthday, she was playing on the deck in the sun. Evidently, she thought it was too warm so she stood up and walked to the shade. She still crawls most places but is taking more and more steps every day. She'll be running in no time. Wish me luck!

At last Birthday pictures
Molly turned 1 on Friday. We had a great family day thanks to the long weekend. We all went for a nice walk on the waterfront. Daddy, oh wait- I mean Molly, was excited to watch boats be loaded into/removed from the water. Edmonds has a nice boardwalk leading from the beach/playground passing the boat launch/marina to the fishing piers, and on to more beach and the ferry terminal. It was a beautiful 85 degree day to go for a walk along the waterfront. We decided to have a last minute BBQ for her birthday with a few friends. And of course, birthday cake.
Opening up her new books. She loves this book about Dogs. Very cute book.
She is a domestic goddess in the making. She now has her vacuum and a cell phone.
cause she's cute
No mom, one more minute to play with my snail. We stripped her down to a diaper for cake.
Diving into the frosting. She couldn't wait for her own piece. I had fun decorating her cake. It was my first attempt at cake decorating.
She has a big mouth for chocolate ice cream!
Not too messy but off to the bathtub she goes.
All clean. Time to say good night to everyone. I know, give her cake and put her to bed. Lucky Daddy got to put her to bed.

Here are the last pictures of our little baby Molly before she turned 1. Hard to believe she turned 1 on Friday.
Yes, MY daughter picked out the purple dress to wear. I was holding her while I was picking out an outfit for the day. She grab this one.
Same day, different outfit. Molly learned that playing is hard to do in a dress when you still are crawling. it just gets in the way. It was pretty for our appointment and errand running. So outfit change when we got home.
She pushed her train outside all by herself. What a big girl.
So she isn't always happy. She didn't get her way. These 2 photos were taken right after each other.
I like this picture. You can tell she is working her tears to see if she can get what she wants. She is learning to pout. It's really quite fun to watch. I know, nip it in the bud before it leads to tantrums.

a big box for Molly
the mailman delivered us a big box for molly. She had a blast trying to get everything out and then playing in the box. what actually came in it didn't get played with right away.
All of the pictures of her playing in the box were slightly blurry since this kid doesn't stop moving-ever!
Now you might wonder, What was in the box? All the things that didn't fit into our suitcase coming home. Including the things Molly decided she must have like: Our old counting eggs from when we were kids. It is a dozen eggs that come apart and have numbers in them. She loves them! Also, my little red rocking chair. She took to that chair from the moment she saw it. Amy's rocking chair was also at Grandma's but Molly only used that once-to climb up on the chair next to it.
Molly sitting so nicely in her chair opening her birthday card from Mimi and PawPaw.
It is a daily battle to teach her that the chair is not for climbing but for sitting. I couldnt' resist this cute butterfly on her butt.

A friend from church passed along this tricycle with used to have a push handle on it. Floyd made a new handle for us to use. She loved being pushed down the street. (don't worry she was buckled in). Her feet don't quite reach the pedals yet but she is learning to steer it. This was after our walk; she needed to do some further inspection of the bike.
oh, note from the post below: those were brand new shoes-first time on her feet that she dragged across the concrete. What perfect timing. I should have known better than to put brand new anything on her that day since she was going to be playing with the boys while we were at Shelly's shower. lesson learned!!
run a way!
Molly tried to run away from home the morning of Shelly's shower. Here is her escape. And no she didn't skin up her knees on the concrete-at least not this time. Once she disappeared out of sight, we went and got her and all walked down the driveway. She did a great job walking holding onto just our fingers.
