coming soon...

hello all,

sorry it has been so long since i have last posted. it has been a long and crazy few weeks. Floyd has been working a TON of overtime, 16 hour days for the last 2 days for example. this means it has been just me and molly....and not much time for me to play on the computer since our angle likes short naps.
we are off to the ocean for the week so i need to go pack things up. I will post when we get back.
Happy Fall!

Daycare

Molly started daycare this week. She will be going 2 mornings a week while I am in class. Her daycare is part of the Edmonds community center. The ladies that take care of her are very nice and were so excited to have a new little one. There are 8 babies under 1 year old in her room. The first day when I went to pick her up, she was sound asleep in a swing all cuddled up-so cute! and Thursday she was eating -so I guess it is safe to assume she likes it there.

Well, I guess this gets us caught up on the life and times of Molly. Can anyone recommend a good cd for Molly-something pleasant to listen to that we aren't going to go nuts listening to. The only music we have for her right now is what is on her bouncer, mobile, and swing. I must admit I only like the mobile music and she gets to excited watching it that she won't fall asleep.

Hope all is well with everyone. Fall is arriving a little more everyday. Cheers!

Thank you Heather!

Heather found a book for Molly called Molly in the Garden. It is about Max and Molly are playing in the garden and Molly wants to catch a butterfly to wear in her hair. Once she catches it, Max convinces her it is mean to keep the butterfly so she releases it and runs thru the garden with the butterfly. Cute story with colorful pictures. Molly enjoyed listening to the story.

just cute pictures

car show

ok, so things will be short since I haven't been able to blog lately. Molly went to her first classic car show in downtown Edmonds on the 6th. As you can see, she was very excited about it.

Here is Floyd's favorite: 1946 Dodge Power Wagon and my favorite the 1930 Chevy Woody.

After walking around the car show, we went to the outdoor farmers market and got fresh veggies for the week and of course a bouquet of flowers. This picture is taken on top of the library overlooking downtown Edmonds and the waterfront. I love coming down here.

Time for a nap.

Happy Birthday Mimi and Grandpa!

Today is Floyd's mom and my dad's birthday. Molly had a great time posing for the pictures.

5 am feedings

So Molly is now pretty consistent with eating at 5am. I think 3am is easier than 5am since I can go back to sleep for a few hours instead of an hour but hey she likes the 5am hour. I think she takes after her dad on the early morning thing. Of course, he sleeps thru it all these days. But not this morning. He jumped out of bed to get her at 2:15 when she woke up but I already had her feeding when he did that-nice delayed reaction! Like I said she normally doesn't wake up until 5 but with her shots yesterday she wasn't feeling so good and needed extra loving. After her initial long sleep of 7+ hours, she'll wake up 3 hours later and than 2 hours until she is ready to play. So at 5am, I thought she was ready for a diaper change after I fed her. So I got all set up and peeked in the diaper to find a barely wet one. Disappointed that I risked fully waking her up while changing the diaper for not much, I removed the old diaper just in time for her to start to pee. I quickly put the old diaper back under to catch most of it. When I thought she was done, removed the old again and was getting the wipe to clean her up when.....she peed a gallon more and pooped everywhere! yup, no diaper under her. So here I am with very little light on to see anything and a girl laying in her own pee/poop who is now fully awake. Dad still sleeping. I promptly woke him up for help! oh yeah, ran out of wipes in my dispenser at the same time. Needless to say I had to go to her room for new clothes, changing pad cover and more wipes. Floyd got her dressed while I cleaned up the mess. We then had an awake baby at 6am and a grabby mommy. I think we all fell back to sleep just in time for the alarm to go off. Thank goodness we haven't had one of those diaper changes in awhile. What a way to start the day. She is feeling better from yesterday. I think it is time for us to take a walk in the beautiful sun.
