so smart
So now when she is having a fit in her crib, she maneuvers herself to the end of the crib next to the door and faces the door. This way she doesn't miss us peeking in on her to see what she is doing. She's a smart cookie!
She won't let us look in her mouth to see if a tooth is close to popping out. So tonight, we stuck a finger in there and sure enough, we can feel the beginnings of a tooth getting ready to pop thru. It was a sharp corner on that tooth. Can't say I am super excited to feel that!
She is still working on crawling-doesn't slow her down at all! Her left knee just can't get the swing of things and now her right leg is past crawling. She puts her foot down to push herself forward. It almost looks like she is trying to stand up. Floyd also said that she can push herself up to sitting now. I have seen her come close but not all the way yet. She is growing so fast!!
Molly is allergic to something but we are having a hard time figuring it out. We think it is bananas. I have never heard of anyone being allergic to bananas. The other possibilities are barley and baby lotion. I usually put the lotion on after her bath just before bed so I wouldn't see the rash if it is gone by morning. We happened to give her a bath and lotion before church so we found the rash. But it coincided with her having bananas for breakfast. She had tried bananas before but didn't like them so didn't eat very many. We don't remember a rash from it. I happen to put the lotion on her belly again on Tuesday (hadn't considered it the culprit) and her belly broke out again in a rash. So we concluded it was the lotion, until last night. No bananas or lotion anywhere near her for over 24 hours and the rash came back-not as bad as before but it was there. So new suspect-barley. She doesn't like eating the cereal on its own so we have started mixing it with her oatmeal. She has been picky about eating (in general) so maybe she hasn't really eaten as much barley as we thought until now. So we have cut out all 3 things will reintroduce each again.
Or could this be a teething thing? Any suggestions are welcome.
Ok this is a long post about probably boring stuff for most. I know everyone is in it for the photos. sorry no new ones today. time to clean the kitchen.

Warning
The last video clip posted has been known to cause cats to run away and scare people in the next room if they don't know it is coming. You may want to turn down the speakers. She is loud like her daddy. She is a true Nelson.

happy valentines' day at Pike Place Market
Floyd took us girls downtown to the Market for Valentine's Day. He hates going to the market due to the crowds. We made a deal to go early and get out before the crowds hit. We almost did it. He was a trooper. It was a great morning! A nice family outing consisting of a very yummy breakfast, walking thru the Market, and picking out a beautiful bouquet of tulips. And this was all Floyd's idea! Go him!
waiting in line at Lowell's for breakfast
the view from the 3rd floor of the Market, where we were having breakfast
Just hanging out with Dad
family photo-oddly enough taken by tourists
Molly and the pig. Rachel, the pig is an actual piggy bank. Money collected goes to the Market Foundation that supports for low-income individuals. Here is a link to find out more about it: http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/frameset.asp?flash=trueservices
