Molly Updates

Molly has been a busy girl this past week. She is sitting in her bumbo for short amounts of time and doing more tummy time to get her neck stronger.
Saturday night, she rolled over for the first time. We got it on video, but I'm having trouble getting it uploaded. I'll try again later.
Tyler has Molly's future mapped out for her. She is going to be the architect and he will be the builder. Molly has to make out the plans and make them carefully, so he'll be able to read them. He will drive the crane and Molly will tell him, a little this way, a little that way, perfect! He also says Molly can drive the digger, but he is in charge.

Georgetown: Part 2

Friday we moved into the beautiful villa where the wedding would be held. It was amazing.

This was the never ending pool that was just off the patio. We were able to swim Friday and Saturday.

The pool even had a slide and waterfall. Tyler had so much fun!

When we were driving into the villa and I saw a bull. I pointed it out to Scott and he said that Brett had said we'd have to be careful of the bulls. Little did we know, they would show up all over the grounds of the villa. Brett and Carman even got chased on Saturday when they were leaving. We learned quickly that we had to shut the gate from the parking area to keep them out.

Friday afternoon, we had family pictures. These of course aren't the professional ones, just ones that I took.

Between pictures and the rehearsal dinner, Tyler was able to play with his Aunt Stacey some.

This is me, Molly, and Carman at the rehearsal dinner.

Saturday evening was the wedding. Tyler was the ring bearer and did great walking with 2 year old Jada.

Brett & Carman-the happy couple

Our try at a family picture.

Molly with Grandmom Shobe

Molly got so much attention at the villa. If I wasn't holding her, someone else was. Carman's mom absolutely loved her and stole her anytime I had her. Molly did great with all the different people holding her. Friday night was funny-Molly was sitting in her bouncy chair just kicking away and there were 4 or 5 ladies just sitting around her watching her, cooing at her, talking to her, telling her how cute and happy she was. Everyone commented on her beautiful eyes, all her hair, and were amazed at what a happy girl she was.

It was a great trip and very nice wedding.

Georgetown Trip: Part 1

Last week we were in Georgetown for Scott's brother's wedding. We arrived Wednesday and stayed in a cute little house in Georgetown the first two nights. Wednesday night we went out to dinner with Brett & Carman and her family, who was here from Hong Kong, and some of their friends. We ate at Louisiana Cajun Cafe in Round Rock and it was sooo good. I had the best shrimp po-boy and red beans & rice. We also had friend alligator and frog legs. The alligator was good, we didn't care for the frog legs. Tyler tried both not knowing what he was trying. It was too quick for me to get a picture. If you are in Austin, you have to try this place out.
Thursday while Scott and his brother played golf, I took Tyler and Molly to the Children's Museum. We had a good time. Here are Tyler and Molly in the train area.
They had an area called the "Funstruction Zone." That was Tyler's favorite.

In this area, you could put shingles on the roof of this house and build the walls.

This was the truck and bulldozer area.

This was the crafts area and they had this cool part with tools to build things.

While we were downtown, we took pictures with all the fancy cows we came across.

Thursday evening, I helped throw Carman a bridal shower. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but it was fun and it was the first time Molly got to meet her Aunt Stacey.

4 month stats

Molly had her 4 month check up today. Poor baby had to have 3 shots. I don't know who it is harder for-her or me. Anyway, she was 15 lbs. 3 oz. which is the 84%. She was 24.6 inches long which is the 64%. Here are Tyler's numbers at 4 months to compare with. He was 17 lbs. 12oz. and was 26 3/4 inches long.

4 Months

Molly, you are 4 months old today. The time has just flown by. You have been doing many new things this past month. When you are on your floor mat, you now grab the fish and usually pull them off. When we scoot you down, you love to grab the ball with your feet.

You are doing more tummy time and can really lift up your head. We've even put you in your bumbo seat for a couple minutes too.

When you are lying on your back, you are either kicking away or have your feet in the air and are grabbing them. You also can really get your bouncy chair going. One day I was about to get after Tyler for bouncing you too hard, but then I realized you were doing it yourself.

You also scoot a lot and turn your self around when you are on your back. You are getting close to rolling over. Everything you grab goes straight into your mouth. You still drool a lot. A new thing you love to do is airplane-I lay down and put you in the air on my legs.

You are still a very easy baby. You are almost always happy and love to smile and laugh. You are starting to be a little cautious when giving smiles to strangers. You do not always like it when someone other than Mommy holds you. Your schedule during the day is you are usually up 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours and then take a 45 min nap. Every now and then you'll do a longer nap and your stretch before bedtime is usually between 2-3 hours of awake time. You still almost always sleep through the night. If you get up, it's usually at 5:00 and you eat then go back to sleep till 7:00ish.

You are just a doll and we love you!

The Pool

I feel bad for not posting much lately, but we haven't been up to too much. We go to the pool once or twice a week. Molly has gotten used to the pool and doesn't mind it a bit. In this first picture, she even has a little smile. Tyler's swim lessons are going well and he can swim almost all the way across the pool by himself.

Comfy

Tyler had to be extra comfy while he watched Bob the Builder yesterday.
