I am SO IN LOVE WITH YOU! You are so PRECIOUS, and I am so blessed to be your Mommy. You're 10 months old now, and changing so much these days. I'm particularly proud of your hair! To most of the world, you are still lacking a real head of hair...but I see how much it has grown! There's a good 2 inches in the back, and a lot has come in on top (you're actually developing a little mohawk - don't worry--the sides will fill in soon!). You are an excellent cruiser, and enjoy walking around the coffee table, the ottoman and your exersaucer! You've really gotten quite speedy, and this week you even transitioned from the coffee table TO the ottoman all by yourself! I was so proud of you! Okay, so you still don't want to crawl...but that's alright. I know you'd really enjoy it, Molly, so we'll keep encoruaging you, but don't worry about it. You might decide you would just rather learn to walk, and that's great! You have a lot of new babble lately. I love your new sound that resembles a big fake laugh - it's so funny. Your favorite sound is most definitely "ducka-ducka-ducka-ducka..." (and on it goes... I need to get that one on video). Your second favorite sound is "dah-dah-dah". You have 4 teeth, and I can see some very swollen gums to the right of your top teeth, so it looks like a couple more are not far behind. You are most amused by your big sister. Sure, we can all make you giggle a little bit, but Lydia gets the best belly laughs out of you! All she has to do is be her usual energetic self, boppin' around all Lydia-like, and you just think she's the funniest thing ever! Of course, she can also make you cry sometimes. She likes to throw big tantrums once in a while, and you don't like that. I don't blame you for crying when she does that, Molly. Sometimes I want to cry about it, too! Lydia sometimes takes your toys from you while you're playing with them, Molly, and for that, I'm so sorry. We'll keep working on that with her. Thank you for being so sweet about it up to now. You've been a great sleeper at night for a couple of months now. You go right to sleep at night, and you sleep about 11-12 hours. Thank you! You take 2 naps a day usually -- a short mid-morning one, and a longer afternoon one. You are very social when we're out and about, and flash big smiles at everyone who gives you attention. You get a LOT of attention, Molly! And I really believe that those big, bright smiles are a blessing to people. I can see it on their faces -- they light up when they receive that joy from you! You're so snuggle-licious these days, Molly! I love your little body and cheeks and nose and lips and head and I just want to snuggle you and hug you and kiss you all day long! I love working from home now, and having you by my side. You're my little pal. I can't wait to see what you're like as a little girl, and have you bopping around here all cute like your big sister Lydia. On the other hand, I don't want you to change a bit -- you're so perfect exactly the way you are right now! Molly, I know God has a purpose and a plan for your life, and I believe you will fulfill it! He gave you talents and abilities and sensitivities and personality traits that are all for His perfect plans for your life, and I will continue to pray that those things are protected in you, and that you stay in His perfect arms. I pray that your heart will be sensitive to His presence in your life and that you will fall in love with Him. I pray that at an early age you will make your own decision to ask Jesus into your heart, and that you will follow Him always. I pray that you and your sister will have a deep, sweet bond and will take care of one another. I pray that your body will continue to line up with the Word of God and stay healthy. I pray for peace in your heart and security in God's love and your family's love. I love you, my precious little peanut!!
Love, Mommy
You like to play the "How big is Molly?" game. "So big!!"
You cheered Daddy's St. Louis Cardinals on to a World Series victory. Way to go!
Sometimes your feet escape your crib!
You fell asleep in her high chair while I was preparing your lunch!
You put EVERYTHING into your mouth, Molly!
You like to pull down the bumper on your crib to look around your room. And you're generally very happy when you wake up from a good sleep! Video, below.
