what's new?

there's been a lot of "new" in molly's life as of late. everyone already knows about the food, but she also got a brand new car seat (because she totally outgrew the old one!) this one is good for up to 50 lbs., so hopefully we're set for a while. she seems to like this one a whole lot better too, maybe because she can really spread out. it's like her throne in the back seat - all hail queen Molly!


next came her new bouncy chair. now what's important to know about this particular "new" thing, was that it was mine first. this chair is at least 35 years old! check out the craftsmanship! she loves it (just as i loved it). like mother, like daughter i guess. i am including a picture of me in the exact same bouncy seat from when i was 5 months old (check out all the hair). i guess us May girls are made for bouncing!

however with molly, she also likes to lean over and lick the metal parts. this, of course, totally freaks me out because who knows what licking metal will do to her, and in 18 years if she doesn't score high enough on the SATs to get into that college she wants to go to, i'm going to blame myself for letting her lick the metal on the bouncy chair. what makes it funny is that (and anyone who knows us, knows this already) her "big sister" harley ALSO likes to lick metal. so it looks like they really are related...

the next new thing for molly was HEAT! the hottest day of the year so far was yesterday - it got up to 97 they say. phew! and our house heats up like an oven (this is our first summer here). here is molly playing with her new wood dinosaur toys, practically in the buff. a good way to stay cool.

another good way is with some cool refreshing water! like her dad, molly seems to like water, but only when she can drink it out of our glass.







lastly, i got her some sunglasses. i know, i know...they will never stay on, it's a waste of money. but for the pictures alone it was worth it! and they are 100 UV, so if they do stay on, they will be helpful. check out the glamorous miss molly moo!

we are heading to the zoo today - another new adventure! - and meeting up with our friends Terri, Jim, Paige and Skylar. Paige and Skylar turn 1 year old on the 27th of this month!

one other quick note...i've basically filled up the hard drive on this computer with all the pictures and videos (and our music) so until i get an external hard drive, this blog is probably not going to get updated very often. i don't think i can fit one more picture on the computer!
