the cutest little girl in the world...

yep, it's true, she is. ya'll can't deny it. she's the cutest. and the most brilliant! and she's 5 months old today!

here she is starting to sit up. she loves sitting and playing with her toys. talking to them. it's great fun for everyone. and she's rolling from tummy to back like a pro!

here she is all snugly before a walk yesterday, in a little outfit her friend Beverly gave her. it snowed for us here in Portland yesterday, so she needed to be extra snugly!

happy st. patty's

it all started a year ago today, when zero and i went to our friend Joe's st. patty's party and i celebrated a bit too much. ;) six days later when i still felt hungover, it finally occured to me that it might actually be something else. and so on friday, march 23, during zero's lunch hour, we took the pregnancy test and found out about molly. wow!

and look at us today - our happy, healthy, strawberry blond, at least a quarter Irish, little girl. what a beauty! i wonder if she'll always want to have a party on st. patty's day?...memories from the womb.

oh, and zero called me at work today to tell me some fantastic news...MOLLY ROLLED OVER! she's been trying for days, but that pesky arm kept getting in the way. but this morning (with "a little help from the landscape" zero said), she rolled over all by herself! huzzah!!

so happy st. patty's day. here's to the Irish and here's to rolling over!
