Bathing in the sink

Hi! I'm taking a bath in the sink.

Daddy says I was a mess after dinner and needed a bath right away! So he plopped me in the sink. I had so much fun! I usually take a bath in the big tub. This was much quicker. I was able to look at myself in the mirror and I didn't have to reach far for my toys.

Thanks for cleaning me up Daddy! It was a hot day and I sure needed to cool off.

I ate it all up!

Once in a while Mom lets me "try" to eat on my own. I lick the spoon up and down. Then I use my hands and mush the food all around. I lick the plate clean, and I'm all done!

What a mess! You can see why I don't get this opportunity too often.

Molly Stands Up!

I'm Standing! I'm Standing!!

Mommy is so proud!

To my friend Makayla...

Hey Makayla, You asked a long time ago if the snow would ever go away......

..................Yep it sure has! The sun is out and now we can go out to play!

Toys, Toys, Toys!

Have I ever invited you over for play time?

Every morning after breakfast Mommy sets me down and tips over my bin of toys. I like to spread them out all over the family room floor. Then I crawl over them and head over to the windows. I would much rather look outside. If Mom entices me I'll play a for a few minutes.

Doing the Laundry

The ultimate goal is to pull out all the clean clothes. Climb inside the basket, and have a good time!
Mommy can fold it all. I want no part of that!

9 months old!

That's right!
I'm 9 months old and looking pretty good for my age.

I am now 15 lbs 13 oz and 27.6 in long.

I'm a light weight and Mommy is happy for that.

I've experienced the taste of watermelon, grapes, brussel sprouts, lemons and Gerber food #2. I even got some of grandma's homemade chicken noodle soup last night. Mommy mashed it up and eliminated the starchy noodles. Yummy!

Last month I've been super at standing up by pulling up on a table, chair, or what ever could support me. If you held my hands up, I can walk!! But, I don't have my sea legs yet. I look like a drunken sailor when I walk. I've tried standing up with out holding on to anything. I get as far as my knees, I reach up high, and fall forward. Oh well, I'll keep practicing.

I love playing peek-a-boo, patty cake, itsy bitsy spider, and "Soooo Big".

I do enjoy looking out the window to see if Mr. squirrel or chipmunk has come to visit me.

Also on the 17th, I just started pointing to things. Things I would like to touch or see closer.
Did I tell you that I may be a rock climber someday? Well, Mom and Dad seem to think so. Just because I find ways to climb up on my play pen walls, or on top of boxes, I'm some climbing expert?
Well, I got news for them, I'm really trying to be an escape artist.

Let's see if Mom and Dad can keep up with me these next few weeks. I'm a pretty fast crawler. The skies the limit for me now. Keep your doors closed! Block the stairs! Lock up the cabinets and drawers. HERE I COME!
