NEWS FLASH!!!!
Molly got her first tooth this morning!!
It appeared sometime through the night with not much fanfare. It is on the bottom and it looks like the second one is about to come through as well. It's October 28th, so that makes her almost five months (she'll be five months in a week and a half).
It's funny because I got excited when she rolled over and when she first smiled and all those things, but when I saw that first tooth I almost flipped...I was so excited. But then I got sad cause that means my little baby is growing up. It's all happening so fast.
Anyway, just had to share the news.
Stay tuned for more pictures (including Molly's first Halloween).

Mommy and Molly have been busy
Maybe that title should have been Mommy has been busy. It has been over two weeks since I have posted anything on the site. Sorry to those who have been faithful to check in. My work with ringette and specifically the National Ringette League has been super busy (we launched a new website on the 15th, you can check it out at www.nationalringetteleague.ca). Anyway, Molly has been a trooper and for the most part has been playing with her toys (my office looks like a playroom). I have had to get the bulk of my work done after she goes to bed at night (which like clockwork is between 7-8 pm). So I have had my share of late nights, but with Molly sleeping through the nights I have still managed to get sleep. I only got caught on a few occasions where she has woken through the night.
So what has happened in the last month? Molly is rolling over lots, mostly from her back to her belly. It is quite cute because she has such a look of accomplishment on her face when she rolls over. Except for that one time when she cracked her head on the hardwood floor..ouch. Still no sign of a tooth, but the rivers of drool continue to flow. This past week the rivers of drool are combined with rivers of slime coming from her nose because Molly has caught a cold. Oh she’s a real site. God love her, she is still as happy as a lark even though her nose practically shuts off because of her cold and she hasn’t quite made the realization that she can breathe through her mouth.
We went on a camping trip with Grandma and Grandpa in Hammonds Plains (near Halifax). I posted some pictures of our adventures a few weeks back. We had lots of fun and Molly was so good. She slept and played in her playpen. Of course that was when she wasn’t snuggling with Grandma, her favourite part of the trip.
Molly’s first Thanksgiving was spent hanging about the house (it was raining) and then we went to Digby for dinner at Nanny Pat’s. Lots of Molly’s cousins were there so she was excited about that. It is very interesting that a baby knows when other children are nearby. Molly lights up and just stares at them. We have also added our cats Buster and Tommy to the list of things that captures her attention.
Molly hit the four-month mark on the 9th and we had her monthly weigh in and measuring session. We did it at home because her doctor’s appointment was postponed till November 10th. According to my calculations, she hasn’t gained an ounce since her three-month weigh in and is still 13 lbs. She has grown an inch in length though and is now 26 inches long. She is eating lots and is a happy baby so I am not too concerned with her weight. They say I was scrawny when I was a kid so maybe she will be too. Of course my scrawniness didn’t stick with me past the age of let see, maybe 12.
Molly celebrated our second anniversary with us on the 16th when we went out for dinner. I am not sure what brought it on but she was so hyper. She squealed and acted like a clown the whole time. So our romantic dinner was spent trying to amuse her and trying to quiet her down. It was quite funny. Even the cook came out to take a peak at who was making all the noise.
Well, that’s about it for now. Now that things aren’t so busy I will be able to post pictures more regularly. We are also looking forward to a visit from Grandma at the end of the month and we are taking Molly to get her pictures done on November 5th. All very exciting.
Thanks for checking in.
