Nine months and counting…
Molly hit the nine-month mark today and continues to explore her surroundings at a feverish pace. She has now started exploring and likes to crawl off by herself. I give her a few minutes and when I go find her she’ll be happily playing in a room somewhere. It has turned into quite a little game because she squeals with delight when I find her.
Molly has also managed to climb the whole set of stairs up to my office in the loft (13 steps). She gets quite a look of pride and accomplishment when she gets to the top step. Of course we only let this happen when someone is following behind her. Our next investment is a gate.
This past Monday (the 6th), I had a “melt your heart” incident that I must share. I was working in my office for about three hours straight and Molly was spending time with her Daddy. When I came down the stairs, I said “Hi Molly” and she got so excited to see me that she started squealing and waving her hands at me. Maybe it was one of those “you had to be there” things but it totally melted my heart that she was that excited to see me!!
We had our monthly weigh-in today and little Miss Molly clocked in at 17.2 pounds and 28 inches in length. This means she hasn’t gained an ounce in the last month and lowers her into the 15th percentile for weight. At first I was a bit concerned, but quickly put things into perspective – she has had a nasty cold since Monday and hasn’t really eaten much. She is also very happy, is doing lots of new things and is generally seems quite healthy. It’s hard not to worry a little bit though…
So that’s all for now. The coming month will include Mommy and Molly’s first real separation. I will be going to Montreal for nine whole days to work. I have been trying not to think about it, but time is flying by and it will soon be time to leave. My Mom will be coming to stay with Molly, so that makes me feel better. When you think about it, my Mom is more of a baby expert than me…she’s had three!!!
Chow for now,
Alayne and Molly
