Bumbo

Since my parents are headed back to MO for a couple weeks, I'm going to have to get back into this and keep them updated on all of Molly's happenings. A couple exciting things have happened in Molly's life lately, believe me I totally understand if you could give a shit because I was there once too. "Oh wow! Little Jenny learned how to pick her nose...amazing!" Now I have a little different perspective. First off, now the babies are my friends babies, not my acquaintance's' babies, babies that I'm not afraid to hold...except maybe Landon, he might break my back...BEEFCAKE! Also think about the hand eye coordination that it takes to pick one's nose...I never considered this before. Yesterday, before she left, my Mom thought Molly was ready for some reaching and grabbing and sure enough she was into it. This morning I took some pictures of her holding a rattle that she had deliberately wanted in her hand...not just accidentally mind you. She immediately shoved it in her mouth...this might have been an accident but who knows? She's also taking something in one hand and then grabbing it with the other as if to give herself some extra control. I know, I know, freaking amazing! But I'm impressed and Gran is impressed and that's what's important. Here's actually some breaking news on this front. I had Molly on her changing table just now and I was talking to her and putting my face down by hers and she reached up and grabbed my glasses off of my face. I was thoroughly impressed. I'm sure this adorable act will become obnoxious shortly. I wonder if you can get a Lenscrafter's account? Watch out Grayson, Molly's getting grabby too. Here are the grabby pictures.

Also as the blog is tittled, I bought Molly a Bumbo. I know that Michaela had graciously offered to give me Landon's old one, and I'm sure it would have been great, but when you're walking through the store and you come across an adorable pink Bumbo how can you resist if you have a little girl. Jonny probably could have...but I couldn't. We didn't know that Molly was a girl until she made her appearance, so now I try to get my hands onto every feminine thing I can afford...damn you Pottery Barn Kids! Anyhow if you don't know what a Bumbo is...just look at the pictures and you'll figure it out pretty quick. Anyhow, she loves it and is happy to sit and hang out with us. These pictures are in Jonny's Garden. Good times!

well, this one's in her Crib, which she enjoys since her dog's can make the floor a dangerous prospect. Our goal is to keep Riley's tail out of Molly's face for as long as possible since I'm pretty sure it could cause irreversible damage.

Incidentally, Molly has taken her first "bad" picture in her Bumbo. Sorry Molly, it was bound to happen with all of the picture's we're snapping.

not to worry, these are better!
