New Hairdo!

Molly has lost just about all of her hair on the side. She was left with a comb over/toupee that wouldn't hold bows too well. So, here is her new hairdo. Like Shay would say, we are embracing what hair we have!

Jumpin' Molly

Molly loves to stand up lately. So, I decided to put the Jumpin' Johnny up in our bathroom one day while I was getting ready. Wow! The best idea I have had in a long time! She absolutely loved it and it is now one of her favorite things to do. She watches us get ready, she spins around and watches the dogs play, she talks, and pretty much has a blast. I paid $10 for that Jumpin' Johnny at Divine Consign and let me tell ya...great investment!





Ashley and Brandon Smith

Last weekend, we went to Ashley and Brandon's wedding. Brian, my brother, and Brandon were best friends growing up. Brandon felt like he was a brother and this was a very sweet wedding.

Here they are getting hitched! Congratulations!


Our little family of three. Molly did great at the wedding. She only cried at the end when everyone had their sparklers. I think she felt a bit overwhelmed!

Watching TV


I know, I know...babies aren't supposed to sit in front of the TV. Well, this was a special occasion. I mean, the girl has to live a little. Daddy lets her sneak a little TV in when Mama isn't watching. Can you tell she enjoyed it?


That's right...caught y'all!

4 Month Appointment/Dicky's Birthday

All ready to go to the doctor! I know, I know, it looks like she has too many layers. It was in the 60's and the blanket is very light.



Weight: 13lbs. 10oz.=43%
Length: 24 3/4 in. =68%
Head: 16 1/8 in.=45%


Spitting up on her Daddy, on his Birthday!


Waiting to be seen. We were entertaining ourselves. :)


After the shots. She wasn't a happy camper. She sure was clinging to her daddy. He made everything okay. :)

She did really well after her shots. A lot of my friends told me that their babies took really long naps after they got their shots. So, I was very hopeful. Molly is normally a really good napper, so I really thought we had this one in the bag. She didn't sleep much all day. She was happy (prob. because the Tylenol wasn't allowing her to be too upset) but just wouldn't sleep. She did fall asleep in her carseat on the way home, so we left her in it and put her in her room. She slept for about 45 minutes and woke up crying. When I went in to check on her, she had a bandaid across her mouth! I guess it stuck to her finger and she put her fingers to her mouth. Poor thing.

Back to this long nap business. So, since the weather had been a bit cooler, we decided to go on our walk sooner than we usually do. On most nights, she takes a cat nap during the walk. She was fussy this night and we felt sorry for her since she had her shots. So, with a little bit of hesitation, we got her out of her stroller and Dicky carried her for the last half of the walk. We got a few looks. I was pushing an empty stroller and Dicky was carrying Molly. Have we lost our minds! ? She crashed! Finally, the nap that we had been waiting for all day. It didn't last long. She did sleep for 11 hours that night though, so I will not complain!

Here she is, getting her way...

This is how our walk went...

Happy Birthday!!!




Happy Birthday to an amazing husband and father!!!
We spent Saturday celebrating Dicky's birthday with family. We had a great time and ate some delicious hamburgers. Dicky's birthday was actually on Monday, but we celebrated over the weekend. Molly had her 4 month appt. on Monday and we didn't plan on doing too much, just incase she was fussy. You know how that goes...

We love you and hope that you had a great birthday (even though it was spent at the pediatrician's office)!!! If Molly could say something, I am sure she would tell you thanks for being the best daddy ever. She loves you so much-I can tell by the way she looks at you and gets a huge gummy grin on her face!


Love you!
Sarah and Molly
