A great Saturday

Baby Blue Eyes

It is a bed, right?! So why not sleep on it.

Mollie had  a good time rolling around on Charlie's bed!

My first mother's day

I couldn't be more thrilled to be a Mom on this special day and I couldn't imagine loving anything more than my beautiful baby girl.  Thank you to Ryan and Mollie for making today so special and for making every day so much fun to be a mom.  I feel so blessed!

I couldn't resist reliving some of my favorite memories with my girl today!

The Zoo...

The Beach...

Your first Easter...
Sporting the sunglasses...
Playing at the park...
Your first St. Patrick's Day...Your first swimming class...
Your six month pictures...
A couple playing in the backyard...

Your first Merry First Christmas...

Our sweet pea on your first Halloween...

Laughing together...
Your first vacation to the Chesapeake Bay...

First time we captured a big smile together...
Your first trip to the arboretum...

Morning snuggles... was my favorite way to start the day
Your arrival...

9 Months Old!!!

Our Mollie Laine is 3/4 of a year old today!  She weighed in at 20 lbs. 10 ozs and is 30 inches tall (still off the charts!).  Our big girl is still army crawling around, but prefers to spend her time walking while holding onto mom or dad's hands.  She had her first meal with all four food groups yesterday, still loves Charlie, splashing in the bath, being tickled on her sides and being the center of attention.  She also likes to hear her voice be heard, but mostly still with dada, although she sprinkles in a few "mama's" to keep me wrapped around her finger.  We love you Mollie, and can't believe you're almost a year old!

 

"My parents went to Aruba...

...and all I got was this goofy tank top (which they say looks adorable on me) and some wonderful quality time with my babysitter, Grandma!"

"Grandma, thanks so much for taking such good care of me, and thanks to Aunt Annie, Uncle Josh, Aunt Kelly, Nana and Papa for helping out too!!!"

Look away for a second...

I guess Mollie is imitating either her best bud Charlie or cousin Madeline!
