She said MAMA!!!!!

Until today, "Dada" has gotten all the love, but today I finally heard "MAMA"... what a sweet sound!

When did our little girl get SOOO big?!

Wow, the hair is coming in, the vocabulary is getting bigger and this little one hasn't stopped moving. We cannot believe how big she is getting! And watching her personality is the most fun! She loves dancing, kicking in the bath and chasing Charlie... we even get some cuddles every now and then.

Old video... the army crawl

I don't think I ever posted this old video of one of Mollie's first army crawls.  

I thought it should be documented!

Dancing, Talking and Smiling

We tried to catch her moves, but she stopped as soon as she saw us.  Luckily we still captured some interesting noises and great smiles!

Sushi Night

We had our first family sushi night tonight.  The chopsticks were a big hit!

Day at the Pool

It's getting hot in Dallas, so Mollie got out in the water to showcase her signature rolls :)

Madeline's Sleepover

We had two busy girls here last night for the big sleepover!

After the park and before the reading, Madeline help down the fort in Charlie's "cave", and Mollie played right outside trying to get a piece of the action :)

The Zoo!

Mollie had her first trip to the Zoo today.  

Here she is looking at some of the animals.

Mollie checking out the Tiger ~

and posing by the lama...

and the monkeys...

and the elephants...

And lastly, the giraffes...

Mesmerized by Music

Mollie couldn't get enough of Crazy Uncle Josh's guitar serenade.  After just staring at him in amazement, she went on to eat the strings, try to play a tune herself, and even sing a little.

Happy Easter

Mollie impressed us all by sitting through the entire Easter church service (almost).  She loved the music, stained glass windows and flirting with the people in the pew behind us, and we loved having her with us for the service!

After church we had brunch with way too much food and easter egg hunts.  

Mollie loved eating the eggs even though there were no treats inside.

And then there was the outfit change.  

Mollie went with a dress I wore when I was a little one.

Happy Birthday to Cousin Madeline

Mollie had fun celebrating Madeline's 3rd birthday in her new play house!

A couple more of our beach baby

We finally got a smile in the waves, after a fair amount of tears :)

Mollie - some pics for you so you can picture the first place you took a beach vacation...

Happy 8 Months Mollie Laine

Our baby girl is eight months old today... army crawling all over, lots of "da da's", standing anywhere she can, enjoying baby crackers, expanding her food repertoire, laughing at Charlie and continuing to light up a room with her smile!

Looking 

mischievous....

And laughing at her dog...

Love you Mollie!
