Eating

We know its a little early, but we started to give Molly some solid food. She is doing pretty well with it so far. She had a bit of a tough week with eating and sleeping, but we hope she has turned the corner. She is still working on learning how to sleep for long periods.

She is a very patient baby. I find that she is very observational. She is happy to sit and take it all in.

Her favorite toys are her books. She loves to be read to and to be able to hold and turn the pages.

Sit-up

Molly can topple, but she can sit-up by herself now. She sits in her high chair with us at dinner now which she really likes. If we leave her on her mat she is rolling over and reaching for stuff.

She laughs a lot and seems happy. She is still growing like crazy.

Vermont

Molly just got back from her first vacation in Vermont. She was a real trooper. Its not easy being a baby--thats for sure.

Molly went swimming a few times, but it was pretty cold for her. She really worked hard on sitting up (she can pretty much do it) and giggling at stuff.

She is a cutey.

Vacation

Molly leaves on her first vacation to Vermont this weekend. She is excited to go. Molly is really starting to grab everything in sight and is slowly becoming a little more independent. She likes to sit up and read her books, especially if Claudia is reading with her.

Big Girl

4 month

Molly had her 4 month check-up today and is in good health. Quite tall, quite big (with a big head and big muscles).

Sleeping and Laughing

Molly is on a very odd sleeping schedule. She still doesn't sleep for mroe than four hours at a time, but she does go back to sleep at night.

Molly spent about twenty minutes yesterday laughing at Claudia as Claudia horsed around. That was her first sustained session of hysterics. She is starting to slowly transition into regular baby stuff and out of sleep-cry-eat baby stuff.

I'd swear she is starting to get a tooth as she is really chewing and drooling a lot, but Kasey doesnt think so.
