Happy Grandparents Day!

Thank you Pop Pop for making Grandparents Day special. Riley Jack took his Pop Pop to school on Friday 9-26-08 to celebrate Grandparents day. They made a special craft together and enjoyed a program where Riley Jack got up on stage and "danced". Pop Pop said he learned his "interpretive" dance style from his mommy. Ha Ha! Love you Pop Pop

Molly Claire loves to take afternoon naps in her swing.

Playtime...trying to catch a smile

Trying to catch that elusive smile is a difficult task. She looks a little puzzled.

Here is a tiny glimpse of a smile. Molly Claire loves to stare up at the star underneath her Baby Einstein Playmat

She has learned that if she kicks or hits with her hand any part of the playmat, the lights on the star light up and play a song. It was way too cool to watch her figure it out.

TWO MONTH CHECK UP!

Molly Claire did a great job at her 2 month check up, she was weighed and measured and didn't even fuss. She also was a champ when it was time for her vaccinations. Of course she cried.....but not for long. Riley Jack went to the Doctor with us, and he was busy, busy, busy. He was a good boy, but when it came time for Molly Claire to get her shots, you should have seen him,......he was so worried for Molly Claire, it was way too cute.

Molly Claire weighs in at the 90% at 13lbs 2oz and in the 80% for height 23 1/2 inches

Week 8

 
 
 

For those of you keeping up with the blog and actually reading all the nonsense that I write, you will recall that we have considered Molly Claire a fussy baby. Going so far as to consider her to have colic and ordering gripe water online to ease her discomfort. Alas, last Thursday 9-4-08, I was at my wits end. My Godmother Roxanne was flying in that evening and I had not been able to get anything done, not even a shower. I could not get Molly Claire to calm down without me holding her. Poor Riley Jack was watching me come unglued by the second. I was waiting for Michael to get home from work so I could have a moments peace while driving (by myself)to the airport to pick up Roxanne.

Michael suggested we try the purple canister of formula that we had received in the mail as a sample. It was reputed to be easier on a babies tummy b/c it had partially broken down proteins....whatever. Long story short, Molly Claire is a completely different baby. It happened with the first changed bottle....a blessing. She is content, she is no longer in discomfort....she is a joy. She appears happier, she smiles and cooes, where before she was not doing any of those things. Yeah, daddy for making me change formula. You are the best!

Soccer for 3 year olds........

Two Saturdays ago.....we picked up the paraphanelia that ever soccer player needs...

We tried it allllllll on and gave it a trial run, he declared himself ready to play. We shall see.




They put their name on the back of their shirts so the coaches know who to yell at to kick the ball

He is such a cutie, who needs a professional photographer?

Weekend with Ra Ra

Roxanne is mine and my sisters Godmother. She has known us since birth. Her and my dad knew each other way back when. I can always remember her being in our lives. She is full of wisdom and grace. As a small girl, RaRa instilled in me the love of two things.....swimming and photography. I always remember Ra with her camera. I am "borrowing" a fabulous collage she did of my sister and I when we were little. Ra Ra also taught me how to float in water. I have a distinct memory of her teaching me in to float in the pool by the marina when I was a young girl. I've loved water ever since.

Since my parents are both only children, Roxanne is my closest "relative", I am so glad that we have been spending more time together and that she is getting to know my kids. Riley Jack calls her Aunt RaRa. She has many gifts to share and I am thrilled that I get to be a recipient of them.

Love you RaRa!
