The Climber

So Molly has figured out how to get in her high chair all by herself...what an accomplishment for her!!!!

Molly & Daddy playing

Molly has perfected walking even though it took 14 months!!!! She is still a bit clumsy...but is getting better every day!

Molly starting to walk on her own 4.26.10

Molly has just started walking on her own without using a push toy (4.26.10). She only takes about 10 steps at a time...but it is a start!! She'll be cruising before we know it!

Molly walking w/ assistance

We just starting walking with the help of a push toy. She will walk with us holding her hand, but now this is her first step towards freedom...walking without mommy or daddy!

Who needs to crawl when we can SCOOT??

36 1/2 weeks (only 3 1/2 to go!!!)

Today's ultrasound estimated her weight to be at 6lbs 9oz. If she gains the average 1/2 lb a week, she will be over 8 1/2 lbs at birth. The doctor said my placenta looks good and NOT ready to deliver, so she expects me to carry full term. If the placenta looks "old" I guess that means it is ready to deliver anytime. She said this baby is comfy in there and does not seem to want to come out right now. No dialation and no thinning....so I guess I am in it for the long haul. Hey, that gives me 3 1/2 more weeks to complete my last minute shopping!!!

35 Weeks Pregnant...only 5 (or less) to go!!!

7 months pregnant (28 weeks to be exact)

So 3 weeks ago I was complaining that I could not feel her moving or kicking, and now I wonder if she is doing aerobics in there!!!!! I feel her all day & night!!! It is absolutely amazing! I am not sure if it is stranger to me or Marcus....he LOVES to feel her move around. I can only imagine how it will feel in the next month or so. Marcus is waiting to see a foot kick him one day.

Preparing the baby's room!!!

We finished painting the baby's room this weekend! Cathy & I painted the first coat a few weeks ago, and then finished the stripes this weekend. We thought it was going to be a bigger hassle than it was....and boy do we feel like professional painters now!!!! I highly suggest striping to add a little dimension to a room...and it is NOT hard to do!

Our trip to Arizona - October 2008

We went to visit my cousin Jennie, Grandpa Haug & Kathy, & Uncle Jim. We didn't tell Grandpa we were visiting, instead we decided to surprise him on his birthday!! When he came over to Jennie's house for his birthday dinner, I greeted him at the door with a hug and a big "SURPRISE"!!!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Our Family

So, our family of 4 is about to get larger! In about 20 weeks, we will be adding a little one to the mix. How will the dogs adjust....we'll see! I think Wrigley will be fine, but Cleo will have a little adjusting to do. She will no longer be the center of attention...so she may have to grow up a bit. We have some time to work on her "neediness" though...so maybe we can get Cesar Milan to come visit in that time...hee, hee!

Our Wedding Day

What a wonderful dream wedding! We had more than a wedding day...we had a wedding WEEK! Most of the family was there with a few close friends, so we all enjoyed a full week together on the beach. It was nice to walk out the back door (literally) and sit on the beach. I would not have changed a thing about that day...except maybe the rain that came later that night. But you know what they say...rain on your wedding day is GOOD LUCK!!!!
