Best Christmas present ever

Molly's Christmas gift to Mom and Dad?...

FINALLY sleeping through the night! 8:30 at night to 10:00 in the morning! Thanks baby girl, it's exactly what we wanted!

The girl can move!

Isn't Molly too young to start crawling?! She's really started to get it down this past week. It's pretty slow going, but she definitely knows what she's doing and can usually get to what she wants. More often than not she moves backwards, but at least she's moving! Lately she'd rather play on the floor than be held by anyone. She thinks she's so big!

Babysitting

We got to spend the last few days with my cousins cute kids. It was so much fun! Molly loved watching the other kids play, and they loved making her laugh. They were so cute and helpful. They helped me feed, hold, and bathe Molly. They even sang her to sleep! Molly loved all the attention.

Thanks Lynette and Andy for letting us watch your cute kids, it was a blast!

Six Months

Molly turned six months old on Saturday! I can't believe it. She is the best baby and we love her so much. A little about Molly at six months:

*She is 25.5 inches long (50%)

*She weighs 18 pounds 4 ounces (90%)... we're looking into getting her a personal trainer!

*She has dozens of nicknames: Mollster, Molly Wobbles, Miss Molly, Teeny Tiny, Baby girl, Toots McGee, Molly pie...

*She has one little tooth peeking out and more on their way

*She can still only roll from her back to her tummy

*She is a sitting champ

*She is dangerously close to crawling, she can get onto her hands and knees and scoot a little

*Her hair is getting so long and luxurious and it's blond like her daddy's

*She loves toys, especially anything that makes noise

*She loves to stand up

*Everyone comments on her big smile and her chubby cheeks

*Her favorite food is sweet potatoes

*She is still not sleeping through the night

*She rubs her eyes when she's sleepy - it's the cutest thing i've ever seen!

*She is almost always happy and smiling

We feel so lucky to have such a sweet little girl!

Happy 1/2 birthday baby girl!

Thankful!

Thanksgiving was so great! We went with the Thatchers this year. Dinner was absolutely delicious and it was so good to spend time with family. Molly hardly got any attention at all! After dinner we just relaxed, played video games, and napped then we went to see HP7 - which was fantastic! It was a fun, great day!

Macey's blessing

Last weekend we headed down to Henderson for Macey's blessing. Josh did a great job and Macey is such a pretty little girl. The Dockter's were in town for the day so we got to see them too! We had the entire family together except Ally (miss you Alst). It was so fun to see everyone and it was a great weekend!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I have a confession... I'm one of those people who skips over Thanksgiving and goes right to Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving but it just can't really compete with all Christmas has to offer! No, my tree isn't up yet and no, I haven't been playing Christmas music, but Trevor did come home to this last night...

Yep, our shopping is almost done! We only have a few more things to get. Christmas shopping stresses me out so I like to get it done as early as possible. Trevor thinks i'm crazy but if it were up to him we wouldn't buy anything until Christmas Eve! Am I the only one who already has Christmas presents wrapped? We'll see how long they stay that way!

The best part of my day!

This has become our new nightly ritual and I love it! Molly loves time with her daddy!

Happy Halloween

Trevor and I have never really gotten into Halloween. This was actually the first year that we have even dressed up and it was a lot of fun. We had to match Molly so we went as duck hunters and she was our catch! It was such a fun day. We trick-or-treated at my parents then went to a party at a friends house. Molly wasn't quite sure what to think about everyone's costumes and I think she was a little scared of some of them, like our friend who went as a banana! Haha. It was so fun being able to dress Molly up, I can't wait until next year when she might actually know what's going on!

He got a job!!!

Since Trevor started the Macc, he has been busy going to open houses, recruiting events, office visits, interviews, second interviews, etc... The accounting firms do all their hiring almost a year in advance, so Trevor has been applying for jobs that he'll start at in August. Trevor did so good to get a few different offers and we had a tough decision to make, but we're happy to say that we'll be staying in Salt Lake! He got an offer from his number one choice downtown and is excited to start working there! It's a great firm and will be a good fit for him. We're so glad to finally be done with recruiting, it's been a long process but totally worth it! Good job Trev!
