♥ She's getting better! ♥

Mollie is getting better at liking school.  Today &yesterday she ate all her food- breakfast, lunch & dinner &snack!  She only cries at drop-off & a little bit during the day ; it was funny today when I went to pick her up she was doing just fine her teacher was feeding her cheerios (Her teacher said she had to feed them to Mollie cause the other kids wanted Mollie's snack & Mollie wanted their snack- ha ha) & Mollie smiled at her teacher & handed her a cheerio to eat. It was cute & she also did her scrunched nose smile, so I know she likes her teacher atleast a tiny bit! ;) She also interacted with some of the other kids a little today too! It's so funny because she loves to push that little chair around the room... I'll leave you with this picture of Mollie on Friday when we were at Walmart I bought her a balloon for having a sorta good week. ha ha She loves looking at all the balloons at Walmart!

Its a little blurry because my phone camera is so sensitive &she doesn't hold still for 1 second!

And tomorrow our baby is 11 months old???? How can that be?

I am working on her party & it is going to be so cute! Invitations are on their way all the way from Mollie's Farm!

Mollie's 1st Day of School...

Mollie started school (daycare) on Tuesday!! It didn't go too well. She was happy as can be when I took her in & we sat in her room & played with some toys with her teacher & then she looked at me and started crying! She cried & cried & cried some more that day.  She cried ALL day, refused to eat or drink her formula & she would only drink her juice cup.  Wednesday... same thing she cried & cried. Thursday she cried a little less & finally on Friday she did really good & only cried a tiny bit when Nick dropped her off & right before I picked her up & she ate her whole lunch! 

She has to wear uniforms & it is so cute to see her in her little uniform! I tried to get a picture of her in her uniform on her 1st day but she wouldn't hold still long enough for me to get a good one. 

Her teacher is really great & takes very good care of our baby all day long! I know because they have cameras in the room & we can view her classroom ALL day on the computer! I love it! I always can she her!! Her teacher takes the time to feed her her lunch & rubs her back at naptime!  Ms. Priscilla told me Friday when I picked up Mollie, that she is funny as long as the other kids stay away from her & if Ms. Priscilla doesnt go by her Mollie is fine! But if they go by her she starts to cry.  Ha ha ....I guess she is use to playing alone!

Here are a few pictures of Mollie playing in her room today after her nap!

A video of Mollie walking around her room & trying to escape!

What do we do with this little girl...

Oh my Mollie is just too much... so we set up baracades to keep her in the living room because she is so on the go that we have to watch her constantly if she is out of the living room. Well this afternoon she wised up & climbed into the toybox that was blocking her way & then crawled out of it & she was free!  As soon as she was free where did she go....

Straight for the stairs!

I followed her because usually she goes to the door & looks for shoes to play with, but not this time she crawled right up one step & then the next like she does it everyday?!?! Whata are we going to do with her??? ha ha

In other news... I go back to work tomorrow....boo! Actually I went back last week but tomorrow we meet our kids so it's like work.  Mollie starts school (daycare) on Tuesday. :( Momma has to take her to school & I basically have to drop her and go so that I can get to work ontime for my kids 1st day of school & all the craziness that it brings.. And then I will be ready to run out of school at 2:57 to go get my baby & hopefully she will have had a good day at school...

Summer Nights...

It was a crazy, busy day, but it ended perfectly!  I had to go into work to turn in some reading materials, I took my little helper because Nick had to work at 12.  Mollie in the stroller lasted for about 10 cherrios & then she wanted out.  I let her walk around my room & tried to unpack some stuff but she was all over the place & I was worried she was going to get hurt cause there was stuff everywhere. So I decided I would come back tomorrow morning alone. 

Then I had to go register Mollie for daycare & to my suprise they are closed on Monday for a teacher work day.... what!? So her wonderful auntie said that she would watch her for us!!! Then off to costco for formula & target to buy supplies for my students (yes, you read that correctly- buy stuff for kids that aren't mine!) We got home and Mollie took a short nap & then she got up for lunch & Nick came home for a break. I was running around trying to do a million things-clean, get stuff ready for school, feed Mollie, make her dinner for later. She then went down for another nap. I wore her out today, I decided that when she got up I wasn't going to sit her in the living room to play by herself why I do more "stuff".

We went to the park & enjoyed the summer night! There was a ton of people at the park. We swang on the swings, played in the grass & then when to eat some ice cream! mmm..... Then we came home for dinner & bathtime & after a bit of trying to drag the big blanket around the room Mollie went straight to sleep & slept all night! Yay! She hasn't slept all night in forever!

She is just sooo happy on the swings & when you grab the swing to push her she just laughs & laughs...  

Ice cream....

♥ Shopping... ♥

Shopping seems to great more harder &harder the older Mollie gets. She wants to ride in the cart for about 5 minutes & that is it.  Toys, snacks, cell phone entertain her for about those 5 minutes then its crying time.  So I found a new way to let her ride & she is entertained for hours.... I can finally enjoy target once again. ;)

These are phone pictures so they are a little blurry.

How cute is this pink tricycle...

Just another day in paradise...

We had to get up bright & early yesterday morning to take Nick to the airport.  Mollie & I are not used to actually getting up before the sun! :) Yes, she still gets up in the middle of the night for a bottle (ya I know, she should be sleeping straight through the night, but she doesn't) & then up again around 6 or 7am to have a bottle BUT she goes back to sleep then until 8 or 9am.  But yesterday morning Nick had to be at the airport at 6:30am so we just aren't use to that... ;) It's nice having summers off! Anyways so we took him to the airport & came back and she was up until Grandpa arrived.  My dad came down to go to the Phillies/Marlins game last night with me & Auntie Ashley.  Mollie is still getting in 1 last of the 4 teeth on the top that are coming in & that one doesn't make her too happy.  She did a LOT of whinning yesterday & wanted to be held & refused to eat until about 4:30 that afternoon (she did have bottles, don't worry we aren't starving her!) Since we were going to the game Mollie Auntie Meg Meg came & watched Mollie for me & it was a nice getaway for a few hours...

Grandpa brought down Mollie a Philly Phanatic stuffed animal all the way from the Phillies Stadium.  I had one when I was Mollie's age so he got one for Mollie.  She loves playing with it!

Having fun with our girl...

Mollie is so funny.... I wrote about this before but everything is a phone to her! She picks it up & puts is to her ear & mumbles something close to Hello & a ton of ya ya ya yas.... ha ha it is so funny!  Here she was helping mommy bake.  I give her a spoon & containers of sprinkles & she is as happy as can be!

Look at those cute top teeth!

Just mischevious ...

Thinking about what she can get into next...

She carried this fishing pool around the whole afternoon...

Another trip to the park...

Little piggie... ha ha

Birthday Party!!

On Sunday we went to Alexia's 8th birthday party at the bowling alley.  I can't believe she is 8 already! :'(.  Although Mollie is just a little too bitty for bowling she sure did have a great time trying out her new walking feet & hanging around all of the kids!  She wanted to so bad walk down where the kids were bowling. I would put her up on the carpet with me & she would walk down the step & over to the kids where they were bowling.I tried to get some pictures of her but she just wouldn't hold still... All of the children had personalize bowling shirts, except Mollie she had a personalized onesie! So cute!!

She was nonstop the entire time! And was ready for a nap by the end of the party so it ended at a great time! She was asleep as soon as I pulled out of the parking lot!
