I have to record how much Molly loves her big kids. She giggles and giggles when they come close and can't get enough of their jokes, or the things they do to make her laugh. She will crawl up my shoulder in anticipation and excitement when she thinks they are coming to get her. And her favorite place to get a zerbert is her neck. What a fun, fun friend we have in Molly Joy!

On the growth chart!

When you have several kids who usually aren't on the growth chart, it's pretty exciting when you have one who is and you need to document it! Part of me wonders if I have just learned to be more patient (and tricky) at feeding her baby food. We've also had lots of time to just cuddle and let her eat during the freezing cold winter we've had. Whatever the reason, she's been about the 50th percentile. At birth, she was 7 lbs 12 oz. Now she's probably 16 pounds and has three months until she turns one. (Today is her 9 month birthday!) Here are some more of her stats:
9/25 - she got down to 6 lbs. 15 oz.
10/4 - she got back up to 7 lbs. 10 oz.
11/25 - 10 lbs. 12 oz.
1/13 - 12 lbs. 9 oz.
3/3 - 13 lbs. 15 oz.
