This morning at 1:15 am, Sam was waking me up saying "Mom, I need a napkin." I had gone to bed around midnight and it took me a long time to actually get up.
Molly is now 6 months old. Where does the time go? It is getting a little more difficult to take these pictures because she is becoming more mobile. She is rolling all over the place. She's trying hard to sit up by herself. Not really trying to sleep through the night. 16 lbs and growing.
I LOVE that face!
Sam and Molly just love each other. Sam makes her laugh the hardest. When Molly is napping (rare), Sam always asks where she is. "I need her."
We tried bathing them together. We'll have to wait until Molly can really sit up all by herself. She was just too slippery, but Sam was in heaven.
Molly is learning to eat cereal and veggies. YUM!
Molly trying to eat a Biter Biscut. Please tell me that your house sometimes looks like that. Please!
Sam is learning to dress himself. Sort of. But the potty training is going pretty well. We just have to get it by August (for Preschool).
Sam became a Sunbeam! I may have had a few tears. His teacher is awesome, she's a kindergarten teacher. What could be better? He loves it!
In fact, he loved his crown so much that he wore it for the next two days. To Target and Costco. He is so happy to be a Sunbeam!
Christmas was great! We went back and forth between the Woffinden's and the Hansen's. That's what you have to do when you live 5 minutes from each family. We have been so blessed this year to have Devin's good job, me being able to stay home and TWO healthy kids.
Molly-5 months
Sam and the great Santa Devin got for our ward party. Sam was so excited about Santa and Rudolf this year. They are his "best friends."
Molly's First Christmas
The Girls on Christmas Morning
Sammy got a very manly kitchen and he loves to "cook." His favorite things to cook are "Deons". We have no idea what they are, but I know we'll wet ourselves laughing when we finally figure it out.
We also got to visit with some of our very favorite people. Jeremy and Melissa came for Christmas! Even though they stayed for 3 weeks, it still wasn't long enough. We love you guys!
WHY? This word has unfortunately found its way into Sam's vocabulary. I mean it now IS Sam's vocabulary. After I have answered with 5-6 real reasons to his WHY, I just give up and say "Because I said so" or "Just Because". Is that so wrong?
When your kids are this happy in the morning...Life is Good
When your kids like being together...Life is Good
When kisses happen voluntarily...Life is Good
When you are blessed with a baby that is this cute and smells good every night...Life is Good
When you are ALL having a great Thanksgiving...Life is Good (Molly's first cereal)
When the boys at your house look this good and even make it to church on time...Life is Good
When you get a good picture of your 2 kids in their Sunday clothes...Life is Good
When this happens 0.2 seconds after the good picture...Life is GREAT!
Sam is now quite the little talker. I thought it would never happen. I love to see his little personality emerge more every day.
K: What is your favorite color?
Sam: Red and blue. Because red and blue are for big boys.
K: Who is your best friend?
Sam: Daddy and you and Molly and Lucy (giggle)
K: What is Santa going to bring you?
Sam: HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS. That's the surprise on Christmas time. And it's so noisy.
K: Why do you suck your thumb so much?
Sam: Cuz I can suck it in the daytime. In this room.
K: What is your favorite animal?
Sam: Well then, it's a horsey and a cow. We saw plenty cows when we were going...'Member the little pony at someones house? Kate and Trevor and Austin, remember their house? It was fun.
K: What are you going to be when you grow up?
Sam: Well, I really like to be a sootball (football) player. It's good to be a football player.
This was cut short by Molly waking up and Sam telling me, "Molly's waking up. Check on her please. Right now."
Then he got his Mickey Mouse flip flops and told me he was ready to go to the beach.
My life is pretty fun with this kid!
