11 Months!!!

OK I am definitely posting this late, but I only took it a couple days late. WHERE is our baby? Not in this photo!!!

Mollie is still amazing us every day with her new accomplishments! She's a superfast crawler and will get into anything quicker than you could imagine! She is one BUSY baby, it seems like overnight. She's just as strong-willed as her sister, perhaps even a bit moreso! She's started really being pretty ornery from time to time, and is doing that "thing" where she does something she knows she isn't supposed to, and is watching you the whole time to see if you're going to stop her. It's pretty crazy how quickly she's moved from baby baby to almost-toddler!!!!

She's started using the sign for "more," which is really fun. It's helpful when we're feeding her, and occasionally she uses it for something else too. I know I saw her signing "more" to Natalie when they were playing patty cake a few days ago. Last week, I was letting her play with a kleenex, and she was tearing little pieces off and handing them to me. When she got to the last piece, she stuck it in her mouth. I scooped it out quickly, and she immediately looked at me, and signed "more." Kim and I were cracking up!

So here's her pink bear photo, and then one of the girlies together. I know I've been a bad blogger lately, but another thing Mollie's been doing is NOT sleeping through the night along with waking up way.too.stinking.early. Brad and I are both suffering from some sleep deprivation. So anyway, that's what you can partially blame for the lack of updates. But - PRAISE JESUS!! - Mollie has been sleeping through the night the past few nights (three to be exact), and I feel like I have a new lease on life! Let's keep that up, Mollie Grace! :)

Bathing Beauties

Here are some recent pics of our two little sweeties in the pool. Mollie wasn't too sure what to think about it at first because the water was pretty cold, but she eventually decided that it was fun. I had to sit with her and splash water gently on her for a lonnnnng time before she was ok with it the very first time. I'm glad we kept at it, though, because they had lots of fun! :)

There's also a video of Natalie and her new dance moves at the end. ;)

Enjoy!
