These pictures of Molly just killed me. She'll walk around with that hat over her eyes longer than you'd think! This girl...

Molly will be 15 months old in a few minutes. 15 months! 

Let's talk about that. 

Molly is now saying a variety of things.  Here's a little list. 

Yeah

Uh-oh

No

Mama

Dada

Bye

Daemoo - her light-up seahorse - I have no idea. 

Milk

More

Mo (Molly)

She's not really putting words together yet, but we got a "Mo bye" out of her the other night in her "I need to go fishing, too" tantrum. 

Molly is incredibly one-track-minded, but she's not very stubborn. She'll try and try and try, but once you re-direct her, she'll usually find something else to do without a fight. 

Molly is still sleeping right through the night, from about 7pm to 7am, most nights. She very rarely wakes up in the middle of the night and requires a large collection of items in her crib. Several blankets, Daemoo, her water bottle, her pink dinosaur and her noise machine next to the crib. It has to be completely dark, both at bed time and during naps. 

She's still climbing absolutely everything and is known both nurseries she frequents as "the climber." Molly also loves to clap and dance and will do anything for a laugh. She's the President and CEO of the Association for Sisterhood Equity and even at 15 months, things have to be perfectly equal and matching at all times. 

Molly just oozes character. She's absolutely the most charming, silly, funny little person. I adore every inch of her tiny little person. 

She weighs 17 pounds now, and is gaining very, very slowly. But you'll remember we had that problem with Lucy, too, at this age and there was really nothing to do but wait it out. She's very strong and healthy - just a skinny little chicken!

Tomorrow night, I'll post about Lucy at 3 years and a month - what a little lady!

In other news, we signed on a car tonight and will be going back tomorrow to pick up our beautiful 2009 Sedona! I was hesitant about buying a minivan, but let's face it. It's incredibly practical, roomy and versatile and as a young family, we need something that will work with us and not against us. There's a reason they've been around so long and I think it'll just fit us well. I appreciate the fact that the minivan shape has changed somewhat and is looking more "car" ish. I'll post more pics when we have them!
