The Red Chair

Mollie has discovered the red chair.
It's just her size and she can get in and out of it as she pleases. She loves it!
(Right now, it also functions as a deterrent,
keeping her from another favorite past-time of unloading the bookcase.)
She loves to sit and play in it.
With it being tucked back somewhat out of view,
sometimes I'll notice she's pretty quiet and will go looking for her.
Which lends to another fun thing she enjoys...playing "Peek-a-boo!"

This chair has been a favorite for a long time...5 1/2 years to be precise.
Here is Baby Kate (in 2006 at 17 months old) with her brand-new, just her size red chair!
Fast forward to 2011, and here's my Baby Kate.
Not much baby left, huh?
I tell her she'll always be my first baby though, no matter how grown up she gets.
She's doing the "Everybody Dance Now" routine on the Wii...
with an audience...
...using the same beloved red chair to get a better view!

8 month Mollie

I feel like a broken record, but seriously, ANOTHER month has gone by!?!
Mollie is 8 months old now, and is getting so big!
Big as in big-girl, able to do lots of things now, not big size-wise.
She's definitely growing, but is still petite.

Speaking of growing, look closely in her mouth and you can see that she got her 1st tooth!
She got it on Christmas Eve.
We've started giving her a bottle for a couple of her feedings.
Kate has been anxiously awaiting this day and her patience paid off!
Mollie got some baby dolls for Christmas.
When she opened them, Carter said "Now Mollie can be a mommy!"
So cute.
She's learning the fine art of playing with baby dolls from our resident expert ; )
Mollie has been pulling up on everything!
In fact, she's pulled quite a few things over onto her because of it.
She's tough though, and doesn't let it stop her.
And she has started to cruise a little, which makes me wonder if she's going to be our early walker. I'm not ready for that, I need a little more time please.
She's still not a fan of baby food. It's gotten better though.
At least now she'll open her mouth!
And she's not screaming through the whole event like she was a few months back. But she still spits most of it out and I can't tell if she just doesn't like any of it and wants table food, or if she needs to see someone to help her learn how to do solids??
We just keep trying here and there, and she's getting gradually better.
This picture was funny to me because she's looking at Josh like "Do I really have to eat this?"
But she would really rather chew on everything else.
Like the straps on her seat.
One of her favorite things to have in her mouth.
Must be some more teeth coming soon.
If this next month goes by the same way these 8 have, we'll have an answer soon enough!!
