Chatty Cathy

Molly has been sick all weekend with a fever and cough and just feeling pretty lousy. Well even so, she does not allow the sniffles to stop her from the love of talking on the telephone. This was one of the only times today where she was actually happy and playing pretend.

She loves the telephone, and will pick it up and put it to her ear and say "heywhoa" (hello). she then will make the rounds and make everyone (including sophia) talk on the phone. so this made me happy to see her enjoying a couple of moments today, because the rest of the day was pretty bleak with a lot of whining, crying, lying around, and refusing any fluids/food.

Please pray she feels better tomorrow! Even though not feeling well, she saw the camera and had to show me her pearly whites. She's such a trooper!!
Telling NaNa "Mommy keeps taking my temperature and forcing me to take a drink". She looks pitiful, poor thing!

Sneaky

This was what happened when I thought she was in the living room with Pop reading a book, and Pop that she was with me in her room picking out an outfit for school the next day. I realized that it was just too quiet all of a sudden...

I was in Molly's room putting her clothes away and Molly decided that she would help. She loves to help fold the clothes, put things in baskets, clean, ect. WELL, she decided that she didn't like where her shirts were and took them out of the drawer they were in and started putting them into another drawer. Eventually it just turned out to be clothes all over the place, but she was very proud of herself for being such a helpful helper!

This is where we ran out of shirts in the drawer....

Ready for bed!

Molly was given this bathrobe when she was born, and it just fits her now. I brought it out because I am tired of fighting with the towel and a naked girl running around the house - she loves the robe, and now the new struggle is taking the robe off to put on our pajamas!

2008 Fall Pictures

Pumpkin... There was this really pretty weeping cherry tree in my parent's backyard, so I thought it would be a good idea to try to take some fall pictures with the Bird. She did really well until I got Tim to try to take a family picture. The one for our title picture is the best one, and it is my no means the best picture we've ever taken! Molly Bird here started to cry and didn't want to sit and it was just a disaster.

But I did get a couple of really great pictures of just Molly below!

She doesn't look like a baby anymore....she's a big girl now!!

Aw Sophia...

t-shirts

Molly woke up with wet pj's so Joe put her in this t-shirt that she got from the heart walk, and she just walked around the house in it..... *please note the sock on the hand.....

Pocketbook

My little pocketbook theif. I was emptying it when we got home from the zoo and she stole it and was walking all around the house with the pocketbook on her shoulder.... she can be so stinking cute

Philadelphia Zoo

Joe took this past weekend off to spend with Molly and I to celebrate our anneversary/my birthday. It was so nice to have him home with me 2 days in a row!! which is a rarity now that he is in school. It has been stressful for him to always be either at work or in school, so i think it was a good little breather for him before the semester starts wrapping up!

Below is a picture Joe took of the city. It was a beautiful day and we were able to get some amazing pictures! Enjoy!!

Molly was watching Backyardagains while she was waiting to go to thezoo. It was kinda cute, because she just settled herself right into the couch and placed her blanket and sat there...

Daddy had a thing for the turtles, so this is one of the million pictures that we had with them. They were really huge though, and a couple of them just looked like big old rocks....

Now that Molly walks, it was hard to keep her in her stroller for the most part, because she has a new found love for her independence! She did well for the most part and would hold on to Joe's hand. She wanted nothing to do with my hand.

I took her on the merry go round there and we chose the butterfly. It was cute. Molly of course did not want to come off the ride when it was done.

A lion. It was lying right near the glass. I have never seen a lion that up close before. Molly roared when she saw it - she's a genius I tell you!

Elephants - Molly's favorite animal
This is the Balloon that we went on. It goes up 400 ft. and you can see all of Phillie - which is where Joe took the pictures of the city. Molly thought it was great and would sway back and forth even though it wasn't that windy.Cheese!Some river I can't remember the name of... it was pretty though!
