As I get closer to my due date, I'm getting emotional thinking about how Molly won't be our only baby anymore. (I literally didn't make it through typing that sentence without tearing up.) I want to remember the time that we've had with just her. Baby boy is coming in 6ish weeks and our family is changing forever. Molly has such a sweet spirit and is growing so much every day and here are some of the things I'm loving right now.
She is getting super talkative and repeats a lot of stuff that we say.
-When we walk in the door she says, "hey bud" to Floyd. (this is how Blake greets Floyd)
-She likes to greet us by saying "hi baby"
-When she wants us to carry her and is getting impatient, she says, " Up peas, up peas, up peas..." over and over again as if saying it faster and louder will get her what she wants.
-Calls water, "waloo"
-She is really good at her animal sounds, except when I ask her what a dog says, she responds, "quack!"
-I was teaching her about being soft a while ago and now she likes to look us in the eyes while we're holding her, place her hand gently on our cheeks and say quietly, "soft, soft."
-When she's feeling cuddly she rests her head on our shoulders and says, "nice."
Molly has been throwing more tantrums recently and I wonder if it's because she can sense the changes that are about to come or just because she's entering that toddler stage, but I just want her to know so badly how much we love her and that when this new baby comes we won't love her any less. They say that your capacity to love just grows with each new child and I'm glad to hear that, because I don't want to have to love Molly any less, just be able to love both these babies so so much. We love our Molly Lynn, and are also so excited to welcome a new member to the family in a few weeks!
And here's a photo dump from the last few weeks. (I'm loving portrait mode on our new iPhones.)
