Poor Baby

Molly is 12 days out from her 1 year vaccinations. She had the chicken pox, hep. A and MMR vaccines.  Since Thursday she has developed just about every side effect imaginable.
Bumps-one at her injection site and others on her face and back... not sure if it is the measles or chicken pox
High Fever 104.5 and Tylenol and Ibprofen haven't really been helping
Irritability
Cough
Runny Nose
Disturbed Sleep
Loss of appetite

And on top of all of this she has two new teeth coming through and an ear infection.

I hope this ends soon!!!

We have a walker!

On June 10th just a couple weeks shy of 13 months, Molly became a walker.  Her first day she walked 4 steps and now she can walk 20 steps or so without plopping down.  She has started talking and babbling a lot more too.  "No" is still her favorite word. She will sign "more", "please", "milk", and "thank you".  She also likes waving to everything, blowing kisses, and playing peek a boo. She will start climbing the stairs and scold herself by laughing and saying, "no."  She is trying to mimic more and loves brushing her, hair helping turn off the lights, playing with the remote, and pretending to talk on the phone.  She likes to throw everything off her high chair and will hug her baby dolls and then slam them to the floor.  We are working on "gentle" and "nice" but I am sure she is going to have to be tough keeping up with her older sister.

Quinn's 1st Dance Recital

Quinn danced to "Cinderelly, Cinderelly"  with her buddy Stella.  They were a riot.  Quinn was taking things very seriously, while Stella had created her own dance moves. Our little ballerina was in her glory and danced around our house the rest of the night.

Molly's 1st Birhday Party

  Yummy cake

  

 The birthday spread-dirt cakes too

 Don't let the smile fool you. She actually made herself puke from the feeling of the frosting. Wish I captured that on tape

 Now she likes it

 Now she wants more
