Daffodil Meadow?

Well, we were supposed to go to Daffodil Meadow. We tried. Molly was never going to make it there. The hike was too much for her. We did talk about the stream and the fallen trees and the trees that looked like beavers had chewed them, but mostly she talked about going to a park with swings.
I said "your friends are at a park with flowers and no swings".
She said "I want to go swing."
So we went to a park with swings. She said "our friends not here. They at a different park, with flowers."



First some pics of the girls driving cars. This is what I have to look forward to in 14 years!

I can't see my camera screen in the sun, so I was taking these blindly not knowing that it was upside down. I THOUGHT I fixed these, but I guess not.

mmmmm...

Molly enjoyed lunch. Chocolate Dream Peanut Butter (like Nutella). Yum!

crafting & playing

This is how Corey found us his afternoon. Crafting. Ruby wanted to watch. I stood her up, but she stood there at the table for several minutes while we smeared glue on stuff.

Molly & Ruby playing. I think Molly hands Ruby a turtle and says it's a snail. But at least she's sharing!

Molly wears panites

On her head.... And she was running around saying "I'm SUPER GIRL!"

Ruby can wave

Ruby shaking her rattle. She just started waving too. Her first time was to Molly at nap time! Too cute. I bet you can imagine. I love the end of this video when she grabs the baby dolls foot and shakes that too. She's funny!

carousel

we went to the mall to buy momma a dress. ANd we had lunch (because momma took forever) and then rode the carousel. I believe this is Molly's second time. And her first time was almost exactly a year ago in Philly! It was Ruby's first time.




Notice Ruby's outfit? Hearts. She has on a pink shirt under her heart sweatshirt. She also has on pink socks and pink shoes. So why do people say stupid things like "Oh. He's gonna have red hair, isn't he?" Hey! Old lady! If you had a boy, would YOU dress him in hearts and pink? Guess I have to make Ruby wear a bow on her fuzzy little maybe-red head.

how to use a straw

The girls were playing with their straw cups. Ruby hasn't really figured it out yet. Notice hers is upside down. Molly loves to say "like this Ruby!" Could they smile a little bigger?

lost stuff

I found some "lost" pics & vids... on my CAMERA! LOL Who'd a thunk? We take so many with our phones these days and my camera is eating through batteries (the rechargables that came with are useless).

Anyways... you may want to go back to 3/4, 3/12, 3/16, 4/1, and back to 4/4 when you get a chance.

Molly's new Backpack

Ok. So these pics were taken on March 14th, but who cares? My friend Jenn (THANKS JENN!) made Molly this super cool backpack. But to try to get a picture of her wearing it is crazy! There has been all sorts of things in this backpack. Swimming stuff. Baby dolls. Sometimes this is worn backwards and is a baby carrier. Snacks. Balls. Blocks. You name it.

bubbles!

Molly blowing bubbles and narrating how to do it. Yes, a helmet is required.

slick chic

She thinks she's soooo funny! And she is! Wearing (Halloween) pajamas, sunglasses, and a baby towel as a cape. The best part is, right after this, she put on her thongs (flip flops to you east coasters) and went to the mail box and down the street to see the "new hair" or roof being put on a house. Oh yeah! I am mother of the year material! Mollywas happy.

ice cube painting

This was a neat craft. Ice cube painting. But Molly painted her hands with the ice cubes. The ice cubes were colored with food coloring. Her hands and arms were purple. Oh well.

what little girls are made of

it's a jello egg

Ruby being Ruby..


Molly having a tea party with her bunny.

A Day at the Park

This might be Ruby's first swing. Yeah, she's enjoying the dangle.

WOW! Look how long Molly looks! And both girls are all in pink!
HA HA HA "If I have girls, it's not like I'd dress them all in pink anyway."
But I didn't purchase these clothes (PAMMY).

Pushing them both on the swings. (Until Molly tells me not to push her; she wants to do it by herself.)



Ignore my cackling. "Wee this is fun!" Molly says.

crawling and cuteness

This is Molly's new face. She gets these big eyes. I took this picture to show her she had something on her face. LOL What a cutie-pie?!

Ruby crawled one step and sat up on the 2nd! Here's a video of it from today. She's 8 months old today!

what did the Easter Bunny bring you?

if this were in CC it would say "unintelligible ramblings"

matching red faces

Some matching red faces after a long walk and playing at the park. The park is much further away from our new house. Momma carried Ruby most of the way there and back, but then she wanted to ride in the wagon with Molly. This was fine until both girls wanted both water bottles and neither was content with just one.

In other news... Ruby crawled (forward) one step last night! And a while later she went from sitting to her belly and rolled onto her back and then back to her belly and THEN she SAT BACK UP!

in & out

Ruby's new hobby is to take things out and then put them back in. She was taking blocks from me and putting them in the wagon and then checking to see if they were still there, but it's difficult to capture on camera.






playing with a tactile ball (ok, so it's a ball with lots of little nipples- of course she likes it!)



And playing with a bucket of eggs. She LOVES this. She dumps it out, puts stuff in, dumps it out, repeat, etc. Between this, the blocks & wagon, and the ballpit, there are always toys ALL over. That's why we had kids, right?
