13-Month Appointment

Mollie had her doctor appointment FINALLY! It's been put off first because she was sick and then the nurse that was seeing her for the research study was sick yesterday, so we finally had it today. All they had to do was take some blood out of her arm. But I asked them to weigh her anyways. With clothes and a diaper, my baby weighs 18lbs, 4oz, so we are considering her weighing 18 pounds....we are so close to that 20lb mark! Can't wait to turn her seat around and be able to see her without the mirror.

Nothing else to report...I have a very busy weekend with it being tax-free weekend at work. Mollie is spending Thursday with Mimi and Allie. Friday, Saturday and Sunday she can spend all day with her daddy.

Talk to everyone soon!

All Well Again!

Last Thursday night, Mollie had a fever of 100.5. No biggie or so I thought. She woke up Friday morning with the fever a little elevated to 101.5. She spent the day with her daddy and he spent the day going between Tylenol and Motrin. I got met them for dinner and she was a little cooler but was not interested in dinner. I brought her home, checked her temperture again and it was 102.5. I gave her some Motrin and put her down for the night.

She woke up Saturday morning HOT! Her temperture was up to 103.7. Harry took her to the doctor (thank goodness they are open on Saturdays!). It ended up that Mollie had a viral infection and they couldn't give her anything for it except what we were doing. Her fever continued the rest of the day and all day Sunday. Her fever broke Sunday night sometime during the night.

She woke up Monday morning in a good mood. We went for our walk, met up with Stacey, Presley and Emma for breakfast and I noticed that her neck had broken out into a rash. I knew right away what it was...she had Roseola. So, the Roseola went through her body. She woke up this morning (Thursday) and she is Roseola and fever free!

We are going to her 13-month appointment on Monday. I will update with all of the measurements.

Mini Update

Not much going on with Mollie. We spent the past week trying to stay out of our kitchen and Mollie was doing a great job at it, but I know she was getting frustrated that she was eating breakfast, lunch and dinner in the den!

We did finish our kitchen and I will post pictures when it is completly done. It looks beautiful and we are very excited that it's all done. Mollie has her 13 month doctor appointment on Thursday, so when that's over, I will post her updates.

I bought Mollie's flower girl dress for her uncle's wedding and I'm so excited that she will be wearing a beautiful dress in one year, one month and one day (yes, that's how much longer til the wedding!)

She's talking up a storm, cruising the ottoman in the den and eating up a storm!

I'll update more on Thursday.

July 4th Weekend

We had such a fun long weekend. On Friday (July 4th) Harry went to work while Mollie and I stayed home. He came home at 4:00 and I had to start getting ready for dinner. We had my parents (Eileen & Milton or to Mollie - Mimi and Poppy), the Cohens (Jill, Gideon, Nathan & Ryan) and the Zuckermans (Stacey, Mark, Presley & Emma) over for Shabbat dinner. We grilled steaks, corn on the cob, green beans and a salad. The Zuckermans brought over a yummy dessert. Mollie didn't enjoy the fireworks because they were keeping her awake, so she really didn't go to sleep until 10:00.
On Saturday (July 5th) we just hung out at home in the morning so Mollie could get a good nap before we went to Ethan Efrat's 1st birthday party. Mollie had so much fun playing with her friends! We came home, fed Mollie dinner and then Harry went to a movie. She was such a fun girl last night, but she did end up going to sleep at 8:00 and slept all night.
Today, Sunday (July 6th), we ate breakfast and Mollie took a nap from 8:30 to 10:30. Mollie and I went to Daniel's 1st birthday party while Harry waited at home for our new cooktop to arrive. I will give more information about that later. Mollie again had a great time with all of her friends. I think this was the most time she has spent with them!
Our little girl is having so much fun everyday. She's been doing so much exploring and testing her environment. She's learning new sign language and actually using them. I will update later on this week.

Funny Little Story

I wasn't meaning to post anything until after this weekend, but I just wanted to tell everyone a funny story about our little girl. I was working at someone's house today and Mollie was playing on the floor. She had her pacifier in her mouth and was talking up a storm. I looked at her and said, "I can't understand what you're saying. Please take paci out of your mouth and talk to me." She looked right at me, took out her pacifier and started talking away! Her favorite time right now, is sitting on the floor with all her toys around her and playing with every single one of them.

I'll update more after this weekend.
