Party with Molly

Wendy, Adam and Molly went to a part with lots of people and a doggie. Molly really liked the little Dachshund at the party and chased it around the yard trying to catch it.

Sadly i am going to wake her up.

Molly is the last baby sleeping.

Molly is starting to walk

Today Molly started taking her first tentative steps. We will have video as soon as we can catch her in the act.

Is molly's first word 'tigger' or 'thank you'?

Outside Shadowbrook

We went to Sunday Brunch at Shadowbrook in Capitola with Grandmother.

New summer dress

It is getting hotter outside so Molly wearing lighter summer clothes now.

Out for a stroll.

Molly does not like the beach

She didn't like the sand. The people were interesting and she seemed to like looking at the ocean. Mostly we were happy to be out of the heat of San Jose.

The mall is a comfy place to drink

Other Stuff from today

Not only were we able to look at the future today, we were able to look a bit into the past. Here is Molly, dancing with Mommy...

Molly at the Maker's Faire

Today we headed up to San Mateo to attend the Make Faire. It is a crazy festival of professional and amature inventors, craftsman, and artists. The HP booth had a bunch of "make it yourself" projects.... and they had a big Panda. Here we are hanging with the Panda. Molly is the one with the bottle in her mouth. (Yup, she can feed herself... she just usually chooses NOT to).

Molly at Mommy's Work

Molly had a day off from school today. She went with Mommy to work. Fortunately, they have a great big pink beanbag chair to play in...
