12 months old! Happy Birthday Molly Caroline!

My baby turned one on June 4, 2014! It has been the fastest year ever! 12 months is really a fun age! Haven't they all been!?!

Molly Caroline pulls up and stands.

She is a climber! She climbs in her chairs and over and under furniture!

She screams to get your attention.

She has become a great eater.  Of course I break everything up so tiny! 

She finally started drinking from a sippy. It's a nuk brand.

She says no no all the time! Bottle and thank you are two of her newest words! She has the most precious voice!

She loves to drink out of a tervis and also stick her hands down in drinks.

She loves to wash her hands!

She enjoys eating puffs from a snack catcher or the container itself.

She likes to FaceTime our family. It instantly makes her laugh.

Toilet paper rolls keep her busy for a long time. Her ball pit does too!

Her dancing has gotten even cuter. She moves her whole body now!

She walks behind her push toy!

She is definitely a water baby!

We've pulled out our swaddling blankets to loosely wrap her legs for naps. She loves it! 

Molly Caroline you are the most special baby. You are sweet, loving, sassy, beautiful, silly, a mama and a daddy's girl. You are our princess, our honey bunch, our sugar, our angel, our treasure, our gift, our pride and joy. We are so thankful that The Lord entrusted us to be your mommy and daddy. We still can't believe you're ours. We love you more than anything. Your birthday and every day since have been our happiest days. Happy Birthday Molly Caroline! We love you so!

11 months old!

We celebrated Molly Caroline turning 11 months old on May 4! I figured I better post this since she turns ONE tomorrow!

She starting sharing this month. She loves to share her pacis, bows, and toys with me. She thinks it's funny!

She loves for Matt to chase her. He says, "I'm coming to get you." And she squeals, "Eeeeee!"

She found her belly button. 

She claps! All the time! If you say "yay" she automatically claps! It's the most precious thing ever!

She actually crawls normally more often then her army crawl which I never thought would happen.

Molly Caroline loves playing with the kids at the babysitter, reading books, going for walks in her stroller and wagon, her pacifier, her bottles, and baths. 

She doesn't like the exersaucer at all anymore.

She is on the move...all over the place. 

She still loves all of her toys!

She loves music!

She is still a great sleeper and eater! We are so thankful for this!

Molly Caroline, I can't even think about how special you are and how meaningful your first birthday will be without getting tears in my eyes! I remember holding you when you were only weeks old thinking about how fun our summers would be together! I still want to freeze time almost daily! How did a year pass so quickly? I love you more than anything baby Molly Caroline. You are so loved!

Five on Friday!

So much to catch up on! And today was the last day of school!

Last year on this day I got permission to go visit my class on their last day of school! This year Molly Caroline came to celebrate summer birthdays with my summer babies. My class adores her!

This happened as a last week of school treat! 

We finally found a sippy cup that our princess will drink from. Thank you NUK, again.

Matt built my outdoor farmhouse table last weekend!

This precious baby gets sweeter everyday! Dreaming of our summer together is refreshing and exciting!

A joyful week...a worshipful/country mix!

Blasting these new songs from my favorite, CNOCK, has helped start my early mornings off right! And I mean EARLY. I've been getting up extra early this week because there is just so much to be done with only 10 days of kindergarten left. :)




And THIS! I love them and Nashville. And Tami Taylor, I mean Rayna. :) I'm sort of getting over the whole Friday Night Lights being over.


Y'all I'm sharing some amazing music. Hope you enjoyed! :)

Let's Fiesta!

We love Mexican food and love the month of May so it only seems fitting to have a little fiesta every year on Cinco de Mayo. We had the neighbors over and I tried to make our casa festive with what I already had. Next year I'm going all out...think a piñata and more!! Our taco bar was a fun way to start off the week! Playing mariachi music really made it feel like we were on a breezy patio somewhere too!

10 months old!

This is a month late! Molly Caroline turned 10 months old on April 4, 2014. 

Molly Caroline crawls everywhere now and fast! 

She loves to pull out her bow! 

Her two upper front teeth have started coming in.

Balls and Easter Eggs are two of her favorite things! I love hearing her say "ba" 

She dances to music often!

She is joyous and filled with laughter. She can just look at something and laugh. It's pretty funny!

She loves to crawl right next to Blakely and hold the tags on her collar. We call it Blakely's jewelry.

We have been trying training cups but so far Molly Caroline only chews on them. 

We started packing up a lot of baby gear. She doesn't use it, but it's so hard to put away! 

She doesn't love her exersaucer anymore because she wants to be on the go!

She will sit in her crib and play, play, play!

She hugs her stuffed animals when you hand them to her!

We took MC to the beach this month and she loved the sand. I didn't think she would at all! The ocean water was still cold but she loved the pool water. She also loves people watching in restaurants! :)

She has become a little wary of strangers and will usually just stare when they talk to her now. Every now and then she will burst into tears. :( She just loves her family and friends! 

Molly Caroline you are the best baby! You are easy and observant and adorable! You are smart and a little bit sassy! You are are biggest blessing ever! 

May

It's May! I can't believe it...the past two years have flown by. I love this quote about May. It seems very fitting! "The Worlds favorite season is the Spring. All things seem possible in May."

And the beginning of May always stirs up a roller coaster of emotions. For one, it's the last month of school. Last year on this weekend all of my family and friends came to Thomasville and helped shower Molly Caroline with gifts. It was the best weekend ever! I also got put on bed rest near the middle of May and had lots of time to think. :) The year before on this Friday I found out I had miscarried and was getting prepped for surgery. This weekend I have a precious 11 month old baby girl!

Our May has started out with lots of fun! We watched the Derby, splashed in the kiddie pool, and Matt put up some shutters! 

Plus it's birthday party prep month!
