Molly ~ 18 Months Old
EIGHTEEN MONTHS?
A year and a half old?
Are you serious?
Goodness, Molly is growing sooooo fast. And it's soooo fun! This month was again full of fun and exciting things. Molly continues to increase her vocabulary. She says lots of two word phrases and a few three word phrases, such as "I get it" and "I see you".
She's a bit of a show-off when she realizes she has a crowd. When we went for her well check last week, she turned on the charm with her doctor! She was running in circles, giggling and chattering away to Dr. Jason! Again last night with my Memommie, she showed off all her new tricks and laughed and laughed!
Molly also decided in the last two weeks she doesn't need to sit in her chair at the table; rather, she sits in a regular chair with no booster. I couldn't figure out why she suddenly decided to do this. Then, it dawned on me that her class at MMO had moved to a new room with chairs and tables rather than the table with build in chairs. I'm sure since she's learning to sit in a chair like a big girl at church she is convinced she can do it here. It's quite funny watching her eat as she can't really see her food, but she reaches as high as she can! And she's eating, so we're not going to complain!
Molly's surely a Daddy's girl, too. We watch him leave every morning, and usually within about twenty minutes she's standing at the window asking for "dah-dee". She'll "call" him on her phone numerous times during the day. And late in the afternoon she'll start standing at the window every few minutes searching for him.
Still a great sleeper, Molly loves her night time routine. As a family, we take her into her bedroom and say our night time prayers. Should I get too long winded, she'll cut me off mid-prayer with a hearty "ah-meen"!
Life continues to get better and better with Molly. I say it all the time, and I'll say it again: each day is better than the day before, and I always think my heart can't take more joy. But it gets better and better! Thankful beyond measure for Molly Miller!
Happy 18 Months, precious one! Your Mommy and Daddy love you beyond measure!

Christmas Pageant
My friend Amy hosts a Christmas Pageant each year, and this year Molly was asked to be a part of the play. It's such a precious production, and the kids are so cute! There is just nothing like children singing praises to their King. Watching these children reenact our Savior's birth was such a blessing! Getting a group shot is always - ALWAYS - interesting! Molly was a horse, but she refused to wear her top by this point. Lillie the pig was DONE as well. These pictures are priceless to me, though!
The kids had speaking parts and sang songs. There are just no words to describe how precious it was!
Molly, the horse, was making her way through Bethlehem before the play started.... And yes, the costume is technically a lion costume. It's all about imagination, ya know?!?

We tried to get a picture of the whole costume. . .
But it didn't work out too well! Ha!!
The audience was full of parents, grandparents, and aunts. We looked like paparazzi, didn't we?!
After the pageant, we enjoyed a pot luck supper that was super yummy! The food and fellowship were almost as good as the play. Almost.
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
