Molly ~ 21 Months Old


Molly is 21 months old today!  Before we turn around good, we'll be celebrating her second birthday.  And I simply cannot believe it.

Every day brings something new with Molly.  She's consistently talking in 3 (sometimes 4) word sentences, and she's getting more and more independent by the minute.  Oh help us!?!?  **I completely forgot to include my favorite thing Molly is saying now!  Whenever you give her something, she says, "taint chu"!  LOVE it!**

Molly loves to watch "Bah-nee at Zoo" these days.  That movie tops "Bible" (God Made Me) and "Baby" (Praise Baby) as her favorite.  She also loves to go to her Lovie's house and watch "E-mo Babies" (Elmo). 

Molly also loves to be outside, and we know anytime we're outdoors playing, it'll be a struggle to get her back inside.  She simply loves to be out there!  Between wagon rides, playing "ball" with Belle, looking for fish in the lake and "fwinging", she keeps us hopping outdoors. 

Ellie is definitely Molly's best friend.  They have the best time together, and I still believe there is nothing greater than for our home to be filled with squeals and laughter of those two girls.  Up until this last week, I had never heard Molly tell Ellie "no".  Any time Ellie recommends they do anything, Molly always agrees.  If Molly doesn't want to do what Ellie suggests, Molly simply ignores her.  Just in the last few days have I heard Molly actually tell Ellie "No!"  and Ellie didn't know what to do!  Too funny!

Molly still sucks her two middle fingers pretty much all the time.  She also sticks her pointer finger of her other hand in her ear.  This drives my mom nuts.  Momma told Molly the other day, "I don't like when you stick your finger in your ear, Molly.  It worries Lovie."  Molly is getting over yet another ear infection, so when she fiddles with her ear, it worries all of us.  Molly turned to Mom and said, "It not hurtin'."  :) 

Our favorite time of day is the evening after Tim gets home from work.  Molly gets so excited to see her Daddy!  She'll lay on the floor and say, "tiddle me, dadee" asking Tim to tickle her.  She has the heartiest belly laugh when he "tiddles" her!  Pure joy!

Yep, life is good.  We are blown away with how blessed we are.  Tim and I were just talking about that this weekend.  God continues to bless our socks off, and we're overwhelmed with gratitude that He has entrusted Molly to us!

She is just too sweet! I loved this post. I love to read about how much joy she brings to your life. It always reminds me of my mom and how much I always knew she loved me. Truly that is the most precious thing in the world - the love a momma has for her daughter. :)

I can't believe she's 21 months! Time sure flies. Love that she is talking so much! My boys didn't talk much until they were 2. She is such a cutie!!
