What I Love about Sundays

This morning when my alarm went off, the radio was playing that song by Craig Morgan (I think he is the one who sings it:) What I Love about Sundays . . . and it got me thinking.....

What Meaghan Loves about Sundays:

* The look on Molly's face when I am there when she wakes up in the morning
* The car ride to church
* How cute the kiddos look when they are clean and dressed for church (esp David in his
white shirt and tie! adorable!)
*Feeling the peace the Spirit brings during Sacrament Meeting . . . . . .
and then realizing Molly has escaped and is screaming "Weeeee!" as she runs around the pews.
*Singing during Primary
* Getting to snuggle a sleeping baby
* Seeing how much Molly loves nursery, her new teacher, and new friends
* After Church NAPS for everyone!
* Spending a lazy afternoon as a family, making dinner together and hanging out.

The worst part about Sunday is that it has to end.
Real life resumes, back to work and back to the crazyness of the Monday - Friday routine.
I love everything about Sundays

Bubbles!!!

For Molly's birthday this year we bought her a bubble machine! Laziness on our part because we were tired of blowing them for her. . . . :) Anyways - I finally snapped a few pictures of her playing in them and of David watching his crazy sister!




Molly is trying to whack all the bubbles with a ginormous glue stick ..... on a side note - I'm not sure I have ever used a glue gun that big, mine is a teeny one don't know where it came from! Anyways the challenge is making sure David doesn't get accidentally whacked while Molly is aiming for bubbles!




There for awhile I would wonder if Molly would ever decide that she actually likes David. Amazingly - she has! She loves her "Baby David"! She will sit and play with him - rush to comfort him and make him smile when he is sad! She even likes to try and feed him his baby snacks! He loves her too - I think he is always amazed at her running around and laughing! He finds her very entertaining!

Little Artist

I found my old acrylic paints and canvas (back from my days of working at Michael's!) when we moved and I decided to let Molly paint a picture for her room!

She took the painting very seriously - telling me which colors she wanted to use and where to squirt it on the paper plate! She was very proud of her masterpiece!

Summer Fun

It's been a busy summer so far! We've [finally] gotten into our new apartment and love it! The weeks go by so fast and I can't believe how big Molly and David are getting!

On the 14th Molly had her very first trip to the dentist! We'd been practicing saying "Ahh" for about 2 weeks and having Molly let me look in her mouth and guess what?! She still had a meltdown the second our doctor tried to look at her teeth .... hopefully in 6 months it will be better! She did enjoy the stickers though!




Unlike his big sister, David really enjoys his tummy time! I know before too long he will be crawling and we will wish that he was still immobile :) It is wonderful to watch him growing and trying to learn new skills! He is getting to be a big boy - I try to compare him to other babies his age and he is always bigger, still hoping he will be tall like his daddy! He has such a sweet little personality. He wants to be held and snuggled. It is very easy to get him to laugh - Molly loves to make him smile and they will entertain each other for minutes (ha ha) on end!



We've started letting Molly and David bathe together and they love it! Molly likes to boss David around and tell him to stop splashing and to not make a mess (Don't know where she would have heard that?!) We definitely have two little water babies - They love the bath and the complex's swimming pool - Molly asks to go "Fwimming" every day. David really enjoys the water too!

May

So much has been happening lately I am having a hard time keeping it all straight!

We started David on food and (big surprise here) he LOVES it! Ha ha I can't spoon it into his mouth fast enough! We haven't found anything he doesn't like! :) He is getting to be a big guy - 4 1/2 months old and last night I put him into a 6-9 month sleeper! It fit in the length and width! If we're lucky he'll be tall like his daddy!

He really is a very happy little guy - when I get up in the morning David and I "hang out" so Jamon can sleep in. He will just coo and laugh all morning! I love it! Molly never was much of a "talker" at this age!






Molly is still the very busy and sweet little girl she has always been! She has decided that her favorite color is blue. All day I hear "want BLUE blanket (or cup/plate/yogurt/crayon/or whatever) Sadly, since Molly is a girl, she doesn't have many things that are blue. The good thing is that Molly doesn't actually know what the color blue is! Molly that IS your blue cup [as I hand her the green or orange cup. . . . ] Poor girl is going to be so confused when she gets to school!

I'm amazed at how much she has started talking lately! Little kids are so smart! She sings songs with us at bed-time and knows most of the words. She likes to "read" her books too!
