THEY STILL LOVE HER!

Two months later and they still love their little sister. Rachel and Lucas love to hold Molly. I can actually use Molly as a way to get Lucas to stop crying by offering to let him hold her. He loves it!

I thought this was so cute! Zackery read this whole book to Molly all by his self.

MISS MOLLY

Molly is 2 months old now. She has outgrown most of her newborn clothes and is starting to smile and make cute little newborn sounds. She loves to make eye contact and give a big smile to whoever is holding her. Now she just needs to get her sleeping schedule figured out.

At 2 months old she weighs 11 lbs even which is in the 53% and she is 22 and 3/4 inches long which is in the 64%. And of course her head is still tiny and comes in at the 11%. We love our little Miss Molly. I am pretty sure this yawn was a big fake. Most likely she was up all night!
This is Molly's cousin Emmett on his blessing day. He is just two days older than her but about two pounds heavier than her.

I love love love this little lady so much! I can't get enough of this cute smile!

MOLLY

A few weeks ago I took some pictures of Molly and I think they turned out pretty cute. She slept through most of it but I did get a few good ones with her eyes open. I think I took over 50 pictures trying to get the perfect one. These are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

MY SICKLY CHILD

Lucas picked up a nasty eye infection from somewhere. It is sad to see him try so hard to open his eyes but he just can't do it. We have him on antibiotics now so hopefully he will start to look better. And so far nobody else has gotten it and I am hoping it stays that way. Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 3 after a good cleaning in the bath.

I especially love the goobers coming out of his nose.

Day 4 (today)

Rachel let him out of his room this morning and was trying to get him to come find me and Dave but poor little guy couldn't even see where he was going.

Crossing our finger that he won't look like this when he wakes up tomorrow.

BUMP ON THE HEAD

Being one of my children, Lucas is very familiar with bumps on the head. He hasn't learned his lesson yet and continues to climb and fall and climb and fall and so on. I was laying on the floor trying to take a nap so I am not exactily sure how this happened (miss Molly makes me a little tired these days). Something to do with the couch, the wall, and the small space in between. Unfortunately he has many more bumps to come so he better get used to it. Poor guy.

TWO WEEKS GONE BY

Two weeks ago today I came home from the hospital and the kids had made me these signs with Grandma Bytheway. They were a little sad that I didn't have Molly with me but they were all super excited when I came hom with her the next morning.
I think the doll might be as big as Molly.

Being home meant we had to use this lovely bed of lights. Luckily it was only for a few days because she did not sleep well on this bed which meant I did not sleep well. After having her biliruben (?) levels checked twice, we were done.

Lucas loves to hold Molly.

When she is awake she is very wide eyed.

Her first bath at home. Surprisingly she didn't seem to mind.

I was trying to get a picture of her cute lashes but they are so light you can hardly see them.

And here she is at two weeks old. She has already changed so much.

When I took her in for her two week check up she weighed in at 7 lbs 5 oz which is the 19% and she had grown an inch in length so at 20 inches she was in the 38% in height. Her head on the other hand is quite small, coming in at the 9%. Which is why none of her head bands fit yet. Oh well. She is so cute I love to just stare at her. We are still adjusting to having a newborn. But we all love her. The house on the other hand, looks like a tornado comes through everyday. When we get one thing cleaned up, something else is a mess. I guess as long as everybody is happy then its okay.

RACHEL

Rachel did this.

And then did this.

I hope she doesn't think this will get her out of cleaning it all up.

Mom and Molly. It was nice to be able to hold her right after she was born.

Dad and his baby girl.

Dave brought all of the kids in the next day to meet their new sister. Lucas just kept pointing at her and jabbering. Every time I tried to move her away he would grab onto the blankets and pull her back down so he could keep looking and pointing at her.

Rachel was so excited to hold Molly. Before Molly was born, Rachel wanted to name her Lollipop. Since we didn't do Lollipop, Rachel has nick named her Molly-Lolli-Pop.

Preston only wanted to hold her for a second and then he was off to find more exciting things to do.

Zack and Jackson couldn't wait to hold her. They are such good big brothers.

As everyone was sitting on my bed and then when I looked at the picture later I thought "Holy cow! We have A LOT of people in our family!"

This is what Zack, Preston, and Rachel did for entertainment when they weren't holding Molly. And Lucas kept wrapping himself up in the curtain by the door way.

Apparently we are raising a bunch of Monkey's!

Love her to pieces. I am so greatful to have this little piece of heaven with us. She is absolutely perfect in every way!

Hanging out under the lights.

She wears a little cover over her eyes while she is under the lights so she still looks pretty yellow around her eyes. Another day or two with the lights at home and she should be good.
