Happy Birthday, Molly!

Today was both Father's Day and Molly's second birthday!


The birthday girl

We started the day with a special breakfast - Mickey Mouse shaped, blueberry pancakes for Miss Molly, and Daddy chose granola with blueberries on top. We had a good day of church and naps and talking with grandparents (on the phone and Skype) and playing outside, and then homemade pizza for dinner. After dinner we had a little celebration for Molly. Since we already got to celebrate with my family and with Patrick's family on our trip, it was just us, some balloons, and cake and ice cream. It was fun!

The cake!




Elijah ate the frosting and left the cupcake, but did eat his ice cream!


Molly ate everything. Yum!

And she was covered in it!

It was a fun day. Patrick, thanks for sharing your Father's Day this year!

Miss Molly is growing up so fast. She talks all the time, and in full sentences. She wants to be a "struction" truck worker and a mama when she grows up. She loves her baby and loves to play tea party and trains and cars with Elijah. She occasionally wants to sit on the potty, but isn't very serious about potty training yet. We recently reached a milestone - Molly's hair is finally long enough to wear ponytails! She wasn't sure about having things put into her hair at first, but after spending a week with her cousins Piper and Tallie, she thinks her "piggies" are great. I like that we can do something cute with her hair, despite the fact that it's still filling in on top, and she stays a little cooler. She continues to get taller and taller all the time, and some of her cute baby roundness is starting to thin out (just a little bit). Her 2 year visit to the doctor is going to be a little late, so we'll see how tall she is then. She is very silly and loves to make us laugh - her little gap-tooth grin is so cute! We are so blessed to have our little Miss Molly in our family.
