Molly Smiles

Molly SmilesWell, I’ll be honest, Molly has been smiling for over a month now (actually, since she was about six weeks old)! I know, I know, how could we let so much time go by without showing you? The truth is that she has been hard to catch on camera and also that we’ve been slow to update the photo album - but you’ll forgive us since we just put up dozens more photos, right? I’m sure you’ll agree that Molly is even more beatiful with a drooly, gummy grin!

At her 2-month checkup, Molly was 23 inches “tall” (75th percentile) and weighed 12 lbs. 10 oz. (90th percentile!) so she is well on her way to being a Gerber baby poster child! She’s started following objects in her line of sight and especially keeping an eye out for her big sister. Livy definitely gets the biggest smiles out of her and also causes some of her most piercing shreiks by doing what we like to call a little “too much.” Usually, Olivia has good intentions, but Molly is not up for wrestling or sharing a water bottle quite yet (this we know from experience). I have noticed in the past week, though, how much Livy enjoys entertaining Molly and how sweetly Molly responds to any attention from her. This baby stage is so rewarding because Molly is all love, all sweetness, and truly delights in the simple gift of a smile.

    Alright. You might remember at the baptism, Grandpa Andrews wasn’t really too anxious to hold Molly. I said, “She’s not ready for me.” Well, now she’s ready. How soon do I get to see her again? From this size to about age 7 is my age to hold, hug, and tease…..then they kind of outgrow me! (It’s tough being a permanent second grader).

    I can’t wait until they start coming up with ideas for things to do together, and you won’t know which one to credit or blame for the results.

    See you soon.
    Love Grandpa Andrews
