[...] news of the week – Violet has plumped up nicely in the last six weeks! You may recall in my last update on Violet we were a little concerned about her weight gain (or lack there of), so we stepped up nursing, [...]

[...] kick lately. I read at KellyMom that oatmeal can help to increase milk supply, so I figured with Violet’s weight gain issues, I might as well give it a try. Don’t really know if it’s helping, but I am realizing [...]

[...] For awhile, almost everything she said ended with “Mama” and that was very sweet. But now just a few weeks later, she is really talking. I couldn’t possibly list all her sentences anymore. She repeats everything she hears. She is definitely a girl who knows what she wants and we hear “I do dat.” and “I no want.” a lot, but her most frequent question lately is “What do Daddy?” (what are you doing) followed by “Why?” and “Why?” and – well I think you get the idea. She is a very curious little gal and has been known to lay flat on the floor to get a good look at something. JR says she may not be the smartest one, but she will be the most like him – I definitely see a resemblance (and smarts is one of them)! In fact, it is rare that I serve Molly something to eat that I know JR doesn’t like and she actually eats it (and when I’m doing this, JR is usually nowhere around). They have this unspoken understanding about things. Oh, and Molly can sing, too. So far, she’s gotten really good at the ABCs & Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but she will frequently chime in with the last word or two in a phrase when Livy is singing as well. She is also trying to count and just tonight she counted all the way to 10!! That seems pretty advanced to me. She still loves playing with baby dolls & is just adorable when she is shhhing them to sleep and then lying them down in her bed – complete with a blanket to cover them up! Molly LOVES animals, and really enjoys Curious George books – or “Georsh” as she calls him. For now, Molly is mostly just Molly, but we also use Smallz, Mollz, & I’m thinking Molly Jo will eventually take off. I also refer to her as Ms. Piggy to go with my Piglet. [...]

My goodness, I can’t believe that she is 9 months old already! Seems like just yesterday I was checking your blog every two minutes to see if she had arrived. Time has passed so quickly!
