Molly is now in the big girl bed....

We took the crib down today and put up the big girl bed in Molly's room today.  Thankfully my parents and Chuck were here to help as it was process.  To make the change we had to rearrange the house and clear out the larger upstairs bedroom, which will eventually be Molly's, so we could take delivery on some new furniture.  All this juggling is happening because Molly is attempting to climb out of the crib and because we are expecting a new addition in late October!  The fact that I am pregnant is still sinking in but we are very excited to have another baby!  Molly does not understand the baby thing but we are working on that, she came to the 12 week ultrasound but I don't think that the black and white image did anything to convince her she would be a big sister.  The kids will be a couple months shy of three years apart which will hopefully be good spacing for them and allow us to preserve some sanity. 

This pregnancy has been similar to my first so far, in the first few weeks I was pretty tired and had some "morning sickness" in the evenings.  However, I don't have much time for the fatigue this time around with Molly as active as she is right now.  The baby bump has definitely made its initial appearance now which is much earlier then it did with Molly but all is well so far.

Molly is growing very quickly and her verbal skills are developing quickly.  This weekend she began tell us to "Get out my room" and saying "how about a baseball game".  My parents have been here a couple times this month and we have tagged along to two baseball games so far this season.  The first game we attended my dad got some great front row tickets that had all of us, Molly included, memorized for the duration of the game.  I think the game has made its impression on Molly because she is even happy watching a couple innings on TV and LOVES to go in person.

Easter pictures will follow shortly (gotta go make an attempt to put Molly down in her new bed).

Molly is now really enjoying going "potty on the potty" and is wanting to go more and more frequently.  These days she will stop and remove her diaper to go to the potty all alone.  If Jake or I try to provide assistance we get scolded and told "I will do it!". 

Molly also LOVES the bath and will readily undress herself to get in.  She is all smiles while the bath goes on and sometimes it takes awhile to get her out even if the water is gone.
