HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!
Molly had her birthday on Friday, and we are now officially the proud owners of a two-year-old! Its hard to believe that two years have gone by already. She grew up so fast. It didn't help that she couldn't wait to do it. She is fiercely independent, and is determined to do everything by herself. She started potting training herself 4 months ago, and gets really upset if you try and do anything for her that she thinks she can do herself. Those fits can set us back a good 20 minutes, so I usually play along. She is not super cuddly, but she is very affectionate. She loves to sit next to me with a little arm around my neck. She is also a big helper. She loves to help Mommy clean up, and unload the dishwasher. She also thinks she is quite the comedian, and is constantly cracking herself up. She is learning new words every day. Although if I ask her if she can say any specific word, she will always tell me "no". She loves baby dolls, Dora, and Elmo. She is such a joy to be around, and she is always happy. Molly, you have been such a blessing in our lives, and we love you so very very much! Happy birthday Moosie!!

I can't believe she is TWO!!! WOW... that picture is BEAUTIFUL! You should enter your girls in the Shabby Apple contest for the next shabby princess.

Wow, I can't believe she's 2! And your description of her "independent-ness" and wanting to grow up sounds a lot like how I was when I was little -- maybe it has to do with the fact that I have an older sister who I wanted to copy and so does she!? :) Cute picture by the way!

Hey Aub!! Your girls are beautiful, of course. You look great! How's Ohio? Is that where you are still? I saw your parents blog too, they look like they are having fun. Isaac looks kinda like Alex, his hair got dark! Time flies! Any trips out west planned?
