Molly learned a new word today: rain. I’m so tickled by that. It’s like when she learned “moon” ages ago. Moon, by the way, refers not only to the mystical orb of Goddessiness orbiting Our Mother Earth but also to the dome light in the car, and occasionally to random streetlights Her “rain” is [...]

ladies and gentlemen, we have a new word
October 29, 2007 – 12:57 pm
She says “chocolate”! Well, “gock-lit.” This is yummy chocolate whipped yogurt, which has so much fat and protein, I’ve decided to overlook the HFCS When we finish a cup, I look like this too, because she feeds me the last third or so. This might be my favorite word yet.
the birthday photo extravaganza

The cookout, featuring Molly’s sunscreen faux-hawk.
The All Gone gesture followed by patty-cake, in dress too girly for words. Le cake. She was so dainty. Must have been the froufrou dress.
And then there was a itty booboo.
one.

She’s one today. I’m on a seesaw of emotions. I was giddy at 7am when Bu woke us up with off key Happy Birthday. At 9am on the way to work I was a snot & tear covered mess, shocked at the date, how time has been meaningless for a year. Months whirled by with [...]
cake, cloth & moons

The cake is going to be one of those photo cakes from a bakery. I’m all about it- I get to design something- squee! (I’ll still bake the carrot cake for mass consumption by diabetics, babies, and mommies who are suddenly motivated to be less chunkalunk.) Here is the design for the full on sugary [...]
the end of the world as we know it

Oh fuck. She can climb. Suddenly and without warning she mastered climbing into a chair, and then onto the arms of the chair where she is perilously high. Fabulous. Now our baby proof zone is a base jumping park for extreme baby sports.
I hope the monkey girl has worn herself out. We have not [...]
i’m not procrastinating; it’s a warm-up exercise!

Ah, the mythical Mollytooth. A sometimes dangerous entity, it is coy at the best of times- but in the presence of a camera it is particularly elusive. This adventurous camerawoman had been immersed in the creature’s habitat for a month and had yet to capture the subject of her study. This fortuitous spring morning, [...]
first steps
March 15, 2007 – 12:05 am
Despite two weeks of crying after my short, unpaid maternity leave about just such an event, I survived missing Molly’s first steps while I was at the clinic. Bu witnessed, so that made it totally alright. There were about 4 total. Two this morning from Bu to Papaw in our living room, then one more [...]

So, I freaked out on Bu last night because he wouldn’t let me go visit Molly at midnight at the grandies’ to see the new tooth. Mamaw called in the middle of the party to tell us about the discovery. Yes, the tooth would still be there as Bu and a friend eventually convinced me, [...]

I’m going to link to this from my sidebar, and add to it as needed. It’s mostly self-indulgent but if you’d like to peek back to see what new amazing powers the Mollybird has gained feel welcome. If I can ever figure out how, I’ll backdate it to her birthday which was the original plan. [...]
