Updates and Outtakes

Hello everyone! It's hard to believe, but Molly is now over 3 weeks old! We've taken a bunch of pictures in the last few weeks, and we thought that we'd share some more of them.
Before you begin, we'd just like to warn you that there are a lot of pictures on this posting. If you get bored of the plethora of pictures, click the little red "X" in the top-right-hand corner of your screen at any time.
While we think that Molly is always cute, we realize that sometimes love is blind. Along with the pictures that we think are cute, we've also posted a few "outtake" pictures to show Molly's non-photogenic side :-)

Molly has a blocked tear duct in her left eye. While this isn't a big deal, it got infected enough to seal her eye shut once the eye "gunk" dried. We affectionately call this one "Quasimodo."

Quasimodo after some assistance in opening her eye.

Thank you Aunt Lauren for the New Zealand onesie!

Tibu, Molly and Nathan


Outtake or update...you decide (she used to do this a lot, but in the recent week she's gotten a lot better at not doing so).


Our little girl looking like a girl.

Aunt Rachel and Aunt Christie combined their names and decided that Molly should be named "Ristel." They made her this onesie before she was born.



We think that Molly kinda looks like a Saint Bernard puppy in this picture.


Superbaby! (well, sorta...she did hold this position on her own for a second or two)

Here we are as a family

Tax deduction? Yes. But we're finding that she'll definitely cost us more than what we'll save.


Molly has a neat trick that she likes to do sometimes. While she sleeps, she somehow removes her legs from the PJ leggings and puts her feet together at the crotch of her PJs--leaving her leggings completely empty. We try to persuade her use the PJ leggings, but she doesn't agree that it's a good idea.

Molly's first time in a dress.

Well, we're impressed if you made it this far.

We hope you're all doing well.

What a cutie! It looks like you guys are having a great time with her already. We miss you guys and hope we can see you sometime before Molly is all grown up.

Sorry- I noticed a typo in my last comment and had to delete it-- but basically it said-- Molly is SOOO CUTE! Keep posting the pics!

I can't believe how much older Molly looks in just one week! Course I guess she is half again older than the last time I saw her. She is definately our cutest grandchild so far! :) When you have a minute would you e-mail the second picture from today's blog and the super baby shot... I want to print them up to add to our photo album here. We love you all. Take good care of each other.

OH MY GOSH I NEED TO CALL YOU, BUT I DON'T HAVE YOUR NUMBER!! (I never saved it! I'm SO bad at saving numbers!) So if you want to call me (if you have the time, that is) PLEASE CALL ME! In the meantime, I'll try emailing you to get your number...

Molly is so adorable, Sarah. And I love your family pictures towards the end - such a beautiful, happy family! I thought to myself "This is just how it should be." You two were meant to be together, and Molly was meant to come into your lives at this time, and it's just so wonderful!

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO CALL YOU TO GET MORE UPDATES!! love and miss you!

What a cool surprise! That was the funnest blog visit ever. Lose track of you for a year and you go off and have a baby! That's so exciting! I can't wait to hear all about it. Molly is the cuttest tax deduction I've ever seen.
