Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was nice, Sarah made a stuffed Turkey breast instead of a whole turkey and we had a good meal. Molly was sick and slept a lot, and by the end of the day Nathan was sick too.

Nathan and Molly sat in misery together. We had to take a picture because Molly never sits with us like this! She is not known for being cuddly so we have to enjoy it when it comes...even if it is because she is sick.

Lauren and Dusty

Sarah's cousin Lauren and her husband Dusty and their daughter Ella came to visit. Well the truth is, they came so Dusty could do an interview with OHSU to see if he wanted to do his neuro-surgery residency here. (He's really smart!) But we lucked out because they stayed with us for a few days. We had a great time with them!

Molly loved Ella!

Ella is the sweetest little girl. She was so much fun!

We bundled Molly up, because you know we had to take them to Multnomah falls!

Actually they were the ones that said they wouldn't feel like it was an official visit if they didn't go! We really enjoyed spending time with them. They are such an easy family to be around!

Molly crawls!

Molly has kinda figured out how to crawl (finally!). The bait? She loves to knock over block towers, so we built her some to crawl to and knock over. This video has three different clips of her crawling.

Family Pictures

So we took some family pictures on Saturday and Molly was a little less than cooperative. We did get some fun pictures, but most of our time was spent trying to get Molly to stop crying. It was such a different person than the little "ham" she usually is for the camera. Oh well!

I was trying to reason with her, but she wasn't really interested

Our fail proof way of getting Molly to smile is when Nathan dances with her.

We tried many times, but when we would all turn to face the camera, her face would go blank.

Still working on it!

She's still not crawling correctly. The good news is that she doesn't just push herself backwards now, she actually crawls backwards. We spend a good amount of time pulling her our from under the couch or coffee table! Hopefully she will figure it out!

Sarah's Aunt sent Molly this cute little stool with her name in puzzle pieces!
Molly really liked it. You can see she is quite fascinated with her tongue too!
