Jersey Girls

A couple of Jersey Girls were in town for a visit.  Aimee and Bizzy thought it was a good time for an impromptu visit.

The last time I saw AJ (Bizzy's son) he was not quite walking yet.  Now he's running around with Molly.

We went to the zoo on one of the hottest days of the year.  It wasn't too bad in the morning, but by the time noon rolled around it was 85º and time to go.

AJ looking at turtles (I think).

We spent a lot of time in the polar bear and penguin exhibits since it's nice and cool there.

It was great to have family in town since we all like to get together for food, games and just hanging out together.

Happy Birthday Connor

Connor McDaid turns one!

Time for burgers, cake, and presents.

Molly and Max took a liking to each other.









They chased each other around almost the whole time:

Toe Touches

Molly and Megan were the same age when they started doing this. Here they are in almost exactly the same pose:

Like a Champ

It didn't take long for Megan to really get good at rolling around:

Happy Birthday Niko

We went to Niko's birthday party. He had a bunch of his friends there and played a lot with Molly.

What's the saying about liking the packaging more than the gift?













Molly also discovered Niko's drum set in the basement:

Roll Over

So far she is starting on her back and rolling to her belly.

Dream Cruise

It's Dream Cruise weekend around Woodward Avenue and Ferndale had a bunch of activities downtown.

Molly was really enjoying the band that was playing.

She was having fun dancing:

Even better, I have video of it:

Make Your Own Cupcake

We took Molly to the Pinwheel Bakery in Ferndale where they were letting kids decorate their own cupcakes.

She really had a blast.  There were tons of sprinkles and candies you can put on the cupcake.

Megan also had fun watching what was going on.

Singing

Molly is pretty smart. She might not know all the words, but she knows the important ones!

Long Day

This is what happens when you don't get a good nap earlier in the day...

Little Bounces

Here's Megan just starting to get the hang of the bouncer. I think in a few months she will really get a workout from this thing.

Mess

We got a package in the mail that had some Styrofoam in it. Molly knew exactly what to do. For the record, once again it was her Mother that let this happen:

Toot

Another video of Megan with a funny ending (turn your volume up):
