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):

Baby Faces

Here's a quick video of Megan:

Couch

Post 7/31/10 7:00PM

Here's something fun: Pull the cushions off the couch and create your own personal trampoline. For the record, it was her Mother that was allowing this...

Eyes Shut

Molly has been squeezing her eyes shut while on the swing.  Just enjoying the wind through her hair I guess...

Jonses

Brooke brought Nolan and Rhea to visit with the girls.

Molly is always happy to romp around with other kids.

Stay Tuned

Here are a few cute pics that Colleen took:

Coloring

A sneak preview into what they will be doing together.

Big Sister Little Sister

Molly and Megan have a lot of cute outfits. A few of them say big sister or little sister.

Here it looks like Molly is telling a secret (a bit of a camera trick).







Little sister.

Matching outfits.

Happy Birthday Joseph

We went to the Bouncin Party Zone for a birthday party.  Molly had a blast!  There was an obstacle course, slide and bounce house for her to play in.  There were also a lot of kids for her to interact with.

Here's a few pictures from the event:

Happy Birthday Tim

We went to a Cracker Barrel to celebrate and give a few gifts.

Molly and Calvin had fun climbing the rocking chairs

I guess so did everyone else.

Megan enjoying the sights.

Backyard Fun

Bubbles and sprinklers are happiness to this kid.

Through Her Eyes

Maybe a little peek into the world through Molly's eyes.

Playing With Barney

Quick vid of Molly playing with Barney.  They're both having fun!

Sisters

How are the sisters? They LOVE each other. Megan stares at Molly and is always interested in what she does. Molly gives Megan kisses as often as she can.

Molly loves to hold Megan and rock her. We are trying to teach her "gentle" and "slow".

They are good buddies already!

Bye Bye

Here's Molly and Colleen having fun.

Nicole Nahodil

We all went over to Nicole's house to wish her a happy birthday and to let Megan play in the bounce house in the back yard.

Kayla was helping show Molly how to bounce.

Molly and Calvin

We went up to the park to play on the swings and slides.  These two sure have fun together!

Pigtails

Colleen went to the mall with both kids. She is much braver than I am, but she said it was pretty easy.  Here's Molly at the play area with her pigtails.

Happy Birthday Brooke

We helped Brooke Kniola celebrate her second birthday.  Lots of food, cake, and presents.

I should also mention that it was over 90º that day!  The adults found shade and the kids got into their suits and played in the little swimming pool they had set up.  We all had a great time.

Here are a few pictures from the event.  You can get to the slideshow link by clicking here.

Water Park

Colleen, Molly, Kathy, and Calvin went to the Westland H2O Splash Zone at the rec center.  This meant that Tim and Nancy got to babysit Megan for the first time.  They were really excited to get her all to themselves!  Here are a few photos of the day and a video at the end:
