We've been hanging out with Uncle Bri and having a good time.  This was the first night he was here.  


Sleeping on Uncle Bri

Molli is growing and getting sillier everyday.  She is a very happy baby and smiles so much, it's awesome.  Here she is playing and whether she knows it or not, she is doing great hitting her toys!


Conked out

*Videos aren't able to upload for some reason, I will try again later*


I know a lot of the pictures and videos are the same, but Mom said she likes watching them because they are just simply Molli, even if they aren't funny or exciting, so I will continue posting them.  I think they are sweet, but she's definitely even sweeter in person =)






About 5 seconds later it put her to sleep


I read somewhere that babies typically have growth spurts around week 3 and 6...which is were we are now.  She will be 6 weeks old (already!!) tomorrow and she's definitely started her growth spurt.  She is eating more often and sleeping a lot.  The eating has thrown off our groove, but we're dealing with it.  Unfortunately, with more eating, comes more poop...and major poop at that! Behold, the front explosion:


The real treasure was under the clothes...



She is sweet even when she does disgusting things like that!

We've been busy around here!  I started working again, just a little bit.  I've only worked a few hours, but it feels like a lot more just having to get Molli ready and time feedings before I can leave the house.  I'm grateful to have a job that pays far more in two hours than I used to make in a day.  If only there were more hours involved.  Anyway, we had friends in town this week but they left today.  It was great to see them and spend time with people.  I love being with them but maybe it will be nice to not have to leave the house tomorrow if I don't want to!

Because I've been slacking, here are a couple bits of happiness for you...





Silly girl!


Molli loves her uncles.  She also loves spitting up, so this takes care of both the spit up, and also announcing her love for her uncle(s).   (I don't know why this wont show up right side up.)



Speaking of uncles, Myles and I just got a nephew!  Tamara and Nate's baby was born on the 20th- Jackson Bradley Hibberd.  I am in love with him and I've only gotten to see pictures.  He is adorable =)  I can't wait to meet him, or at least Skype with them. 


I know it seems mean, but we were like two minutes away from skyping with my parents and I was trying to keep her awake for it.



Emily and I found a delightful coffee shop this afternoon




I'm exhausted and beyond ready for some good sleep.  I will update with more words in the near future. Peace out

So Brian left Alaska yesterday and my grandpa is in the hospital.  Not a lot of happy things happening for my family.  I feel so bad for everyone up there and really wish I could be there with them.  It's hard being this far away and knowing that my parents are having a hard time.  I want to be there to support them and to cheer them up.  *sigh*

I have a very sweet baby who had another wonderful night last night! She went SEVEN HOURS between feedings!  I'm just amazed by this!  I really hope we are starting to make a habit of this and it's not just a fluke this week.

Russell, Emily and Rob are in town this week and it's so great to have our friends back with us.  We really miss all of them.  It's nice to know that we have friends who can pick right back up where we left off and things aren't awkward even when lots of time passes between visits.

Just for fun, here's a little bit of our morning so far:

This video was about 5 seconds after the first one:



And this one was taken yesterday.  She's such a sweet sleeper!

Sorry it's been a few days! I don't know what we've been so busy with, but it seems like we have been.  Yesterday Jessie came over and practiced with her new camera and took pictures of our little angel...get ready, she's adorable =)  Before Jessie came over Molli was exhausted and got a bad case of the hiccups and tried to sleep through them:


We had an amazing night last night!  Molli only woke up one time last night, and that was 6:45 since she ate last time, then went right back to sleep until 8:00.  It was wonderful and I definitely hope we make a habit out of it!


Some good quality daddy time.  He's a great helper because this pacifier likes to jump out!



This morning we played in the swing, until things got messy.  She's been spitting up a ton lately... I had to change my shirt in the middle of the night last night, and this morning after she puked all over me. Sick!


Due to the mega spit up action, we had bath time.  Molli does great with baths and loves cuddling afterward to get warm.  While we were cuddling this morning, Molli told me that she misses her grandma and grandpa and requested that she wear a special outfit.  We don't have one about Grandpa, so she's wearing "Grandma Makes Me Happy."  Tomorrow she gets to Skype with her Grandma Hand, so she's excited about that too!




Here she's really mellow and about to crash.  It's not a super action filled video, but she's still cute when she's sleepy!

Also, shout out to Brian for leaving a comment on the October 14th post!

Molli and I are trying to go to Bloomington today but it's taking forever to actually move in that direction.  A bath was needed, so I fed her so she'd be calm for bath time, then she puked on her clean self.  She was freezing so I dressed her as quickly as possible  but she got upset with me and thrashed her head around, causing her shirt to get temporarily stuck on her head and in her mouth, which she definitely was not thrilled about.  After such an intense moment she proceeded to projectile vomit directly down my shirt.  Eventually I got myself ready to go but miss Molli decided that instead of going in the carseat, she was desperately hungry...because, you know, she threw up 99% of her previous meal! Good grief.

Myles is in class all day and the battery to his truck is dead so Molli and I are stuck at home for the day.  We've played hard and here's what we ended up with...a very sleepy baby!



Molli spent some time in her swing this afternoon.  This picture was right before the video was taken.  Happy and playing. Then we learned about the dead truck battery so the bow came off and she fell asleep.  Not very exciting around here!  We'll probably go for a walk in a while though.
