Molly, Molly, Molly

 Just a collection of random pictures of Molly.
 The first swimming pool session of the season.  I really need to find a suit for Molly.  (editors note:  I have found not 1, but 2 swimming suits for Molly, I'll get some pictures up pronto...which means sometime before the end of summer)
 I loved this picture of Molly.  It is pretty much how I feel in the morning.  But, I don't believe I'm quite as cute sucking my thumb...
 Look at those eyelashes!  Here's looking at you Maybelline.
 This is the result of some quality time with Dad.  Seems like a good idea, but she is able to escape...
 My attempts at getting a picture of the hand prints on the mirror.  They are so clear as you walk down the hall.  I seldom clean this mirror anyhow, but I really don't want to wash those prints away.
 Why is Molly so happy?
 Because she is on the top bunk and there is nothing you can do about it!!
 Our little daredevil.  The blur indicates the speed at which she was rocking back and forth.  She knows no fear.
Eric and I have had multiple discussions on the topic of how different Molly is from the boys.  Yesterday I think I realized the key difference.  She is much more persistent than the boys.  With Dom and Will I could generally distract them and redirect them to an activity that was more appropriate and generally less dangerous ("Here, jump from the couch instead of the top bunk").  Molly always has her goal in mind.  Even if something else grabs her attention briefly, she will nearly always return to the original thing that she was focused on.  Most recently, she is always intent on taking one of our chairs outside for her own.  Often in order to climb on to the table to retrieve whatever item we had previously confiscated.

Sounds like she takes after her awesome God-mother...just don't let her do any swan dives (we all know what those result in).

Swan dives from a cliff are not the way to get a visit from the tooth fairy. But they do provide stories for first graders who have a loose tooth!
