We're Alive

So, we've had a lot going on and haven't posted for a long time.  When it's been a long time, I get overwhelmed at the thought of trying to catch up and then put it off longer.  Anyway, we're alive and happy.

We've been hanging out with family like crazy and are loving every minute of it!  All the Williams side are in town and it's been a blast.  We spent all of Christmas day with them and had Christmas Eve Eve with my side of the fam.  We love them all and are so lucky to have such great families.  We did these pictures for Jeff's parents for Christmas and put them in frames side by side to spell out love.  We got tears from Susan so I'd say it was successful.
Here's Avery:

 Kaitlyn and Lindsay:

 Molly:

 

Spencer and Carly's baby BOY!  We're super excited for them.  First boy on the Williams side!  Yay!  Carly was such a good sport and let us take a picture of her belly.  She is the cutest pregnant person and due at the end of April.

Merry Christmas!

Molly and Grandpa Williams:

Molly and Grandma Williams:

Amy and Kaitlyn.  So cute.

Molly's mad walking skills:

Best part of Christmas.  Who needs the actual present when you have wrapping paper?

This is Molly's favorite thing to do.  She always has stuff in her hands while she's crawling.  Grandma got her these trucks to crawl around with and she loves them.  She also loves little balls, remotes, cell phones, movies, spoons, etc.  You name it, she'll crawl with it.

 

Kaitlyn and Molly sharing some Cheerios.  I don't know why it's so dark, but whatever.

Molly is a really great helper.  Best.  Helper.  Ever.  She's really good at unloading the dishwasher as we're loading it.

 Her new favorite game is to unroll the toilet paper and shred it.  

EVERYTHING goes in her mouth.  Especially paper.  

She loves the mirror.  Loves it.  If she's cranky, we just put her in front of the mirror and bam!  All better.

Cool new puppets from my parents.

Molls cuddling with her Nonnie.

I love my mom!  She's just super great.

Sir and the babies.  Yes...he needs a hair cut, but he made a GREAT Santa with the real hair and beard.  Cute little Eva, Molly, and Brooklynn.

Molly helping to wrap presents:

Jammin' with Uncle Kyle.

Molly and Crystal.  They love and adore each other.  Crystal is awesome.  She watches Molly twice a week for us and we are SO grateful!  She gave Molly a super cool gumball machine thing and the gumballs are balls.  Molly loves it and can often be found with at least one ball in her hand.

We've been super busy, but are finally getting settled in.  We bought a cute little house in Murray and moved at the beginning of the month.  Molly loves having even more little spaces to get into.
Molly took her first steps on her 10 month birthday.  She's getting braver and it won't be long before she's off on her own.
Jeff is starting nursing school in just a couple of weeks.  Luckily he only has to take one class the first semester so we'll still get to see him for a few more months.
We have house pictures, but I'm all blogged out...even though it's been over a month since we updated.  So those will have to wait.
We had an amazing Christmas and have loved spending so much time with our families.  I have great plans to update more often...we'll see.

9 months

Molly is 9 months and busier than ever.  She really is all over the place and thinks she's the greatest thing ever.  Which, for us, she is.  She LOVES the mirror and waves at herself all the time.

She started clicking her tongue and gets pretty excited about it.  She did it all day on Friday and then in the middle of the night pulled her binky out and started clicking.  Best.  Trick.  Ever.
She also loves chewing on green beans.  She just pulls them off our plates and goes to town.  Jeff got a really funny picture on his phone of her with a green bean just hanging out of her mouth.  

Here she is ready to go to her 9 month check up.

Our little lightweight is 15 lbs. 15 oz. which is the 7th percentile.  She's pretty much hung out in the low percentiles for weight since she was born.  The doctor isn't worried at all because she continues to grow.  She's just tall and skinny.  She's also 27 inches.  Or more.  She wouldn't really straighten out so she either went from being in the 75th percentile at her 6 month appt to the 25th percentile on Friday or the measurements aren't super accurate since babies don't really care to straighten out.  This kid hates laying down.  It's a good ab workout, right?

Playing with daddy in the exam room.  She loved the crinkly paper and crawled back and forth and climbed up on the mirror...then licked the mirror (gross)...then back to crawling and laughing with daddy.

Here she is today.  We just think she's really cute.

This picture KILLS ME!  She looks stoned.  Or something.  I had to post it because it's just funny.

Trick-Or Treat

A little Halloween fun with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Wiser.

The day Molly was born, there were several comments on how long her fingers are.  "Those are piano fingers" was said more often than not.  Well, here she is.  Our little pianist.  Her grandmas would be so proud!

Magical

I love the first snow fall of the season.  It is so magical to me.  Everything looks beautiful.  I don't remember what day we had our first snow fall, but Molly was totally in awe of it.

I'm so excited for next winter when she is big enough to play in the snow!  I do love this age though.  She is so enthralled with everything.  It's so much fun.

A Look Back

Let's go back to September...because I didn't post at all.  Here are some pictures from then.
Sweet baby Eva.  Emily had her third baby on September 18.  So teeny!  So cute.

Here are Sam and Jeff in the car right before we went to see baby Eva.  I love it.

Molly's first time meeting her new cousin.

This is her "Thoroughly Modern Molly" outfit.  Jeff named it that.  I think it's the cutest thing ever.

 

 

Here is Molly just being cute.

And finally hanging out with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Wiser.
