Molly 2.5

Molly is two and half! Boy, is she learning and growing so much everyday! She makes being a mom so much fun! I'm not sure why they call it the terrible two's because I love hanging out with this 2 year old!


Lately, Molly:

  • Wears size 3T clothes and 8 shoes
  • Is daytime potty-trained! Though she still has a couple accidents a week because she'd rather play than go sit on the potty.
  • Still sleeps great at night, and is starting to not move around and fall out of bed so much
  • Loves books. She will read them or be read to all day long
  • Likes to go on walks with Mommy and Carson especially if they end at a park
  • Has so much energy! She likes to run and dance and spin.. it makes me tired just watching her
  • Can put her underwear, pants, socks and shoes on by herself... we're still working on shirts
  • Loves to take baths with Carson and showers with Mommy or Daddy
  • Likes getting her hair done and will often tell me how she wants it done.  She also tells us often that she wants hair like Rapunzel
  • Can count to 50 with a little help and can memorize songs super fast!
  • Is obsessed with princesses these days.. she watches a Disney princess medley on YouTube and can name all the princesses and knows what song each of them sing
  • Her favorite toys are puzzles, dollhouse, and dress up clothes
  • Is becoming a bossy big sister and tells Carson things like "That's not a toy", "That's not yours" and "Don't touch me" at least once a day
  • Is pretty obedient except when she's tired or hungry
  • Says her own prayers, and they usually go like this..."Heavenly Father, grateful day, thankful blessings, seed and plants and shirts and pants, please bless mommy daddy Molly Carson (sometimes grandma and grandpa and some aunts in there), obey, Jesus, AAAAAMEN!"
  • Loves nursery now and always tells us about who was sad and crying during nursery.  She is always concerned when people are sad.  She often tells me "I want you to be happy" if I act aggravated or tired
  • Sleeps with 3 books and a couple stuffed animals in bed with stars shining on the ceiling from her humidifier
  • Likes to put her baby dolls to sleep but rocking them and ssshhh-ing and swaddling them
  • Plays the piano and makes up songs that are ADORABLE!
  • Is in a let-me-do-everything-by-myself stage so everything take a million times longer then it should
  • Loves being outside and has started to like going hiking!
  • Her favorite foods are dinosaur chicken nuggets, pizza, noodles, any kind of fruit, peas, corn, and smoothies
  • Loves going out to eat and she will be very good if we bribe her with "we can go to a restaurant if..."
  • No longer takes a nap (unless we're in the car), but will lay in bed for about 40 mins reading books for "rest time".
  • Has started to say "I love you" without being prompted which melts my heart!
  • Loves to go with me to get Carson when he wake up from his nap
  • Will do exactly what you tell her to do if you tell her it's a race (Like go upstairs, clean up your toys, get in the car..)
  • Loves to color! And is getting a little more creative with her coloring, but still can't make anything but scribbles
  • Is so sweet, and I really cannot imagine life without my caring, smart, crazy little Molly.

Carson: Month 5

My baby boy is 5 months old! I can't believe how fast he is growing!








This month Carson:
  • Wears mostly 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers
  • Weighs about 19 pounds!
  • Is sleeping through the night like a champ! He sleeps from about 7:30pm to 7:00am and will usually wake about 2 times a night for his pacifier but goes back to sleep pretty fast
  • Can roll over both ways, but rarely does it... though he likes hanging out and sleeping on his side
  • Has been having rice cereal for about 2 weeks and is getting the hang of eating from a spoon
  • Drinks 4 bottles a day but is super inconsistent about how much he drinks so we waste a lot of formula
  • Loves being in a sitting position but is not even close to doing it himself
  • Could watch his sister all day long
  • Is very ticklish and has the cutest laugh!
  • Still drools like crazy, but hasn't got a tooth yet
  • Takes 3 naps a day.. a 2 hour one in the morning and then 2 more about 45 minutes each
  • Sleeps great in his bed, but not so well in the car or stroller
  • Is super happy all the time! Especially when you interact with him.
Here are some other things Carson was up to this month:



















Superbowl!
