Busy days

We have been very busy lately. I can barely believe spring is here and our little girl is almost 5 months old! The time goes by so fast. We have been busy going for walks around the block. Molly went on her first big girl walk, facing forward in the carriage! At first she wasn't quite sure about it but once we started moving she was fine. We also went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New Haven. Doesn't she make a great Red Sox fan?

We have also been busy going to Gymboree and a variety of events with others moms I've met on meetup.com. It's a lot of fun, and finally feel like I'm meeting more people around here with babies around Molly's age.

Oh, we also got a new dryer. It works so well! I can actually get all the laundry done in one day! And I am getting over an upper respiratory infection, yuck. But this is really the first time I have been sick all winter. Molly just looks at me all confused when I cough.

Just about time to watch Grey's Anatomy, hoping Molly will stay sleeping.....

Dryer almost caught on fire!

I know they always say to never run your washer, dryer, dish washer, etc. when you aren't home....well make sure you don't!!! I usually don't, but there are always those times when you're running from place to place and trying to get laundry done at the same time. Fortunately I was home today. I was just finishing feeding Molly when all of a sudden I felt like I smelled smoke. So I poked my head down stairs and didn't see any flames but defintely more smoke. I go down and stop the dryer, and apparently a few bibs, washclothes, and burp clothes got stuck in the back. A few are completely charred. There was no actual fire it doesn't seem, but who knows how much longer until one started. Very scary. Thank goodness I did most of the laundry over the weekend. Looks like we are finally going to get that new dryer we need!

What a week

This was the beginning of the week.....

And this was the end.....

The snow was beautiful, Molly had some fun for a few minutes. At least we got to use her snowsuit for a little while. Winter isn't over yet though, I'd say there is at least one good storm left.

Meanwhile, we are preparing for our beach trip to Hilton Head. Molly is just about ready to go!

We had her 4 month checkup on Friday. She grew so much! She is now 12 lb 9 oz, which is a 3 lb gain since the 2 month appointment. She also grew 2 more inches, so she's 23 3/4". She's getting so big! She had a whole bunch of shots again, but wasn't nearly as fussy as last time. She took a nice nap in the afternoon but didn't miss any feedings. She was still a little fussy on Saturday, she wasn't her normal happy self. But she was better again by Sunday and finally learned how to jump in her jumperoo.

Well, it seems like she is awake from her nap.
