The Big Apple

Adam and I were able to spend about 4 days in September visiting my sister in New York. This was my second trip to the city but my first since Mary Kathryn has been living there. This mini-vaca was Adam's first time to see all the big apple has to offer! I will say that the weather was great, except for the rain. It wasn't hot, it wasn't cold. The rain was annoying since your feet get you everywhere you need to go. Needless to say, packing my rainboots would have been a wise choice.

The first official day of our trip was spent exploring my sister's neighborhood, Park Slope, in Brooklyn. We really enjoyed Brooklyn and preferred it over being in the city. Especially when I considered life with a baby! The rest of our time was spent doing the normal tourist things in the city. One thing is for sure, New York life is a hassle, exhausting, but exhilirating all at the same time!

I know, I know- I look miserable but I was so incredibly cold and wet. We were on the top of a tour bus and it rained more than I have ever seen it rain.

Needless to say, it was a great getaway, but we were very excited to be back to our home, cars and most of all to her.....

Sun

This picture was taken in July by our dear friend, Staci. She is a very talented photographer and snapped this amazing picture even though she was laying right by a ton of bees! She wanted to get this sunlight and it proved to be so pretty! Check out her facebook page- Staci Coston Photography!

Forgive me....

I am welcoming myself back into the blogging world with open arms! I really have no excuse as to why I stopped updating other than I was being lazy. I did feel sometimes that I was spending endless hours uploading pictues and videos onto the web and that nobody was actually reading what I was putting out there. But when I stopped blogging, many of you commented on my outdated posts and deleted background. So with that said, I am back in the game. And this time I am going to remind myself that even if nobody reads what I am blogging about, someday I hope that Mollie will take a slight interest in my work.

Check in often to see adorable pics and funny stories of life at the Harmon house!

PEEK-A-BOO

Everyday when we pick Mollie up from daycare, we sign her out and pick up her "day sheet". The day sheet has everything on it that she ate, when she slept, etc... On Wednesday, her sheet said she played peek a boo with her blanket and loved it. Later that night, Mollie was sitting in Adam's lap where she proceeded to pick up a dish towel and do this....

I know I can and now....

My last post was a video of Mollie attempting to crawl. We have mastered crawling and have moved onto bigger tasks! I came home from work tonight to see Mollie doing this...notice my reaction when I walk in the door! I teared up tonight...she is growing so fast. She is precious. Enjoy!

I think I can.....

Today is Mollie's 7 month birthday! She is more precious with each passing day. I love watching her explore and learn. Here are her "stats" for this month:

~ She weighs 19lbs 10oz
~ She eats 6oz in each bottle and three jars of baby food a day.
~ Her favorite foods are Oatmeal Pears with Cinnamon, Vegetable Blend, and Squash.
~ She loves her toys! Especially her music table, her jumperoo, and her plastic shape blocks!
~ She says "Mama" and I don't care if she knows what she is saying, it is still the sweetest sound.
~ She just recovered from ear infection #5.
~ She loves watching cartoons in the mornings. Her favorites are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Wonder Pets, and Handy Manny.
~ She loves bath time. She would sit in the tub for hours if we would let her!
~ She can sit up all by herself and is very close to figuring out crawling!
~ She still has beautiful blue eyes. Adam and I both have hazel eyes. My father had blue eyes.
I like to think her blue eyes are a little gift from my dad. I sure hope they don't change color!

Mollie- You are my angel. You have enriched my life more than you could ever know. I love you.

First Sunday School

Mollie went to her very first Sunday school class today! We stayed around for the first few minutes to video and see how she was going to react! She is such a pleasant baby! She loved class and joined right in! Of course, her potential boyfriend Thomas was there to show her the ropes! We are blessed to belong to a church that has so many children that are Mollie's age. She will be able to develop such wonderful friendships there!
