Baby Smiles!

I can't claim that this is her first smile but it was her first smile at ME! I have reports of a smile to Papaw last weekend. I witnessed smiling at Uncle Chad. And then on Monday, she smiled at me! It was such a sweet moment for me. I kinda screamed in excitement which made her mad but then she quickly went back to smiling. Luckily, Aunt Karen was nearby with my iPhone to capture it for us! It is now Wednesday and I have been privy to many sweet sweet smiles from my baby girl!

Mollie is 6 weeks old today and I just can't believe it. I have always heard parents say "I can't remember my life without her." I always thought that was an odd statement but completely understand now. I have only known her 6 short weeks but feel like she has always been with me. It truly is a love that you can't understand until you experience it.

This is how I found Mollie napping on her daddy! She was completely sprawled out and loving it!

Activity Time!!

We love our activity mat!! I'm sure Mollie can't really enjoy all it has to offer yet but she sure loves the mirror shaped like a sun!! She is starting to look at lights and things that make noise. We have a little stuffed bear that laughs and she loves it! She is starting to follow my voice with her eyes and it makes my heart melt!! I have about three weeks left at home with her and I want to enjoy every minute of it!

Thanks Staci!

Here are some of the pictures from Mollie's first photo shoot. Our friend, Staci, has taken up photography as her hobby and she is so good at it! Mollie was one week old at this photo shoot.

Oh how we love Fall!

This past Tuesday morning Mollie and I spent some time with good friends at the Fayetteville Farmers Market! It was a beautiful fall day and we had a really good time! We were invited by our dear friends Bonnie and Nellie. Of course, Caroline and baby Thomas joined us! It was Mollie and Thomas' first trip to the farmers market. Caroline however is a farmer market pro and couldn't wait to buy some tomatoes and green beans! Caroline was so cute walking around and commenting on all the vendors selling their items. She is such a smart little girl and I love that I have been able to watch her mature and grow over the past 2.5 years!

Mollie helped me pick out some yummy food! We bought fresh green beans, bell pepper, and squash! Now I just have to figure out how to cook it all!!!

Caroline enjoying one of her tomatoes she bought. I think she may have eaten the whole bag before we left the market!!

Yes- we put both babies in Mollie's carrier and no Baby Thomas didn't enjoy it but we got the picture right?!?! I loved Thomas pumpkin hat! So cute!!

Caroline and "Baby Mowwee". Caroline is such a good helper with the babies!

Thank you Lifegroup!!!

Our Mt. Comfort Lifegroup sent us this edible arrangement in honor of Mollie's arrival! It was so cute and very yummy!! Thank you to such a special group!

Vintage Clothes!

Here is a picture of Mollie's coming home outfit! It is the same dress that I wore home from the hospital in 1983! As a gift at one of my showers, my mother gave me a box of my clothes to hand-me-down to Mollie. I realize now I should have gotten a better picture of the actual outfit but the whole process of getting home was pretty stressful! Picture taking wasn't at the forefront of my mind!
