My 5th Birthday
This was a big month for me. It all started with my four-month shots; I should have known something was up when Mom and Dad kept hugging me and saying, "It's not our fault!" I was a tough girl, though. I only cried a little, and in fact, I think Mom cried more than I did. I just cuddled with my duckie and slept off the pain after the shots.
The weekend after that, my friend Maryanne came to visit me all the way from California. We convinced our mommies to take us shopping, and they paid for everything ;)
Next, I decided it was time to try out my exercsaucer. My feet didn't quite touch the bottom, but with the help of a book, I was good to go. With the weather starting to get a little colder, I wanted to make sure I got out of the house a little. Jensen and I (along with her big brother and our Mommies) all went to the zoo, and then I took my parents to the pumpkin patch to pick out my first pumpkin.
I hit three big milestones in my life this month, too. First I ate rice cereal, then right after that I sat up on my own, and not long after that I rolled over for the first time. I've actually been able to roll over for a while, but I waited until the parents-as-teachers ladies were over. My parents asked them if it was OK that I wasn't rolling over yet, and right after that, I rolled over... it was really funny.
Lastly, today, on my five-month birthday I got to put my Halloween costume on a few days early and wear it to a party with a ton of other kids. They even let me walk across the stage and show my costume off to the whole audience. I'm pretty sure I made everyone's day, and I had a blast at the same time.
That's all for this month. It's getting late, and it's Dad's turn to use the computer, like always.
The holidays are coming up, and I hope that I'll get to see everyone!

Molly's Thrid Month
Thank you Aunt Sarah for getting me back on track!
Molly is becoming more and more expressive, recognizing people outside of Amy and I and developing hand eye coordination. At her latest checkup she weighed in at 13 and one half pounds and is 24 inches tall. She is moving a long in the 50th percentile pretty much every month, a very good sign that she is a healthy baby.
Her eating is insane; she went from about every three hours to every hour sometimes during the day. Good news for mom is that Molly is now sleeping up to 12 hours a night, this is good news for dad to, but he is missing the 1 AM feeding, since it was time for him and Molly to hang out. On the other hand dads bruises from mom kicking him to wake up are healing… just kidding.
Molly had her first road trip this month, we packed up what felt like a months supply of “stuff” for a weekend trip to Dallas, to see my cousin get married as well as introduce Molly to a lot of her extended family and spend some quality time with Aunt Amber. It was a great trip and Molly did very well in car.
Other exciting things from Molly’s like this last month; went to the Spinach Fest, cheered KSU to a great win over Texas and was disappointed in a heart breaking loss to Mom’s school, two new friends were born, Paxton and Avery and just this last weekend Cheryl and Maryann came to visit.
Molly also added a time line to her web site this month, if you haven’t looked at it you should take a look, you can really tell how much she’s grown!
That’s all for this entry, I’ll try and remember the next one without a reminder J

3 Months... well almost
Other than that everything is going great for the whole family, Molly hasn't figured out that sleeping through the night is fun for all, but her six hour streches at night is nothing to complain about!

Molly at 2 Months!
This month, Molly went to her first two movies (E.T. and Indiana Jones) outside at Crown Center, attended her first work party with people dad works with, and read the entire Harry Potter book in one day (with help from mom). She also cheered dad on at the Lenexa Freedom Run before watching the parade. She would have seen her first fireworks, but Mom and Dad were lazy and decided to just stay home and order pizza that night.
There were many more more friends and family who Molly met for the first time this month. Each of them, she added to her web site, http://www.mollylafferty.com/friends.php :)
Thank you to everyone who has stopped by, sent cards, left messages and checked out pictures. We appreciate having so many great friends and family!

Molly Turns 1 Month Old
Molly has also got in some traveling in her first month, she has traveled to great cities like Lenexa and Overland Park not to mention dining at restaurants that include, Olive Garden, Chipotle, McAlister's Deli and attending her first happy hour at Old Chicago. Needless to say Molly's social calendar has been very busy. Did I mention she attended her first wedding and wedding shower in her first month?
With all that she has done in her first month, we can only imagine what's in store for month #2!

Molly Update
Molly is also nice to mom and dad only complaining when she is hungry, dirty or bored when dad tries to teach her finances. Mom is still at home, but Dad had to go back to work last week, luckily with work only 5 minutes away he comes home for a long lunch every day to see his ladies!
Thanks to everyone that has sent us messages and stopped by, we love getting to show Molly off!!!

Mark your calendar
Looks like the predictions have come down to two people Richard Roberts (friend of mine from work) and Amy's Aunt Michelle. If Molly comes before 4:00 PM Richard will be our winner of the free lunch/dinner, if she's stubborn and comes after 4:00 PM Aunt Michelle is going to have to make a trip to KC :)

My Birthday
Also, yesterday Amy and her mom went to get pedicures and the guy who did Amy's asked her if she was ready to have the baby and when Amy said yes he told her that in 48 hours she would go into labor, so if we have a bay today or tomorrow, you'll know what ever he did worked.

Molly's perspective
Monday, April 16, 2007
Limericks from the shower
His pants has a load
As he tries to code
When he was a tike
He would ride Bertha his bike
He runs really fast
But his wife runs past
This is a summary of his life
There once was a boy named Cory
That would always make mommy worry
His pants were poppy
And he always watched snoppy
And that is the end of our story
This is the story
About our Cory
When he became a dad
When Amy's test
Came out the best
And made him oh so glad
There once was a baby name Molly
Who was chubby and happy and jolly
Cory's the lad
who will soon be a dad
And we're have a party – Oh Golly
We've heard that our limerick should be dirty
But most of us here are over 30...
However diapers are shitty
And poor Cory what a pity!
But little Molly will be flirty
But my oh my she is purdy
There once was a boy named Cory
Who really could tell a good story
He met a red headed dolly
Who will bear him a girl named Molly
Who will be his crowning glory
There once was a boy named Cory
Computers was his story
He met Amy the red
Who took him to bed
We wonder if they will have more-y
There once was a boy named Cory
Before Amy not much of a story
And after much folly
We'll soon meet Miss Molly
Whach out cause diapers get gory

Quote of the Day
Cousin Laura had her hand on Amy's belly at the shower and when Molly kicked, Laura jumped a little and asked Amy with a surprised look on her face, "Did you feel that?"

Molly's Big Day
She was so excited for the events of the day that she couldn't hold still, which also gave dad his first view of her moving around in mom's belly. It's one thing to feel her moving, but to actually see it was really cool.
The 4D was amazing, and even though she was playing hide and seek the entire time, we got several great pictures, and the DVD is a lot of fun.
So after dinner and such a full day, mom and Molly fell right asleep while dad, being the huge nerd that he is, updated the web site and blog!
