Rollin rollin rollin

Molly hasn't taken steps on her own, but she loves roll-walking with the support of her car. Pics and video below!

What else is Molly up to? She eats "people food" now -- small bites of things like pasta, pizza, lunch meat, enchiladas, rice, etc. Her favorite foods are still the kid-friendly favorites though. Bananas, peas, cheddar cheese, yogurt, and of course puffs. She's also added a few new sounds to the list. In addition to "mama" and "dada," we also have "da" (which means "dog" and a variety of other things), "rara" and "ba." Our girl is well versed.

Naps at daycare are getting shorter and less frequent, though I am trying to correct this problem by letting her take her favorite duck lovey to school every day. We'll see if this works. She has been "crib surfing" with Brendan, meaning they stand up in their cribs and bounce until the cribs move into the center aisle. Apparently daycare is so much fun, she doesn't want to miss out. Thankfully, this hasn't impacted her nighttime sleeping abilities and we still get a good 12 hours out of her from 7 to 7. She also catches up on lost sleep over the weekend by taking 2 two-hour naps every day.

I think that's about it. Life is good and we're having plenty of fun, especially now that the summer weather is finally here. We spent some time this weekend splashing around water tables in friends' back yards, so our little city girl is being exposed to nature and all of its glory. It took her a while to get used to grass, but she seems to be okay with it now. If we can just stop her from trying to eat everything she picks up off the ground...

I have a short week this week -- 4 days in the office -- and then we're off to Pawleys Island, SC for a family vacation with my parents and sisters. I can't wait! Litchfield Beach, where my parents have had a condo for the past 15 or so years, is my all-time favorite beach. Now that they're living in Florida full-time, they've decided to sell the place, so this will be our last hurrah! I will miss it, but am glad we get to take Molly and have a final opportunity to go to our favorite restaurants: Franks, Russell's Seafood Grill, the Litchfield Fish House, Pastaria 811, and the Eggs Up Grill to name a few. Mmmm.
