Happy 6 months Molly!

Molly is 6 months old today. It has gone by so fast. She is learning so much and growing so big. At her last doctor's appointment she weighed 16 pounds and 10 oz putting her in the 73rd percentile. She is in the 98th percentile in height and her head is in the 94th. She is definitely her daddy's girl. Molly has been pretty fussy this last week and I thought it was because we were both missing her daddy, but the other day as she was sucking on my finger I felt something sharp. She has her first tooth! I'm sure she still misses her daddy, but she has been her happy little self since that tooth poked through. Also, as you can see in the pictures Molly LOVES to eat! We have started her on solid foods and we haven't found anything yet that she doesn't like.

Happy Father's Day Daddy! I love you!

China

After way too many hours flying and hanging out in airports (like 26 or 27 hours) I finally made it to China. The flights weren't that great, but I did get to watch Step Up 2 on the airplane, so the trip wasn't a total loss. We (my boss and I) flew in to Hong Kong and then took a van across the border to China. This picture is from my hotel room. My room is actually pretty nice. They have about 4 English channels that aren't news on tv (I don't count ESPN as news) and I have a huge window overlooking part of China. If you look closely at the picture you can see that there is a KFC right by our building. So far I'm liking the American food better than the Chinese food. We had dinner at this Chinese place where I was lucky enough to taste some frog and this fish thing. The 'highlight' of that night was it rained crazy hard and flooded parts of the streets so we didn't get home until after 1:00 in the morning. The water was probably three feet deep in some places. So, that's China so far.

Missing Daddy!

I think these pictures speak for themselves. Molly just isn't the same without her daddy. Brady is in China for two weeks working. I am so excited that he gets to see China, but not so excited that he is so far away from us. I am amazed at how emotional I have been and it has only been two days! Brady and I didn't have the typical courtship. He lived in Washington until a few days before we got married. We were lucky if we got to see each other twice a month. I thought this trip would be easier because of that, but it's not. Our love has grown so much stronger since then and now we have our little house with our little Molly. Two weeks of her little life seems like so much. I know she won't remember, but I know Brady is missing her. I am just so grateful for the husband I have and all that he does for me and Molly. 

Success!!!!

Molly has found yet another thing to suck on besides a binky and a bottle.  She has also figured out how to undo her diaper (at least the right side of it) if we let her just hang out without clothes on.
