Princess Mollykins @ 15 months old

This little girl is a sass-a-frass!! She is ALL girl! Loves to snuggle with stuffed animals, loves to wear jewelry, brush her hair, 'talk' on the phone, put 'lipstick' on.... and she LOVES to dance!

here she is playing peek-a-boo... one of her favorite things.

She weighs in at 20 lbs (10%) and her length (taken with a measuring tape while wiggling around) is 29.5 inches ( 10%). Her height actually surprises me, since most of her jeans look like capri's on her, and are too big around the waist. Either way she is fetchin cute! And we love her to pieces. She is seriously soooo funny! She can say quite a few things now. She says oh-no, hi, duck, quack, moo (maaa) , 'ready' (reeeiii), mama, dada, and fish (shh). I think that's it.

We got an e-mail from her Uncle Taylor, and my mom had sent him a picture of the kids. Taylor said, "she doesn't look like Jen, she IS Jen!" :)
Have I mentioned lately how much she *loves* Cohen???? Oh my...

I love you baby moo moo

SUM·MER·TIME - noun - \sə-mər-ˌtīm\

Berries, Berries, Berries! Cohen & Molly LOVE berries. My dad brought home $120 worth of fresh picked raspberries, blueberries and blackberries from work one day. They covered the entire counter top! Molly had just woke up from her nap, and would NOT let me put her in her high chair for her snack. So I held her while she would take handfuls of these beautiful treats! After she took a few handfuls, she shared with me, and started feeding me the berries! So then I sent Cohen & Molly out side to further enjoy their summertime snack.

...boy am I going to miss summer...

from the mouth of babes...

Tonight, before dinner, we asked Cohen to say the prayer. Usually when he prays, I will say a sentence, and he will repeat the last word of that sentence. Well I said, "we're thankful for our blessings..." And he said, "candy".

Yes. We are very thankful for candy.

summer fun

 

Well I tried at add them one at a time, and i just don't have the patience for it ;)

We have been having some good times so far, playing in the sun! Most of these pictures of from our new favorite park! It's in Oregon City. It has a great big play structure, and a huge splash park! It's sooo fun! Not to mention the huge fields, volleyball net, baseball fields, basketball/tennis courts.... there is literally something for everyone! We love it.

When we don't make it away from our house, we hang out on the deck. The kids love playing in the water!

Cohen is very hesitant getting wet at first... but if I grab his hand and just run through the water...

he's good to go! :)    Molly had no issues... and loves chasing the water!

I hope you are enjoying this weather as much as we are!

potty training update

So it's been almost three weeks since we began potty training. It has been going waaaaaay better than I had anticipated! He now tells us when he has to go, and has on average, one accident a day (which is usually #2). We haven't quite gotten down the poo part. I'm not even sure how to go about it. He thoroughly enjoys doing the "potty dance", and picking out a 'potty treat'! I can't believe how much he's grown up in these past few weeks! I am just sooooo proud of him!!!
