Happy Birthday, Molly Girl!

The first picture of Hattie in the swing is actually from the day before Molly's birthday. Doesn't Hattie look just so cozy in there? Soft blankie, gentle rocking, a pacifier... pure baby bliss.

Happy birthday, Molly! Our little girl is officially two years old! Matt was back in Canon City over her birthday (actually 1/31 to 2/4) so we delayed the birthday cake and gifts, but we still forged on with a few special things for her birthday. Molly, Alanna, Hattie, and I played trains for a while in the morning. Molly still struggles to get her trains back on the tracks after they derail, but she really likes playing trains. Later, I took the girls down to Wildlife Safari Village for a few hours on Wednesday morning. We met Melanie and Micah there, and I'm pretty sure we were one of about four groups at the village that morning. All the other mornings were beautiful that week - except for Wednesday, Molly's birthday. It was a little brisk outside, and a tad drizzly at the end of our time outside, but we still had a fun time seeing the animals and getting some fresh air. Because it was an early-release Wednesday, we picked up Charlie from school at 2. Molly skipped her nap for the day and spent extra time playing. Totally worth it! It looks like she has post-nap hair, but it's actually just what happens after she pulls out her hair ties. Crazy! She got in some good coloring time with Charlie at the table and played some Dominoes with Alanna after that. I made a few of her favorites for meals and we finished the day with one episode of Curious George, the one where he goes to a birthday party. So fitting! Except it wasn't because Molly didn't have cake or open presents on her birthday... I think she had a good day anyway.
