Month Numero Dos

Molly Sue at 4 weeks!

At the Gaylord

New Year's Eve

Some of my favorite pj's!

Molly's second month of life was less eventful than the firs...thank goodness! At this point she is still nursing well and taking her supplement, and getting bigger every day! On December 14 Molly weighed 6 lbs 6.5 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long! Once again Dr. Naylor was very happy with this weight gain! December 17 JJ, Molly and I left for Longview to spend a whole week for Christmas! It was great to get to spend Molly's first Christmas with my family, especially since I have worked the last 3 Christmas! We had such a great week spending time with Dylan, Taylor, Jen, and all the rest of our family. Mimi and Grandma and PaPa all had a great time getting to love on their newest great grand baby! December 19 we had Molly's sip and see at LaCee's house and it was wonderful!  So many people came to celebrate Molly and ooh and aah over her!  We did Christmas present opening on Christmas eve with everyone and it was so much fun! I love getting to spend time with all the kids and family, and of course, eating too much food! Christmas morning was wonderful. JJ, Molly, Mawmaw, PaPaw and I got up, drank our coffee, and opened presents in a very slow, organized way, haha! JJ and I have decided that going to Longview is like staying at an all inclusive resort, but BETTER! It was so nice to have sooo much help from everyone! We were NOT ready to come home, but we loaded up the Hyundai to the brim on Sunday and headed to Dallas to do Christmas with the Novaks. It was such a great day opening gifts, eating, and then we headed for dinner and a scavenger hunt at the Gaylord. Jim always tries to come up with new, fun ways to give us our gifts and this was no different! Finally our family of 3 headed home. We were exhausted but so full of love and contentment after spending time with our families. Molly went back to the doctor on December 28 and weighed
7-11...yay! For New Year's eve JJ, Molly, and I hung out with our awesome home group friends! In full mommy and daddy fashion, we were home by 10:00 and brought in the new year, just the 3 of us! January 3 was a hard day for everyone. JJ went back to work and we were sooo sad :( It was so nice having him home for such a long time to help with Molly and keep me laughing when times were tough. We did make it through though and actually enjoyed our "alone" time together. On January 9 Molly got to experience her first snow. It was great to just sit with her in the warm house and see the beautiful gift God had given us in the white powdery "mess"! Molly's second month ended with celebrating her daddy's birthday at where else but CHILI'S! I can't believe our blessing is 2 months old already! She is still enjoying sleeping on mommy at night, eating every 3 hours like clock work, and taking in this amazing world! We love her more and more every day <3
