Mollie is 1 today

It is amazing how this little lady has grown in one year.

The first picture is from August 26, 2004, so she is about 2 weeks old here. The second was taken about a week ago. I have to admit, she is so much different than her brother it is amazing. Her brother was always able to play quietly by himself. Mollie is a nosy one, always needs to be sitting at the table with the adults, seeing what is going on. She is a people person. I am not saying Jacob is not, but he is often content to sit down and look at a picture book (though he is now trying to teach himself to read now), or play a game by himself or watch a movie on TV. Mollie does not ever sit in front of the TV, it is a distraction to her. She does not look at books. She eats them or rips the pages. She is a typical toddler now that she is crawling and ready to walk. She is getting into everything. If there is a pile of papers on a table within an arms reach, she knocks it down. She is constantly playing in the dog's water, about the only major no-no in our house is to stay away from the dog dish, but she continually tries.

We went to the Norwalk Aquarium and saw the Albino aligator named Blizzard. We then went out for dinner and had ice cream with her 92 year old great-grandmother. If you ever met Nanny, you would not think she is in her 90's, but rather her late 70's or maybe early 80's.

Happy Birthday Mollie!!!
