Bouncing around the room!

We got Molly a bouncer seat for Christmas. At first she was more interested in the toys on the seat than jumping. Probably didn't help that her feet didn't quite reach the floor either! But now Molly's got the hang of it and seems to really enjoy getting a good jumping session in.

Working on a sippy cup!

Molly has quickly picked up the hang of a sippy cup! Definitely helped her at the end of last week when she also picked up her first stomach bug. We were glad Molly was game to help keep herself well hydrated! It's funny because while we're so proud of Molly's little accomplishments and milestones, they also make us wonder..."what happened to that little 5lb, 12ounce bean we brought home from the hospital"!

Who does Molly look like??

Here are some side by side pictures of Molly and mine and Jeremy's baby pictures. Who do you think she looks like??

Molly snogging...

"Molly snogging"... that's what Grandma Irene calls Molly's slobbery, but super sweet little kisses! Whatever we choose to call them, Molly sure has fun giving them. Here's a little glimpse...

Molly's first Christmas!

Molly's first Christmas was spent in our new home in Columbus with grandma Irene & grandpa Joe! Unfortunately, no white Christmas, but the mild weather allowed us to enjoy a little time outside. We took a walk to the park down the street where Molly got to try out her first swing at the playground.

 

Soon it was time for our traditional Polish Xmas eve complete with homemade mushroom soup, pierogi, smoked fish & kolacki. We started it off with sharing oplatek, or the Christmas wafer, where we each break off and share a piece of oplatek with each other along with a blessing & memories of Molly's great grandma & grandpa Gomulka. 

Christmas morning Molly was sporting her Xmas PJ's; a hand-me-down from our friends William & Theo!

Sorry, can't figure out how to rotate the picture!

Molly was ready to tear into her gifts! Molly must have been a good little girl because it literally took her the entire day to unwrap all her gifts.

Here are grandma & grandpa showing off their gifts... 

Hard to believe the holidays have come & gone. What I've loved the most about this past December has been an entire month home with Molly! She's at such a fun age right now. Everyday is something new and with it comes more glimpses into who this magnificent little blessing is!
