Happy 2nd Birthday, Molly!

Today is Molly's 2nd birthday! Very hard to believe she's two years old already. Molly had two birthday celebrations this year. The first was when grandma & grandpa Pintor were in town last weekend visiting. Here are a few highlights...

Today's we celebrated with friends during a birthday breakfast playdate at our house. Here are some of the highlights...

 Whoa, not too close!

"I did it"... Very proud of herself!

Ines (AKA "Nessie) and her mom, Kristen.

Miss Ellie!

Molly & Ines... They're in the same classroom together at school/daycare. We realized today that they probably spend about 40 hours a week together! Good buddies...

Happy Birthday, Molly "bean"!

Somersaults!

Our severe decline in posts to Molly's blog is a pretty adequate reflection of the extremely busy semester we've had here in Columbus. But this is the last week of the spring semester, so hopefully we'll try to pick up the posts over the summer.

At Molly's parent-teacher conference her teacher's noted how she's off the charts with her large motor skills. We actually have no idea what that means, but maybe her new found love of somersaults speaks to it. Here's some footage... Oh, and as you can see by the underwear, she's still doing great with potty training!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

A birthday song for Grandpa Joe!

Oh my gosh!

Molly's turning into quite the chatterbox. Often we find ourselves amazed by the new word, phrase or relatively complex thought that comes out of her mouth. Other times, it's just down right hilarious! Tonight was one of the hilarious moments. Here's a glimpse... Note, we did not prompt the original expression of "oh my gosh", we just prompted her to repeat it to get it on camera.

Molly's moves

It's been a while since either of us has posted. Molly (and life in general) has been keeping us busy. The biggest update, of course, is that Molly is potty training like a champ! She's closing in on her first full week of no diapers (except for nap and night time - but she's been dry after naps anyway).  There have been a few accidents here and there, but she's doing a great job overall.

Since we doubt anyone is interested in photos or video of Molly on the potty, we decided to include this video of Molly's cool new dance moves...

enjoy!
