Molly helping daddy make the bed

Quick Molly update...

Molly is sitting quite well now, she is trying to crawl (we're hoping later rather than sooner!), she is louder and louder everyday, loves to dance, and is perfecting her waving. We have all just survived our first family cold (have pictures of that too...of course...but want to spare you the desperately sad look of a baby with a cold).

Molly continues to be a joy in our lives reminding us of what is really important...family, love, and together time. Molly turns 8 months old on March 7th--the day before her grappa turns 60! We have much to celebrate in this family.

Life is good. Cheers!

Rockin' Molly

Happy Valentines Day!!

Molly and the attack of the Great Avocado

Oh no--what is this? Is it possible that Molly doesn't like avocado?

Happy Half Birthday!!

Today is Molly's 1/2 birthday (a daddy tradition!). We can hardly believe she is 6 months old! We celebrated with a little rice cereal and her first taste of applesauce. And of course a 'birthday girl' tiara (handed down from mommy).

Happy New Year!

Gott Nytt År til min familj och vānnen en Sverige!

Jonathan, Molly, and I just returned from a winter holiday in Truckee with family. Molly's first Christmas was certainly a celebration! We had lots of family time, went snow shoeing, and hung out at the cabin. It was so much fun to begin holiday traditions with Molly...what fun the years to come will be!

Molly celebrated the new year with her first taste of solid foods...a little organic rice cereal. She LOVED it! I think we have a little foodie on our hands! Good thing her future uncle is a chef!

As Christmas ends and toys are aplenty, make sure that you check out and sign up for updates to the toy recall list to make sure that the toys our kids play with are safe. And support local, organic, and fair trade products!

As we all get back into the swing of 'regular' life, may we wish you a healthy, happy, and peaceful 2008!

Love Megan, Jonathan, & Molly

FYI--Merck recalls 1 million doses of childhood vaccine

Merck & Co. is recalling about a million doses of a childhood vaccine, after testing showed a sterilization problem at its Pennsylvania plant. The company is not aware of any harm to children who received the vaccine, known as Hib, which prevents meningitis and pneumonia.
