Adventures in Calgary

Yesterday was our busiest day yet. It started for Noel and Molly around 6 am when then got up to watch a bike race. Noel got Molly all decked out in her yellow jersey so that Michelle (another insane person for getting up so early on a weekend) could see how her gift looked on Molly. Next we were all off to Uncle Jim's for brunch. It's always great seeing Cori and Jim and the kids. Cami was great with Molly yesterday. Jim made us eggs benny - yum. Next stop...Market Mall so that I could return a top and get my new jeans shortened. Then it was off to Redwood Meadows for Sophia's 1st birthday party. This was Molly's first birthday party and I'm sure no other party will ever live up to it. Jenn and Rudi (and Rachel) really did an incredible job of organizing and decorating the party. The kids all had a blast. Molly really enjoyed meeting Sally and even gave her some smiles and coos. I think we'll have to recruit Jenn when it comes time to plan Molly's birthday celebrations...speaking of which Molly is 8 weeks old today and she turns 2 months this Thursday but instead of a party we're getting her shots done! After the party we headed back to town and over to Grandma Nancy's for dinner. For all that running around Molly did very well. She was very upset and cried a lot in the car which is somewhat unusual but I think she was just in need of some quiet time. When we finally got home last night she conked out and so did I. I don't think I'll be planning so many things in one day again for a long, long time. Perhaps at Christmas but that's about it. Today has been a pj day. We've been napping and relaxing all day long and although Molly has been a bit fussier than usual, I think we're well on track for feeling better again.

Today's new trick...Molly has started to use her tongue to suck her upper lip in and out. It looks very strange and sounds even stranger.

Today's new toy...Molly tried out her new Aquarium Bouncer (borrowed from Cori and Jim). She seems to like it so far. I bet she'll like it a lot more once we get the batteries for it to vibrate.
