Oh, Mollie....

A little Mollie update....Mollie is very much into dressing herself and trying to prove that she can do it. "I do it" is a very, very familiar phrase in our house. It typically means that a shirt ends up around her waist or her pants are on but with both legs in the same pant leg. On this day, it meant a onesie over her pajamas. It is important to note that Mollie had an audience. It's amazing what a little encouragement will do. :)

We spent the last week with a sick little Mollie in our house. We aren't quite sure what was wrong with her, but I assure you that I hope no one else gets it. Mollie was so sad. She ran a pretty high fever. We were up for about 3 nights, I lost count. Her fever spiked between 1 and 2 am. It was like clockwork. We started her on amoxicilin on Thursday. Dr. Ledbetter gave it to us in case she didn't get better. A fever of 104 to me meant that we weren't getting better. It eventually seemed to do the trick. By Friday night about bedtime, she seemed better and slept all night long!! Saturday night, we had a family dinner before Caleb left to go back to College Station. Fortunately, Mollie felt up to hanging out with everyone.

When I was getting Mollie into her pjs and Mandy was getting Noah into his, we made a very interesting discovery. It was the first time we had seen the two of them together in just diapers. Mollie's skin is super fair and Noah's skin is so olive! I'm very jealous. Check out Mandy's blog to see the difference between the two cousins. By the way, the two kids have started communicating in their own "language." It is so funny to listen to them!
