Always some excuse not to blog, isn’t there? Shame on dad. I can sleep when she’s married. 😀 Besides, something of a Milestone today, and since we haven’t had one in a while:
- Milestone: Molly drinks orange juice from a regular cup – with one hand!
…Hairstyle by Two Hour Naps Salon, Inc. 😀
We’ve mostly been staying inside to wait out the cold snap, so we’ve been playing differently in the same spaces — going into the tub without water in it, for example, to draw with bathtub crayons, or jumping off new and different pieces of furniture. 😀
This morning we ran a quick errand, but Molly nodded off on the way home — and slept for about 20 minutes, which meant she fought her daily nap off until around 1 p.m.
When she woke up from her “real” nap, she just wanted to be held quietly and rocked for a half an hour or so, and I happily obliged. Squeezed her tight and hummed a bit, reminding myself (as I increasingly do) how there will come a too-soon time when she doesn’t want daddy to pick her up and hold her for long periods.
I already can guess how much I’m going to miss it. 🙂

Love that picture, Dad. I especially love the lower-lip “collect any possible overflow” position on our sweet girl. Oh my, she is growing up so fast! Good that you do those long-time holdings, now. You are so right about what happens to those. Thank you for giving us these peeks into your lives. We so enjoy them!
