Merry Christmas!!!!

What an eventful month we have had!! I went to the Nutcracker, Santa Land, Kami's wedding, and so much more! Santa was very good to me this year. I got a Fisher Price Easy Link internet system. It lets me play my games and stops me from seeing bad things. It also has a timer so Mommy can regulate how much time I spend on the internet. Santa also got me my most favorite movie Backyardigans Super Secret Spy (a video attachment of me acting it out will be coming soon). Mommy and Daddy got me a Leapster Learning System which is like a preschool game boy. It is really cool. I was very excited about Christmas this year but I was very sad that I was asleep when Santa came. I was also very sad that my elf Albit had to go back to the North Pole. But the presents totally made up for it. I sure hope Santa was as good to everyone else as he was to me!

Love,

Gage

My Christmas wasn't as eventful as Gage's because I really have no clue what it is. I like all of the pretty stuff on the tree and there was something about this guy in a red suit with a big white beard but I have no idea what the big deal is. I got a flower toy, some clothes and some good teether toys. Thanks big guy in red. I'm starting to get up on my knees and rock so Mommy's pretty scared that I am going to be crawling soon. That means she's going to have to baby proof the house. Nana thinks I'll be walking really early since my Mommy walked at 9mths. I already love to stand as long as someone balances me. I am such a big girl!

I too hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Love,

Molly

6 Months Old

Yep, that's right I am officially half a year old!! I had my 6 mth check up today and got a thumbs up from the doctor. My Mommy thinks my measurements were off a little though. The nurse measured me by marking on the table at 26 inches long. Dr. G. came in and said that I was in the 85% in length. After Dr. G left Mommy laid me back down to check the measurement and it was off about 1/2 to 1 inch. My Mommy was skeptical because I am still wearing 0-3 pants and just now started to fit into my 3-6 mth tops. My weight though was more accurate. I weighed in at 14.6 lbs which put me in the 25%.

I am a big girl sitting up now and I can roll and roll and roll!!! I am beginning to become a little partial to some people and sometimes don't like it when my Mommy leaves me. I love to watch Gage and learn from everything that he does. He likes me now and will play with me a lot. I have found that he loves to make me laugh. Mommy is starting to see a little twinkle in my eye which scares her to death. She thinks Nana's curse is going to take with me. Apparently she wasn't the best little girl growing up and Nana wants her to pay for it. I promise Mommy I will try to be good!

Can you see me back there??
I love playing!
Don't you just want to squeeze me!

All Dogs Go to Heaven II

We have had to say goodbye to our loving loyal dog Taz. He had been suffering from seizures for 6 months and his body couldn't take it anymore. We are at peace knowing that he is now with Sable playing and having a good time again. We love you Taz and will forever miss you!

Rock Lesson #37

Last night Mommy and Daddy took me to see The Blue Man Group. Yep, that's right they were those parents that took a 3 year old to a rock concert. On their behalf they didn't know it was going to be that "rock". They did put ear plugs in my ears to soften the loudness. Thanks Stephanie for giving them the advice. I learned many rock lessons. #1 the head bob, #4 the single arm wave, # 7 raise the roof, and my favorite #6 the jump up and down. We had a lot of fun I just wish the Blue men would have taken me on stage.

She isn't so bad after all!!

I have recently discovered that Molly isn't so bad after all. I am finding that when I act crazy it makes her happy. I love to play peek-a-boo with her and give her the giggles. I guess this big brother this is going to be fun after all!!!

Molly loves her frog teether.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Whew, what a Thanksgiving! To start the day Nana got the stomach flu so we were a little worried about Thanksgiving dinner. But Mommy and Papa came to the rescue and made a pretty decent meal (actually it was really good thanks to everyone helping). The kitchen was a little hectic but all in all they had fun!

I had a blast with my cousins Hailey and Sebastian. We played in the snow and pretty much went non-stop all day long. The Hale house was far from quiet and peaceful. We opened our Christmas presents since we won't get to see everybody at Christmas and I got a huge dump truck, a Home Depot tool set, and an ABC book with CD. Molly got a birthday outfit which will be seen at a later date and her very first purse!! Thanks guys for the great gifts!

On Friday we tried to get our pictures taken. I heard someone say it was like herding a bunch of cats. Whatever that's suppose to mean. Maybe in a few years we'll be able to get a good picture.
