I won a photo challenge!!! {I Heart Faces}

I am so thrilled that a photo I took of Mollie came in 5th place in last week's I Heart Faces photo challenge: Smile. I thought long and hard about the best smiles I have seen: happy smiles, goofy smiles, toothy smiles, toothless smiles. Smiles are great, no matter what! When I think of my daughter, I can't help but think of silly smiles. She loves oranges, and her daddy taught her how to make an orange smile. Orange you happy to see this smile?

Busy Times!

What day is today? What time is it? What YEAR is it? Time is flying by. That's the only way I can describe it. One thing I have learned- never make a to-do list for a vacation. It never gets done. We had more than two weeks off of work for the holidays and did maybe one thing off our list. Was it something important? No. You know how I know? Because I don't even know what it was! Sigh.

Little Miss Mollie is full of surprises. She is hilarious. Today, I wrote her name on the Magna Doodle, held it up to her without saying anything, and she looked at it and said "Mollie" then went about her business. Okay. I know the kid is smart, but what was that? Last night, I was eating a cookie with a snowman face, and I let Mollie take a few nibbles off of it. She looked at David's cookie that sat on the table waiting for him, and I could have sworn she said in a very matter-of-fact way, "Are you going to eat that?" It sounded more like "Are-oo-go-eat that?" She laughed immediately following her question. Once she got hold of her own cookie, she stuck it vertically in her mouth and made sure that both David and I took full notice.

We love her so much. She is so funny, sweet, and musical. She may only weigh 20 pounds and have only 5 teeth, but she's a doll. We love our little Mollie!
