Oak Meadow Park

We're having a lovely week here in sunny CA. I won't get into the exact numbers as I know some of you are dealing with some bitter cold right now, but let's just say we're having some record breaking highs. Molly and I got together with Jessie and her daughter Addison (and some of their friends) along with Katrine and Emily at the Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos this afternoon. Emily and Addison are also in Molly's Little Gym class on Thursday mornings.

It was a gorgeous day. Molly chilled in her Bob stroller and had a nice long lunch. Then we headed over to the grass. She kept trying to take Emily's walker, but was getting frustrated at how uneven the grass was. However, when she tried to head over to the dirt/gravel area (which was flat) I had to stop her because she didn't have any shoes on. She got more than a little frustrated. I gave her a bottle and she proceeded to konk out in her stroller as we walked the park with Katrine and Emily (in her brand new wagon). Molly was still out when we finished our loop so I left her in the stroller as Emily got some swing time in. It finally started to get dark around 5:00 and we realized we should probably be heading home.

However, since it was such a nice night out Molly and I went home to get N and then headed out for some burgers where we could sit outside and enjoy the evening. We headed up to Clarke's in Mt. View and got our fix. It was still nice out when we got home so we decided to spend some time in the hot tub. Gotta love CA weather!

SF Zoo

It was an absolutely gorgeous San Francisco day... clear blue skies... and a little chilly... but that's SF for ya! Jenn had made plans to head up to the Zoo so Molly and I decided to join them. We got there right in time for opening which worked out great since Molly had her morning nap in the car on the drive up. She also passed out in her stroller for a bit towards the end of the day. I think all the fresh air and breeze on top of the fact that she was snuggled in konked her right out.

We both brought our cameras, but Jenn had left her memory card at work and after a few shots my camera started flashing a low battery sign. The upside was both of our cameras took the same memory card so once my camera finally died we swapped over to Jenn's. Heh, between the two of us we made it work!

Robert had a great time running around the children's area and checking out all the animals up close and personal. Molly was still a little mellow from her morning nap (cut a little short) so she just chilled in the Bob stroller and checked things out. Unfortunately it was a little windy and a little chilly and a lot of the animals decided to stay inside. I'm thinking the next time we should head back is in the spring when all the babies start making an appearance.

Snotty McSnotterson strikes again!

Molly bug had a bit of a runny nose earlier this week. She hasn't come down with a full blown cold, but she gave whatever she did have to mommy and daddy. She's too quick on the draw with her fingers into our nose and mouths. Feeling a bit under the weather, but better today than I was yesterday. Molly is feeling perfectly normal as she just winded daddy by having him chase her all around the house on her walker. She was laughing up a storm and running into walls. Sounded very amusing as I was downstairs doing laundry and could only hear the wheels on the floor and her laughter.

Molly dancing

We were watching Entourage last night and over the closing credits there was a song Molly really seemed to enjoy. She was dancing her little heart out so we tried to recreate it here for you. Not as much as the first time around, but you can still see her get down with her bad self.

Finished Molly's birthday gallery....

Originally had 56 images or so... now has 190.

fall back

Just a reminder for everyone to set their clocks back one hour today. This actually works out great since Molly has a b.day party to attend so her morning nap won't be interrupted.

Day of the Dead

Perhaps it's the rainy/windy Something Wicked This Way Comes weather we're having... or the fact that it's the Day of the Dead, but does anyone else get completely creeped out when a kid's toy just randomly goes off? I know a lot of toys do this to get kids to come back an play with them, but Molly's octopus just started playing a tune all by itself in the living room. No animals were near by and I'm pretty sure this toy doesn't have that call back feature. Creepy!
