Like father, like daughter

A position N hopes to never be in, but she *is* his daughter.

Up-up-down

Up-up-down (Molly's way of saying upside down) is one of her favorite things to do. I've been smart and left this as a strictly DADDY activity. No need to spend my ENTIRE day carrying Molly upside down. Clearly this is a father/daughter bonding thing and I'll leave the heavy lifting to dad. ;-)



Molly likes to mix things up and every now and then she'll demand some daddy taxi time. Another body damaging activity... ahem, I mean another father/daughter bonding thing. Yeah, that's it.

nap time... or spring cleaning?

Sometimes Miss Molly isn't quite ready for nap time. Apparently the feng shui in her room is off and she needs to make some adjustments. And apparently these adjustments consist of tossing certain contents of her room into the hallway. We have no idea why she does this, but after she tosses a few things out she goes to sleep so we don't question it.

cuddle time

Molly is quite the little cuddle muffin. One of her favorite things to do is snuggle up with you. Sometimes we're lucky and she's in this mood when she wakes up so we get a little bit more time in bed before she's demanding Abby's Flying Fairy School or Monsters, Inc. (and even Ratatouille a few times recently). More often than not this snuggle time happens just before or right after nap time.



Or sometimes just after a long day... like Superbowl Sunday where she crawled into grandpa's lap and just had a good stare.

Like mother, like daughter

Molly loves books. She loves to have them read to her. Some so many times that I now have a few of them memorized (not exaggerating). However, she is also very content to sit down with a book and flip through the pages herself. This can occupy her for a good 20 minutes or so.



Look familiar?

Candyland

While we were up in Tahoe I picked up the Candyland Castle Game and Molly LOVED it. At first she got all sorts of excited about putting the tile pieces on the appropriate gingerbread man.



Then she made up her own rules.



Molly's version consisted of grabbing a tile and RUNNING to the back hallway of the cabin where she would stash it. Then RUNNING back out to the coffee table where should would feign innocence about the location of aforementioned tile.



Molly would hold up her hands and repeat, "Where is it?" when I asked her where the tile went. Then she would bolt back to her hiding spot and grab it.



Sometimes she would bring it back in the snowball maker and ask me where it went.



All the running back n' forth would eventually tire her out which was AWESOME!

Jumping!

Coloring is a very serious activity.
