iPhone pics

I have been taking a lot of pics on my iPhone lately while Molly and I are out and about. Some of my favorites are:

Molly at her first Sharks game:


Molly at Little Gym:


One of the rare instances when Molly let me put her hair up (it was super windy):


Relaxed dad and Molly out to dinner:


Molly rocking daddy's hat:


It appears Molly has finally gotten over her sand phobia:


Give them the big eyes baby!


Sharing with daddy (whether he likes it or not):


Molly's favorite mode of transportation:


The rest can be found in the iPhone pics gallery (in reverse chronological order). Remember, the iPhone has a slow shutter speed and these are pictures of a toddler that likes to move... they are going to be blurry.

Feel like makin'...

BUBBLES!!!

Molly is charging me with the bubble gun.

Mommy's little helper.

She insisted on carrying all through the store and out to the car too.

"Ahhh, this cabin is just right..."

Nope, Goldilocks didn't make a visit... a bear did. Yup, a big ol' brown bear made himself at home in our cabin. Thankfully no one was there at the time. Our friend Will borrowed the cabin last weekend and was greeted with quite the mess.

This is the inside of the side door... where we believe our furry friend entered the premises.



His goal? Food!



Luckily our furry invader was not a drinker and left the vodka behind.



I am most impressed with the fact that he got the lid off the pet food container. It's one that you spin several times to get an air tight seal. It doesn't look like there's a scratch on it.

Thanks again Will for cleaning up!

First (official) hair cut

On Monday Molly got her first (official) hair cut. Well, her first actual hair cut was back when she was 9 months old. I had my brow lady take some length off the back as part of Operation: Less Mullet-Like. I still have the two inch pony tail. However, this was Molly's first official hair cut in an actual kid's hair salon. Based on the recommendation of a few friends we went to Balloon Cuts just after they opened. I've heard it can be nuts on the weekend, but luckily we were able to walk right on back.

Molly was not a fan.

First, she was not having anything to do with the smock the lady tried to put on her. Freaked out at the very thought so it was put away. Then she acted as though the water in the spray bottle was toxic and burning her when her bangs were spritzed. She really was quite dramatic about the whole thing. My laughter probably did not help matters, but she was so over the top I couldn't help myself.



So, out came a Cliff Bar and ta-da! Everything was magically fine. She still fussed a bit here and there as her hair was pinned up in sections, but for the most part was fine with the rest of the hair cut. She explored all the buttons and levers on the little jeep she was "driving" and only tried to bat the scissors and comb away a few times.



Molly also complained that she was "Dirty" when her OWN hair got all over her shirt and pants. Hey, you're the one that didn't want to wear the smock Missy!



Molly ended up with some trimmed bangs, tapering down the sides, and a little over an inch taken off the back. The girl next to her (who was VERY well behaved) walked out with a super cute bob and I think that might be next. Miss Molly USED to let me put her hair up in pig tails or back in a ponytail, but no more. Now if I try to do anything with her hair she will rip it out... even if it takes a good chunk of her own hair with it. With summer approaching I'm worried about her getting overheated as her hair goes halfway down her back. If she doesn't let me cut it I think we might have to get a bob for summer. I've already mentioned to N that Molly is close to her own hair donation.

This does not amuse N.

Still, Miss Molly is prone to overheating so we might have to go short for the summer. We'll see.

Ketchup

Molly is done with her hot dog and is currently eating straight ketchup. That's totally normal, right?

Hey, at least she's using her fork and not her fingers. That has to count for something.

Deep in thought.

Contimplating life... or which slide to take... it's a tough call.

And a happy Monday to you...

Molly's giving me the bird.

Tasty end to a good weekend.

Telephone!

"Daddy telephone. Mommy's taking pictures on the telephone."
