{spring is here}

Pretty girl! Molly is such a happy baby.

Me and my girl:)

I love popsicles!

This is Molly talking...Brian and I love when she does this!

Jumping Jenny.

Yum!

She looks like she's ready to go home.

{new house}

So we've had a lot of craziness going on at the McCrady household! Last week my brother-in-law, Michael, BOUGHT our townhome!!! We really didn't think we'd be able to sell this place for at least another year or two (since they're still building more). We are extremely grateful that it worked out this way. It's amazing how God works things out. Well...not only did we sell our house, BUT we bought a house! Haha:) We've definitely been looking (mainly online) for the past year...basically dreaming:) We felt like we really had a good idea of what was out there and what we wanted. A few weeks ago we took the time to walk through some homes in the Fishers area. We found one that we absolutely loved, but it was on a 4 lane road. I remember saying, "If we could just take this house and move it to a different location it would be perfect!" So we got to the last house that day and lo and behold...it was the same house!!! To make a long story short...with a lot of prayer and Brian working his mad sales skills...we got the house!! It's still being built and should be finished sometime in June. Of course, right now we just have a purchase agreement so it's not set in stone. Hopefully, everything continues to workout the way it has been.
We feel like God has really blessed us through all of this and never want to forget that for one second.

This is a picture of what it will look like:)

And here's OUR house:) One of our favorite things about it is the large corner lot (it's really hard to find a house with a decent size yard in Fishers).

I'm sure I'll be posting more pictures of the house as it progresses. The siding and drywall went up this past week, so maybe I'll stop by and shoot a few pictures of that. The new house is only about 5 min from where we currently live, so I swing by quite a bit!

Molly will be 7 months in ONE WEEK! She's growing up so fast. We just love her more and more everyday...how is that possible?! I took her to the park the other day for a little lunch and some swinging:) She really liked the swing. She kept laughing the entire time. Of course when I tried to take a picture of her laughing she would stop.

She's still rolling all over the place. She can sit up by herself, but is so busy that she falls over pretty quickly. She wants to grab everything that's in front of her...which sometimes drives me a little crazy.

Molly's favorite thing to do lately is play peek-a-boo. We'll throw a blanket over her face and say, "Where's Molly?!" She then rips the blanket off her face and we say, "There she is!!" She thinks this is pretty hilarious! This morning she was actually pulling the blanket back over her face after I'd say, "There she is!" Then I tried to get it on videotape and of course it didn't work.

Molly's eating three meals a day now! Her favorite foods are bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and cereal with apples in it. It's a little bit of a struggle to get the green vegetables down...most of the time I end up mixing them with fruit. Yum!

Well that's it for now....here are some recent pictures of her.

{molly...6 months old}

Molly turned 6 months old on Wednesday! I can hardly believe it! At her appointment she weighed 13 lbs and 14 oz. I love her little personality...she's real laid back and happy almost all the time:) She just started taking two good naps a day...which really allows me to get some work done.

I can tell she really loves Brian these days. Her face lights up when he walks in the door. When he's around, she's constantly staring at him waiting for him to make eye contact with her. So cute! Some new things she's doing...

I started giving her a sippy cup with water the other day and was surprise at how fast she caught on.

Rolling to get to things.

"Talking" more...Brian and I can't get enough we she does this:) "Ya ya ya" is kind of what it sounds like.

She loves Lucy...always smiles and laughs when she sees her.

Standing and playing in her exersaucer.

{life these days}

Hangin out on the porch! Finally...nice weather:)

Bath time in the kitchen sink!

Drew's wedding...check out my hot husband in a tux!

Becky made Molly this towel. I LOVE IT! It's such a better quality than the hooded ones you buy. Everything is better homemade:) I think Molly likes it too...she's just not showing it in this picture.

Molly must have been playing so hard she fell asleep:)

Valentine's Day! We just stayed in and got sushi to go!

Where are Lucy's eyes?!? Hahaha. Time to get groomed!

Don't you just want to squeeze her?!?!?! AH!

I'm definitely learning how to balance being a mom and working these days. I know I'm completely blessed to have my own business. It does allow me to create my own schedule and work out of my house, but I'm finding it tough to focus with my little distraction:) Hehe! It will be interesting to see how this works once wedding season starts back up.

It looks like Spring is right around the corner!!! I'm SO EXCITED to have some nice weather! FINALLY! I introduced Molly to the outdoors last week:) I loaded her up in her stroller and went for a few walks. Of course she didn't really care...fell asleep within a few minutes! Lucy, on the other hand, LOVED IT!

{molly...5 1/2 months!}

I can't believe my little baby is almost 6 months old! Where did the time go?!?! (And the posts...haha) Hopefully I won't get that far behind on posts again...she keeps me busy:) A little update on the girl...she's now rolling over ALL the time! I actually have to keep an eye on her now...it takes only seconds for her to roll across the room! Also, she's now tried solid foods. I've been feeding her cereal and vegetables for about a month now. Molly still hasn't gotten the hang of it. Oh well:) Everything she does is just fun! I can't get enough of her:) Here are some pictures I took of her today!

{molly's dedication}

Wow! I know it's be a long time since I've posted anything. I need to do another "photo session" with Molly now that she's almost 5 months! Crazy...time is flying by:(
Brian and I are so thankful to be Molly's parents and we know that she is truly a gift from the Lord! We really wanted to make a public commitment to raise her in a home where God is first! More than anything we want Molly to grow up knowing God's love for her and it's out heart's desire that she will one day call Him her savior. Here are some pictures from her dedication! Hopefully I'll find some time to post a little update on her with some new pictures!
