Almost One!

Wow! Have we been slackers or what? In all fairness we had a wedding to plan and a baby to raise, so blogging took a back seat. Now that the wedding has come and gone (yay for being married!) we can stay on top of the blog and keep y'all up to date on our family.

Molly is just a week shy of 11 months! I can't even believe it. Just looking back through our old posts and seeing all the pregnancy pictures is crazy. Time really does fly. So where is Molly now? I'll try to keep this short!

She has 2 teeth and every day I think she's going to get another one... she's teething like crazy. She says "mama" and "dada" and I'm pretty sure she's trying to say "doggy." She LOVES dogs! She points at everything and waves to everyone. She likes dancing, talking (or screaming), laughing, fake coughing, blowing kisses, reading books, snuggling and smiling. Molly is oh-so close to walking... she can stand on her own for a fairly long time, but she hasn't quite taken those steps on her own. However, when she holds our hands she zooms around!

She is signing milk and all done. Her favorite food is banana. She also enjoys cheese, peas, carrots, corn, crackers and yogurt melts. Her favorite toys change on a daily basis but she gravitates towards soft stuffed animals, especially her stuffed bunny, 'Lil Peanut, that she sleeps with every night.

Molly is such a joy and I love spending every waking minute with her. She makes us laugh so hard with her silly antics.

Now for an update on us grownups (if you care!): Ben accepted a job at an internet startup, Pure Matters, this summer. He does a little bit of everything there... product management, content management, merchandising consulting, development... should I go on? He really enjoys it and the people he works with are great!

I started my own business this summer, Noms by Nikki, and am constantly busy in the kitchen baking up lots of goodies. I absolutely love it! I also freelance write about all things health-related for Pure Matters along with maintaining my own blog, NoVa Mom Blog. Now that I'm done planning our wedding I am keeping busy with Molly's birthday party plans and prettying up our condo! I love staying home with Molly and being my own boss. :)

I'm looking forward to keeping y'all up to date on our crazy lives! Now where did we leave off?
