Getting bolder

Yesterday we took a half-hour drive to my office to drop off some paperwork and introduce Molly to my coworkers. We kept the visit brief and she slept the entire time, including the drive both ways. Yay! It's the farthest she's traveled from home yet.

When we got back the weather was so beautiful -- 64 degrees and sunny -- that Molly and I went for a walk around our neighborhood with the stroller.

That was the only long quiet stretch in an otherwise active day. Molly was awake most of the morning and then from about 3:30 p.m. until around 10, mostly eating and filling diapers and fussing! (What else do babies do, right?) Must be another growth spurt. The crying just makes
her little smiles all the more fantastic. (We've been trying very hard to get a picture but the camera's never fast enough).

Here's Molly this morning "playing with" a stuffed elephant given to her by a coworker. She's not really interested in toys yet, so it was pretty exciting that this caught her eye.

Nice how you sort of figure things out as you go, huh? She's looking bigger already. Can't wait to see her again -- and you both as well, of course ;)
