Molly is 4 months old....

Molly is 4 months old now.  We had quite the busy month with Miss Molly...at the very end of March, she was diagnosed with RSV and a double ear infection.  She was on oxygen for 5 days at home and her cold continued for about 2 weeks after she was off oxygen.  Combined with the earlier ear infection, she was sick about 1 1/2 months.  She's MUCH better now and we've started to reestablish some routines with her.  She has learned to roll from her back to her stomach and grasps at anything that is hanging in front of her.  She loves playing on the floor or in her Bumbo chair.  She recently started screaming as a form of talking, so while we chat over dinner, she usually sits in her chair, screaming along with the conversation.  Here she is talking and having fun...
 The boys are very sweet and attentive with Molly.  Owen is really a great help and sometimes keeps her entertained while I do things around the house.
 Molly is usually pretty content to play on her blanket...

I know this picture is not Molly-related, but it's too cute to ignore.  Owen is being a creature from Star Wars and Wyatt is just having fun!
 Here's a little video update of Molly's 4th month....

Our Favorite Octopus

Owen started playing soccer this spring.  His team is the "Octopus."  He is really enjoying himself.  He's not particularly aggressive on the field, but he LOVES all the running.  He has played 3 games so far, and we have 2 more to go until the end of the season.
 Last Saturday, Owen played goalie for the first time.  Thanks to Shep for all the great action shots...including this cool airplane/Owen picture!
 Owen would rather run around on the field than tend the goal, though...

 This is our favorite....the look on his face completely captures the essence of Owen.

 Wyatt and Molly enjoy the games, too....as long as the wind isn't too crazy!
