Molly's First Birthday!

Molly's birthday was Wednesday, June 25. At the Walton house, tradition is to take a picture of Daddy with his birthday girl at the same time each year. When Molly was born at 2:54 p.m, we got her first picture by 3:10. And so it goes that each year at 3:10 on June 25, Daddy and Molly will be captured together in a picture! It's exciting to watch the changes each year!

After our picture, we tried having cake. Molly listened attentively as we sang "Happy Birthday" but was NOT interested in the cake! She mashed it up for a minute, but did not eat more than a tiny bite. I'm guessing it is not the worst thing if she doesn't like cake...more for Daddy!

Julian's Visit

These pictures are a little late, but I wanted to post some cute pics from when Julian stayed with us for a weekend. Sarah really enjoyed having a big brother around. They had fun together!

Random...

Here are just some random pictures... Sarah and Molly love to have tea parties on the deck at MeMe's house, Mom and Dad goofing around,
a few pics of Mommy and her girly girls, and Molly posing with her birthday present!


On a side note...we went to the doctor today for Molly's one year check up and guess what percentile she is in for height? 102%! I didn't know you could go above 100, but she is VERY tall for her age! How exciting!

Here are some recent pictures of my girls. They were big helpers at their Aunt Bridget's (Doodie's) baby shower. Sarah is very excited for Cayden to "come out of there!"

Molly's first birthday is coming up on June 25 so stay tuned for some great bday shots!

Summer Time!

Its been a while since I've written, but my girls are just as great as ever! We recently bought a bike trailer so I cart the girls around as I train with Don for the 150 mile Pedal to the Point! Sarah loves the "little car" however Molly just screams and screams! Molly's first birthday is fast approaching (June 25) and I cannot believe how fast time flies! Seeing as she is my last baby I feel like I can never hold her enough. I'm even having a hard time thinking about taking her bottle away...that's right mom - strict mom Beckie is having a hard time sticking to her plans! With Sarah, it was easy to take away formula and bottles at age one. Molly is so much more attached to that bottle than Sarah ever was, so I'm having a hard time! Sarah is pretty much potty trained...with the occasional slip up when she says "I'm so sorry about that." Molly's little personality is starting to pop - she is one feisty little thing! And boy does she know how to work a scream to get what she wants! Oh the joys of parenthood. I am cherishing each scream and potty accident because I know soon they'll be leaving for college...
