Dear Molly,

Last week I opened an email account for you.  I thought it was a good idea to get you one with your name before too many more Mollys come in to the world and take all the good email accounts!  Well this week Auntie Jules has convinced me to write a blog for you as well - you know what she's like ; ).  That way one day you can look back at these posts and it will be like a baby book for you.  I've tried to get my head around a scrapbook and a journal and all the traditional things that people create for their children, but let's face it, I'm still working on the one scrapbook that I started several years ago and you're four months old and the baby blanket I was knitting you is sitting half finished in a bag in my closet (I'm sorry hunny, I will try and finish it so your can use it for a doll one day!)

You are now 17 weeks old and I can't believe how fast the time is flying!  Right now you are sleeping in your swinging chair (as much as I love you I would like to kiss the person who created this chair, you love it and often fall to sleep in it so I can get a few things done) I have to admit, when you're awake I'm not very good at leaving you alone.  You are too cute and fun to play with! 

For the last few nights you have finally been sleeping in your own room.  You were in our room in a moses basket for awhile but Grandma was losing her mind with worry so I moved you to the playpen a couple weeks ago. (She thought you were going to roll out, although you aren't rolling quite yet). Now are have spent the last four nights in your own room and seem to sleep nicely in there. Well, in truth, last night went well...the previous nights were a bit sketchy but I think we're getting the hang of it.
I have been enjoying my maternity leave with you so much! I love seeing how much you change every day and you are such a good baby!! We have already taken you out for lunch and dinner quite a few time and away on trips. We've gone to the farm, the cottage, Toronto, and Cobourg so far. You don't seem to mind sleeping in different places. It's nice because Daddy and I love going away on the weekend. And of course we always want you to come with us (besides the fact that I'm breast feeding so if you didn't come with us it would be hard for you to eat, you are not a big fan of the bottle at this point!)
 
Well I think I need to go sweet girl, you just woke up and it seems to me that you would like to hang out!!  I will try and write to you as often as I can. 
 
Love Mommy xoxo
