The last few weeks have been stressful and hectic. We sold and closed on our Bountiful home. As we walked away for the last time it was a bit emotional. I am glad we are now living on our permanent home and will not have to move again. When I was single I lived so many places that I have lost track, sometimes moving 3 or more times a year. I am glad to be home for good.
Molly is growing up fast and I feel like I am missing out on recording the moments. She has started talking. The other day she was sitting in the highchair at the Badger Ranch and as clear as can be arched her back and said, “stuck, stuck”. My dad was there and it was so cute to hear. She also says milk, momma, dada, and go, go.. I am loving it. She has also developed quite the personality the last few weeks. There is a little feisty in her. Last night she didn’t want to go to be. I asked her and she shook her head multiple times and said, “no, no” . It was so funny.
When Sophie is not around Molly is much more brave at walking. This morning Sophie went into her room and Molly wanted to follow. She walked from the base of our bed almost to the door.
We are teaching Sophie to always say please and thank you. Molly has begun to imitate Sophie so guess what she did tonight… I handed her a doll and out of the blue she said, “Thank you”. So fun to hear her talking.
Sophie also said something cute the other day. Daniel, the girls and I were driving and I told Sophie, “I love you girl, girl.” Then said, “Are you Mommy’s girl”. She responded, “No, daddy’s” it made us both laugh. Sophie had also started signing like an opera singer climbing up on the fireplace and throws her arms back poses and just sings. She has also just learned Book of Mormon stories with the actions. So fun to watch.
Sophie is constantly saying “I do it”. She is very independent and loves to wash her hands, go outside, put her shoes on herself and climb everything. With a stool she can get into anything.
I am happy to spend time with them and am lucky to be their mother.
