Molly at 1 Year

Molly's big one-year achievement is growing enough hair for a mohawk! We were pretty happy with her post-nap hairdo today, and we're filing this picture away in our growing collection to exhibit at her wedding reception.

Molly had her one-year check-up on Friday, and we're pleased to announce that she has gained 1 pound, 2.6 ounces since her 9-month check-up and grown almost two inches.
She's now 30 3/4 inches high and 18 pounds, 1.6 ounces. One on hand, it's nice to not have to carry around a heavy child, but we're going to have to increase our efforts at fattening her up because the doctor wants to see her back in three months.

Molly has recently taken a few steps on her own, but she's still a long way from walking (or from having enough hair for a bow, for that matter). She has perfected the shrillest shriek I have ever heard, and for those who don't believe me, I'll try to post a video clip with sound soon. We're looking forward to her future, and hopefully quieter, growth in the next three months.

We're hearing the shrieking a lot, too. Apparently it means everything from "Get me milk" to "I want cheerios." We're going to have to teach Charlotte to talk more before we all go deaf!
