Week 37 - Happy Halloween! and First Week at a New Day Care

Last weekend we celebrated Halloween by going to a little party at our neighborhood Tot Lot.

Here's Mollie's friend Louisa dressed up as Nemo.

Auntie Margie was a great sport and came along for the party. There was a firetruck and an ambulance to entertain the older kids. Mollie was interested in the buttons.
Nana and Pop-pop also came to help our little Hot Ta-Mollie celebrate her first Halloween (well, outside the belly, last year she was a basketball, but that now seems like a distant memory).

After Halloween, our week got a bit rough. Mollie was very grumpy, we think because she was teething. She had a low grade fever for a few days and was not sleeping for more than 30 minutes at a time. She also started a new day care this week. The combination of teething, separation anxiety and a new routine proved a bit disastrous for our household Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday night we thought had an ear infection. Rather than go to the pediatrician, we brought her to House Calls on the Hill - this AMAZING nurse service on capitol hill. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who lives in the DC area. We brought Mollie there at 7:15 pm and left at 7:40 with confirmation that she did not have an ear infection (and maybe was a bit spoiled by her grandparent daycare) and with some motrin. All for a very reasonable price! As of Thursday, she is loving daycare and her caregiver, Miss Esther. She seems to be settling into the new routine really well.

Here are a few more random pictures. Mollie watching Dora the Explorer and eating her shoe.
Mollie's best sticker from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear - it says "Birth Control Matters" in case you can't read it here.
And here's the crazy outfit Louie selected for Mollie to wear under her costume. She knew it was no good.
