Bath time

Yesterday we had a little incident with some explosive poop while we were heading home from Dupont. Fortunately, Louie was able to get us in the car so we didn't have to walk all the way home. Here's Mollie all cleaned up once we got home.

Week 5 - more pictures

As I mentioned below, we were missing a couple of pictures from last week. Here's one of Mollie with Bonnie and one of her with Mara and Mara's +1. Mollie spent a good part of the afternoon listening to the baby in Mara's belly, which made all of us smile.

Mollie's first picnic

Last weekend a lotta Lauters came to meet Mollie and to attend the annual AIPAC policy conference. The weather was awesome, so we took Mollie on her first picnic. Somewhere there's a group shot with everyone, but here are some of my favorites from Great Uncle Sam's camera.

Mollie just got her first sunhat. I'm not sure why it's on backwards, but it definitely has plenty of room for growing.
Mollie with her great aunt Stephanie.

If this doesn't make you go "awww" there might be something wrong with you...

Mollie with her great Aunt Debbie. Mollie LOVED sucking on Debbie's pinky.

Week 5

Here's a picture of Mollie from last night after her visit with Andy, Claire and Auntie Margie. Doesn't she look happy and relaxed? We couldn't find the camera to document the visit, but we'll get a group shot today as we head to check out the kites and the cherry blossoms on the mall.

This week Mollie met Auntie Margie. It was love at first sight, despite Mollie's crying hysterically the entire way home from Dulles airport. She's lucky her Aunt still wanted to play with her after that. This week they've had a lot of time to get to know one another and Mollie loves having Margie around. We tried to convince Margie to move in and be Mollie's nanny, but so far, we cannot get her to commit. We won't stop trying though.
This is how Mollie felt about the Huskies losing in the tournament this week.
We also had a visit from Reuben, Daniel and Bonnie. Here's Daniel striking a pose. He was very helpful and kept giving Mollie pacifiers - he's going to be a great big bro. I think Reuben got a picture of Bonnie and Mollie that I will have post later.

Here's one of Mollie doing what she does best - sleeping.

And last but not least - a sleepy smile during her visit with Nana.

Photo shoot

Aunt Elana came over last week and took some photos of Mollie all dressed up in her party dress (lovingly provided by Auntie Megan). Here is one of my favorites

Mollie is 1 month old!

Mollie is one month old today. Louie and I cannot believe it's already been a month. We also cannot believe how much she's grown! Yesterday she went to the pediatrician for her one month check up. She weighs 11 lbs 2 oz and is 23 inches long.

This week she met some more members of the Lauter family, including Great Aunt Debbie and cousins Shoshi, Rachel, and Matt. How did Matt not end up in the photo?
She also met her great grandmother Naomi.
Last weekend our friends Sam, Sanam, and Margaret were kind enough to bring us dinner and great company. We had a lovely time having some grown up interaction and they had a great time meeting Mollie, until she turned into a screaming meanie at the end of their visit :(
And here's a picture of our baby girl taking a nap. I just thought it was cute.
