I think this is way overdue but life has really gotten in the way of my e-mails (along with other things). Work told me I had to come back full time or quit. It really was a hard decision but in these crazy times I know I should feel lucky to have a job and just did not think I should let it go just yet. So a couple of weeks ago Molly started going to child care. She goes three days a week and spends the other days with Raymond. Of course during week two…….she got sick so she spent the second week at home with myself or Raymond. My goodness I was miserable (I can only imagine how poor Molly felt), this was the second time she has gotten sick but it lasted over a week! I am sure this is just the beginning of sleepless nights during sick times but I don’t recall ever being so tired (yes, I got more sleep in Iraq then I did when she was sick). As of today, she is feeling better and we are just dealing with a runny nose.
My girl is really growing and we are able to do more things with her. I can’t believe she is already 9 months old? Where has the time gone and why is all this weight still on me? IT IS 9 MONTHS ALREADY, can I still use that “I just had a baby” excuse?
We went to go see Santa for the first time and she screamed. Did not want anything to do with him, so she took one picture and we moved on. I wish I could attach the picture here because it really is quite cute, you will just have to trust me. We did not do anything special for Christmas because Raymond had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we plan to celebrate Christmas tomorrow and open presents then. I will take advantage of it this year because I don’t think we will get away with it in the future.
Of course with having Molly, I have had to learn a lot of things and one lesson came a couple weeks ago. You can’t turn your back for even a minute. Everyone knows this but I am hard headed and what can she possibly get into in the time it takes me to use the restroom?

The picture does not really show the Vaseline on her face and hair. Have you ever washed Vaseline out of hair? It take quite a few washings before the oiliness is totally gone (just FYI).
I know I feel very blessed this year and life is so much better with Molly in it. I hope this year that you have had as many blessing as mine and of course many, many more in 2009!
