We can't believe that Molly is now 11 months old!! There were times that we didn't think we would make it past the third week and here we are getting ready to celebrate her first birthday next month!!! Last month she figured out how to get herself around by scooting around on her bottom and pushing herself with her leg. Over the past month she has become increasingly faster and continually surprises me by sneaking up on me and sitting at my feet. I am seriously thinking of attaching a Swiffer cloth to her bottom so she can dust the floors while she scoots around! She can has been saying "Da-Da" of course for a couple of months and just recently began saying "Mom" which absolutely melts my heart! She is great at pat-a-cake and claps her little hands together when she is happy or likes something. She also likes to "high-five" now...thanks to my sister Karin for teaching her that one.
Molly and I went to Boise to visit family and friends and had a great time but missed Chad a lot. We had a great time seeing some old friends and spending time with my Mom, Dad and Karin.
Chad just celebrated his first Father's Day this past weekend and Molly and I had so much fun planning it and hope we were able to make a great memory for him. We went to the Giants game (and they actually won!) so Chad could try out his new tailgating gear...check out the picture with him in his new chairs complete with armrest coolers! The weather was perfect, we met some fun people while tailgating and couldn't have asked for a better day. Chad had the ingenious idea of closing the tailgate of the car and putting Molly in the back with some toys so she could scoot around and play while we enjoyed lunch. She LOVED it!! She was so content playing and singing and having her own space. We know this new little arrangement will be short lived as it is only a matter of time before she will have figured out how to crawl out of those situations, but it is a great fix for the time being!

I love seeing the fun times of the Collins family. Movers and Shakers! And you all look so good and happy! Thanks for the updates, Maurine! Nice outfit, Chad - FD duds? LG!
