New post, REALLY!

Dear blogging world, its been so long! The thought of catching up on all the details of the last 6 months makes me want to faint, so I will just hit the highlights. First and foremost I FINALLY finished my stinking degree hooray!!! Thats right blogging folk, I am officially a doctor now so if anyone ever yells, "Is there a doctor in the house?" I am now obligated to stand up and offer my fluting skills.
Mostly this degree makes me happy because I never have to pay tuition to ASU ever again EVER!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!! Did I mention that this means NEVER EVER??!!! Other than that, my doctorhood doesn't really have any bearing on our daily lives. I like to think that Molly appreciates my newfound smartiness, but I think she loves me mostly because I feed her.

Aside from my graduation, all our other milestones revolve around our sweet little baby girl. Molly is about to turn 8 months old and she continues to be pure joy in little girl form. She has two little teeth, she sits up by herself, rolls over and recently has started to scoot around on her belly. She smiles and laughs all the time and LOVES to snuggle. I spend most of my day trying to not to squeeze her too hard, she is SO cute to me! So far I think she is going to be a chatterbox and a little social butterfly. Her favorite thing to do is be around other kids. She basically freaks out with excitement when she sees other babies, and I actually think she said her first word last week: mama. I wouldn't really count it, but I was teaching a flute lesson and my student, her mother and sister all agreed that she was definitely saying to me. I may be stretching that one a bit...She is still trying to learn how to sleep through the night. She has good days and bad days. In fact any sleep advice from seasoned mothers would be greatly appreciated...
I could talk about Molly all day long, but for the sake of the blogging world I will wrap it up. I love love love her!!!!

She is just so adorable! Congrats, Dr. McCabe on finishing. I hope you never have to help anyone medically with your fluting skills... I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make it. Brandon's economics skills won't be much help either. Sorry Molly is still not perfect at night. But she seems perfect during the day. Do you play music for her? My kids all fall asleep to music. Still. So I'm not sure it's the best solution, but it helped keep me sane.

Congratulations Dr. Angela!!! We are so proud of you!! And so glad we got to see you when you came down for graduation! Molly is SO cute! I can't get over it! Love her!! My sister-in-law was telling me about this sleep book. Said it changed their life--their babe now sleeps 12 hours straight through the night! http://www.amazon.com/Healthy-Sleep-Habits-Happy-Child/dp/0449004023. Might be worth a shot! Good luck!

Three cheers for Dr. Angela! Now could you give me some flute lessons? Your Molly is SO CUTE! Those eyes are amazing! As far as sleep goes, we are meanies and let the kid cry for quite a while before we go get them. Each kid sleeps differently, though, and with my second it took a lot longer before he slept deeply all night. I think when he hit a year he started to sleep through noises and disruptions.
