Molly climbed into a chair in our bedroom this morning all by herself, and refused to get out of it. She stayed there for almost 30 minutes being as cute as she could be. With the natural light from a nearby window like a giant white box, and with Molly wearing a cute little outfit that Grandma bought for her birthday it quickly dawned on me that this was a great photo moment.

Downloaded to my computer and had a real quick adjustment in Lightroom with very little changes required because the exposure (Manual, f/2.2 at 1/60th and 800iso) was perfect. Uploaded to my Website using Lightroom’s Web Module.

I think Molly gets cuter and more interesting every day. Daddy cleaned out mommy’s car this weekend, adjusted the straps in Molly’s car seat and switched from its rear-facing position to face forward. Needless to say, Molly was in Wonderland with all the new things to look at while riding in the car. She made some of the goofiest sounds, it was cracking me up! Cami tried to capture them in the video. I don’t think the video is as funny as the actual event, but it’s worth sharing anyways.

Today is Molly’s 1st Birthday

Our precious little Molly Jane turned 1 today. She means the world to my wife and I, and has to be the most beautiful baby we have ever seen in our lives! (Not kidding!) But more than the good looks that she (obviously) inherits from her mom, we are so thankful today for God’s blessings. For those who are just starting to read my blog, Molly was born with a rare form of children’s cancer called Wilms Tumor. We feel extremely lucky that it was caught so early, and that we live in an age and time when advanced surgery can completely remove her cancer (and her kidney) so she can live a completely normal life. In the last year we have heard of other familys who have less fortunate experience with Wilms, and our heart goes out to them. We are thankful every single day, and surprised by the little personlity that Molly has grown into. We are also thankful for all the friends and family who have supported us with their thoughts and prayers and concerns. In spite of the challenges, our lives are enriched by the love and beauty and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Molly got her first chair. A cute pink velvet one from Target. She loved it, and we enjoyed watching her play with it as much as she enjoyed climbing all over it. Here are a few pics.
