Mabel Molanphy

Uh, oh. Appar­ent­ly Mabel took after Mama…she found her voice and knows how to use it!

Wher­ev­er I go, there are the few repeat­ed com­ments (eyes, looks like a doll, so tiny, and “such a hap­py baby!”). Here are a few pho­tos of the faces that Mabel makes, that dri­ve peo­ple to com­ment on what a hap­py baby she is. Mama’s thoughts: yes, she’s a VERY hap­py baby. But, in real­i­ty, she’s a VERY well-rest­ed baby. I know that has made all the dif­fer­ence. Nor­mal­ly, she’d be grip­ping Sophie. But, we were on a walk (while some­one was view­ing our home) and I only have Max in the dia­per bag.

All these pho­tos are the smiles from some­body whistling—her cur­rent favorite!

FYI: click on each pho­to individually…you’ll see the full-size shot.

Oh, how blessed we are!! I had a prompt­ing to retrieve my video cam­era and set it up…so glad I lis­tened!!!! I got Mabel laugh­ing and squeal­ing on cam­era, then learn­ing that she could pull her­self around! She’s laughed before, but this is the first time she actu­al­ly pulled her­self any­where. What a blessing!!
