Nine months is three-quarters of a year. Seventy-five cents is three-quarters of a dollar. Get it?

Anyway Molly is nine months old today! Very, very exciting.

It's been a stretch of birthdays for us, and it's not over yet. Going back a week and a half we had UJ's birthday, Erin's mom last Friday, Erin last Saturday, Molly today, and on Sunday Dublin turns six (or 42 in dog years). And Gavin now seems to be at the age where his friends are having real birthday parties, so amidst these two weeks of family birthdays we're mixing in birthday parties for two friends.

And obviously I am not forgetting about Mother's Day. I even got my cards already. And considering last year I had to ask Erin to wait in the car while I ran into the mall - on Mother's Day - to buy her gift, I am way ahead of the curve.

Molly got some shots yesterday: two in each leg. It was her six month vaccine. I seem to remember she was scheduled for them around her six month birthday, but she was sick and had to postpone them. She took it like a pro and, according to Erin, only cried later. It was probably one of those things where the doctor pushed the needle, and then they looked at her in stunned silence waiting for a response. Then, when she noticed they were staring at her waiting for a response, she started to cry.

Doctor said her lungs sound clear. She weighs 11 lb 10 oz with her diaper on.

Starting Monday she will have two sessions a week with her OT.
