#15 - Mollie

Thankful Challenge #15 - Just a few short weeks after Kinsley and Madison turned three, Lee and I received the surprising news that Zehmer Baby #3 was on her way!  We have called Mollie our "Bonus Baby" ever since, and we are so thankful that God proved the doctors wrong when he decided we needed one more little one in our family!

As a baby, Mollie was very observant.
She didn't cry much, and she took in everything around her.

Being a third child and the baby of the family myself, I know there are certain perks that come with being the baby!  I loved every minute of Mollie's babyhood and toddler years because I didn't have to split my attention between two little ones and I knew that Mollie would be our last baby.  We spent lots of time rocking, snuggling, and playing!

Mollie was a major climber as a toddler.  Nothing
was out of reach for her!

If I were asked to describe Mollie in one word, I would describe her as "joyful". Mollie loves people and fun, and she thoroughly enjoys good times! If there is a party happening, Mollie is usually right in the middle of it!

Besides home, Mollie's favorite place on earth is K-Kountry,
the camp she goes to in Missouri.  She is a "blob queen"
there because she can stay on it for hours!

It really is true that "They don't stay little forever!"  Our baby is growing up much faster than we would like very quickly! Just as with her sisters, we are so excited to see all God has in store for Mollie, and we plan to enjoy every minute we have with her while she is still at home!
