Meet Molly

Our beloved Meghan passed away just before Christmas, and she is much missed. We adopted a new dog, a 13-month old that we named Molly. She fits right into the family. She came from a puppy mill and needs a lot of love and attention to get over former neglect, but we know she'll get it from us. The SPCA called her a terrier mix, but we think she might be a schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle mix). Either way, she is a sweetheart and Caterpillar Girl enjoys having her around.

Working Out

Caterpillar Girl joined a gymnastics class at the YMCA a few weeks ago. Right from the start, she loved the freedom of crawling in the large space, pulling up on the beams, bouncing on the trampoline, and watching the other tiny gymnasts.

Plus, she turned out to be a showoff. At the first class, she was being shown how to get off a high mat on her belly. We had been practicing getting off the couch for a few weeks so she plopped right down impressing all the other mommies.

The past three days, she has been letting go of furniture and taking a few toddling steps, so this past week she zipped all over the gym with their walker, causing more gasps. She laughs and sparkles at all the attention.
