Showing 1

I have been working with Morgan one her counting skills. We have mastered the number 1. You can tell in this video that I ask her all the time. She doesn't even look at me when she responds! :) Practice and Repeat...that's how they get it!

ENJOY!

January 4th - February 4th

FIVE MONTHS OLD!

Morgan started saying "Da Da", sleeping on her stomach, and holding her own bottle. Morgan started rolling over on Christmas Eve...only a couple times, then she really got it down this month! Morgan also started to sit up on her own. The Bumbo seat is amazing!

In this first picture Morgan just finished eating and was SO happy...I think she was happy because she had made such a mess!

Here is Morgan and my mom at Zach's first soccer game. It was VERY windy and cold that day!

Our outfit choices this month are Morgan's Cardinal sweatshirt from Uncle Scott, her "Little Sister" shirt from The Kings, a cute little jean dress, her Barbie bib from my mom, and a little pair of Nike's and her pink slippers.

December 4th - January 4th

This month was a month of new things! Morgan had her first taste of cereal and veggies this month. When we took her to the doctor for her 4 month check up she weighed 14lbs. 2.5oz. We took Morgan to see A LOT of Christmas lights this month as we celebrated her first Christmas. She even got to meet Santa for the first time, and did great while getting her picture taken. This first picture is of Morgan and Zach.

Morgan and I at the Litchfield Park Christmas light show. We went with our friends Brent and Julie along with their kids.

We went to a Christmas Palooza event with our friends Lisa and Christie. The kids got to see Santa fly in on a helicopter. Morgan was just fascinated by all the people here.

Here is our pick of clothes for this month. My mom got her a Santa hat made that has her name on it and she also got her first pair of Santa boots. We celebrate Christmas Eve at church with our family and friends and Morgan wore her Christmas dress. On Christmas day Shawn, Zach, Morgan and I all had matching shirts that said Ho Ho Ho. What a great Christmas we had with our little Princess. I can't wait to celebrate this year!

Three months November 4th to December 4th

Morgan turned 3 months old in November. We started the month out with another family photo shoot. We celebrated our friend Tatum's birthday, and Morgan was able to see my cousins Michael, Michelle, and Schylar. Shawn and I took Morgan to get her ears pierced just before Thanksgiving. We celebrated Thanksgiving day up north in Happy Jack with Shawn's family and then Friday down here with my family. Morgan also, started working on rolling over this month.

Our outfits for this month consist of Morgan's first Thanksgiving outfit, with bib and burper. Then an outfit from Old Navy...a little pink tank with a Princess Crown on it and a little pair of jean shorts.

Month 3: October

Morgan turned two months old in October. Morgan starting sleeping through the night this month, but it was VERY short lived because she started waking back up and it took us another couple of months for it to become an every night thing. We celebrated Morgan's first Halloween with my Mom. My dad and Shawn both had to work that night and were not home in time for Trick or Treating.
We spent a lot of time with or friends. This is Belle, Alyssa, Ariana, and Morgan.

This was our first family photo shoot. Our friend and photographer took these at a golf course near Boswell Hospital.

The outfits I picked out for this month include her Halloween costume, a Halloween burper that my mom made, her little blue dress that i received from one of my baby showers, and a little onesie from my mom that says "Grandma loves (and spoils) me." Which is sooo true! My mom just loves her so much, that no matter where she is, she always finds something for Miss Morgan.

Month 2: September (Post for Saturday July 25th)

During September we did a lot of traveling back and forth from our home up north. Shawn was already working down here, so we were using our home in Happy Jack as a get-a-way. The first picture is of Morgan on her first camping trip. My parents went camping down the road from where our house was, so we stayed at the house, but came to visit my parents and all their friends. This month I was also going to start going back to work a few days a week. I was going to substitute teach for a principal that I used to work for. Two days into the job Morgan caught her first cold and I decided that I was done working for now...I needed to stay home with her. I also had to give up nursing at this time. I developed an infection and ALL my milk dried up. At Morgan's 1 month check up she weighed 10lbs. 5oz. She was definitely not starving! :)



Morgan used to ALWAYS sleep with her hands by her face...it was like she was hiding from the light!

Here are a few dresses that were our favorites. The polka dot one will be used on her quilt that my mom is making.

The first year...

Today begins our 12 day countdown until Miss Morgan turns one. Each day until her birthday I will post a few pictures and some memories that represent each month of Morgan's first year.

MONTH 1:
Morgan was born on August 4, 2008 at 3:47p.m. She weighed 8lbs. 11oz and measured 20 1/4inches. I went into the hospital to be induced on Sunday evening at 10:00p.m. My labor was quite easy, as everything was planned. My original due date was August 17th...but as you can see from her weight I needed to have her early. During the first month of Morgan's life I was able to breastfeed her. This was an amazing time for me. Morgan went to her very first football game when she was only 3 1/2 weeks old. The Denver Broncos were here and they played the Cardinals...so yes, we all HAD to go! Morgan also experienced the mall in the first month of her life and we also took a few trips up north to Happy Jack where our home, at the time, was.

Here are a few of our favorite outfits from the first month. The white outfit is what Morgan wore home from the hospital. We came home around bedtime, so I just put her in her pajamas. Then of course her Denver outfit for the game. And lastly...her little pink shorts with brown polka dots and brown tank from my cousin. I also put her very first flip flops in there.
