Morgan had a rough day last Sunday...she didn't want to nap longer than 30 minutes, which in turn made for one fussy peanut. Come Monday at daycare, the fussiness carried right over and Miss Morgan (who doesn't skip a meal) wouldn't eat more than 1 ounce and cried unless she was sleeping. I left work early that day to take her to the pediatrician thinking she must be getting sick...turns out she is a healthy as can be! Somebody was just having a case of the Mondays. Morgan has gained almost 1 pound since her last check-up 2 weeks ago. Morgan now weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces and is in the 61st percentile for weight! After Monday night, we thought we were turning over a new leaf with Morgan's sleeping patterns...she slept 5 hours straight on Monday and 6 hours straight on Tuesday! Mommy and Daddy didn't sleep quite as sound...think we both poked our heads in her room on different occasions to make sure she was still breathing :) However, this was short lived...Wednesday night Morgan was back into her old habits and was waking every 3 hours for feedings. All in time I guess.
Yesterday we went to a friend's house to watch the Iowa State vs. Colorado football game. Morgan has officially outgrown her newborn ISU attire, so we had to improvise on a cyclone outfit. Morgan did pretty well throughout the game and even ate 3 ounces out of a bottle from Daddy! We are trying to work on bottle feeding on the weekends in hopes that come Monday at daycare, she does better for our daycare provider.
Miss Morgan continues to coo and smile more each day! We have been taking some videos of her "talking" to us, which I will try to post at some point. In the mean time, here is the still life shot:
We have also started a bedtime routine which consists of playing up until 7:00pm, then bath time, stories at 7:15, eating at 7:30, and rocking at 8:00pm until she falls asleep. The routine seems to be going well so far and we can only hope that it carries over into her toddler years :) As of this morning we tested out the Bumbo seat...Morgan loves facing forward to check out everything that is happening around her and has been spending a lot of time on her tummy strengthening her neck muscles so we gave it a shot to let her sit on her own and she did fantastic!
We are looking forward to Thursday night of this week. Auntie Kimmy and Uncle Joey are flying into Des Moines for the Kish Family Thanksgiving. Grandma, Papa, Auntie Sara, Uncle John, and cousins Trevor and Justin will all be in town on Friday! We have a lot to get done before everyone arrives so this week will be a busy one. We also have Morgan's 3 month pictures coming up in the next week or two, so have been busy shopping online for the perfect outfits! Baby Gap has the cutest stuff and that store could see a lot of our money in the future...just don't tell Daddy ;) tee hee...kidding of course honey :)
