It was Morgan's 1st Christmas this year!
She received so many generous gifts and was able to spend it surrounded by family! We traveled back to LaCrosse, WI for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
Morgan met Santa for the first time and sat contently on his lap. Santa brought Morgan a nursery rhyme book that lights up and sings...she loves it!
We drove to Rosemount, MN for New Years weekend to spend time with Daddy's family. Morgan did very well in the car and spent the majority of the ride sleeping...we planned the driving around feedings and during nap/bedtime.
The latest on what little Miss Morgan is up to:
We had Miss Morgan's 4 month check-up, which included her second round of shots. She only cried when the nurse initially poked her and pretty much stopped within seconds after. Morgan is getting to be such a big girl! She is 14 lbs 14 oz. and is 23 1/3 inches long. These stats put her in the 73rd percentile for weight and 85th for height! She smiles and talks to us like you would not believe...we are still trying to figure out what she is trying to tell us, but she certainly has a lot to say! On New Years Day she rolled over from her belly to her back with a little assistance. Brad helped her position her arms and she did the rest. We continue to work on her tummy time and she holds her head up so proud! She has also started to sit in her exersaucer and is so enthralled with all the toys, lights, and sounds that surround her.
Morgan now loves to be without her diaper and has started to grab at her feet and attempts to pull them up to her mouth. She has the sweetest giggles I have ever heard and loves to be tickled. Morgan tried rice cereal for the first time January 2nd and as you can tell from the picture, she was so not impressed. We continue to try it every night, but her thoughts of it have not changed and we are pretty sure she spits more out than she actually eats.
Morgan is wearing 3-6 months clothes and even has a few things that are 6-12 months that she is pretty close to fitting in to. She no longer uses the sling in her baby bathtub and has even taken a few baths in the big tub! She seems to really enjoy bath time, which sure has changed from when she was a newborn and she would spend the entire bath screaming with her high pitched voice. Thank goodness she has outgrown that and we only hear that voice when she is really upset. If you haven't heard it...it is ear piercing! :) Morgan slept through the night last week...wasn't the case for mommy and daddy who were up 4 times checking on her :) She has continued with great night sleeping patterns and usually is up about once a night for a short feeding. Every day is such a gift with Miss Morgan and we love watching her personality take shape!
