GO STATE!
Success! We pulled off a few hours of tailgating and Morgan did fantastic! She was decked out from head to toe in her cyclone gear. We had a great time! Daddy did most of the work this year preparing for the tailgate and doing the official set-up of the tent once we got to the parking lot while Morgan and Mommy stayed in the car as Morgan slept. We didn't end up going into the game, but we did listen to it on the radio and the cyclones pulled off the win...27-0 against UNI. Not sure if we will make another game this year...it will all depend on the weather for the rest of the season.

Daddy and Morgan have been working on tummy time and to all of our surprise, she seems to enjoy it in small doses!
This week we are going to try to start taking walks. I think we will try just Morgan and I to start, but the intention is to get the dogs to walk with us too. Should be a sight ;) We will post soon!

Miss Morgan is 1 Month Old!
Tomorrow is a big milestone for Miss Morgan...she turns 1 month! Where has the time gone?! Everything continues to go well and though there hasn't been any official weigh-ins, Morgan looks like she is putting on the lbs. Her cheeks are proof as they jiggle when you walk her around or when she rides in the car.
This past week was the first week of just Morgan and Mommy being home. Things are going really well and we have spent most of our time indoors getting into a routine and balancing the feedings/sleepings. Morgan had her first "real" bath last week and actually seemed to enjoy it.
We have been spending her awake time playing with the gym mat and sitting in the boppy pillow or the bouncer.
We have been awaiting the arrival of her new lamb swing that Grandma and Papa purchased for her...it came yesterday and Daddy put it together last night...seems to be a hit! Morgan sat in it last night contently and again this morning! :) We made a trip to the grocery store today...not the best outcome...after about 10 minutes in the store, Mommy and Morgan headed to the truck while Daddy finished the shopping. Morgan started the shopping asleep and ten minutes later upon waking, she decided she had enough of being in her car seat and cried nonstop until I took her out. Lesson learned that these trips need to wait a few more weeks. This is the before picture:
Tomorrow we are going to attempt our first family tailgate if the weather holds out. We will be using the baby bjorn for the first time as well, so many "firsts" for tomorrow...I will keep you posted on how it all goes...wish us luck, I think we are going to need it :) Go CYCLONES!

Our new addition!
We have decided to create a blog to keep everyone posted on our newest addition! My goal is to update the page once a week, so check back often to see what Morgan has been up to!
Morgan Mary Hottinger arrived on August 28th, 2010 at 4:39pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 4.4 oz. and was 20 inches long. She is a very content little girl...well, that is until she is ready to eat and then you can't get her food fast enough :) Morgan has been keeping us very busy and has started to work us into "her" routine. She will sleep in two hour increments at this point and on a rare occasion she will go three hours. We have made a few trips out of the house, which entailed her very first shopping spree with her mommy and grandma to Target and Kohls! We had a blast and see many more of those to come...poor daddy...I think he can see the dollar signs associated with having a little girl :)
The dogs have taken well to Morgan and will follow us from room to room to help out with feedings and diaper changes. Guessing they can't wait until Morgan is old enough to feed herself and them :) Another big adventure of Morgan's was her very first ISU football game last week! The cyclones pulled off the win for their first game, but no such luck for the game this past Saturday. Either way, we look forward to many more games to come and possibly some tailgating too!
