Still Loving the Weather

Morgan has been such a happy little booger since the weather warmed up a bit. She absolutely loves to be outside, and we have a hard time denying her. She goes for many a wagon ride these days and giggles her way through the neighborhood. Here are a couple of pics from time outside today.

This was Morgan's cute Valentine outfit that cousin Madison sent to us. Morgan has become a big fan of rocking chairs. We were trying to teach her to rock the baby, but she was more interested in climbing into the rocking chair, out of the rocking chair, in the rocking chair... you get the picture.

Hayes came over to play with Morgan the other night. They were not exactly cooperative for the photo session, but they are cute subjects nonetheless. Morgan was trying to feed Hayes when she was in the high chair like she does her baby doll. Too cute!

Enjoying the Weather

January was a long month. You can run out of things to do with a 1 year old in the house all day pretty fast. We are so glad to have some warmer weather for a change!

Mo's First Haircut

After sleeping till 9:30 this morning, Morgan decided it was time for her first haircut. It was really hard for me, b/c I don't want my baby girl growing up. But we decided her hair might need a little trim so that it can all grow in evenly. She behaved so much better than we imagined, and we were so proud of her. I think sitting in Daddy's lap helped the process immensely.

Where's Morgan?

Feeding the Baby

One of Morgan's favorite Christmas toys was a baby doll. She likes to pick the baby up, put her down, cover her with a blanket, and most recently "feed" her. She'll take a spoon, stick it in one of her toy kitchen pots, and then hold the spoon up the baby doll's mouth. It's so amazing to see Morgan "playing pretend". Here are some pictures of Morgan feeding the baby. Every now and then, she likes to sneak a pretend bite for herself! And she also smacks her lips like she's chewing. Too cute!

Poor Mo

Morgan woke up with a stomach bug this morning :( While I was washing ALL of her bedding, she got sleepy. So I made her a little bed on the living room floor in front of the TV. She just looked so sweet lying there, I had to take her picture. Notice Ruben next to her wanting the same set up for himself!

Cotton Bowl

Matt and I celebrated the New Year by going to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. We had a big time, and Matt is still hoarse from all the yelling at the game. Morgan stayed with her Nana and Pap in Greenwood for 5 days! We missed her dearly, but we were excited for an adult weekend. Happy late New Year everyone!

Cleveland Christmas

After celebrating in Greenwood, we moved on over for Christmas in Cleveland. Morgan had a big time, and she did great for being away from home so much. I will tell you this - Morgan is a charmer. She bonded with her boy cousins in Greenwood (see pic in previous post of Morgan with cousin Trevor), and she had a big time with her Uncle Russ and Grandfather in Cleveland. Her Grandfather isn't much for posing in pictures, but he held her probably more than anyone! We were so blessed this Christmas with family and of course presents. Thank you to all our friends and family for making our holiday such a memorable one. We love you and wish everyone a great 2009!

This is Morgan posing with BFF Bentley in matching outfits! Too cute!
This is Morgan on the way home today - pooped from all the holiday festivities!

Greenwood Christmas

We had a lovely Christmas in Greenwood this year, especially with our new addition John Reed. Mo was very intersted in the baby, and she enjoyed "petting" him. We can wait to see them in action next year. Enjoy the pictures.

School Christmas Program

Morgan played the part of cherub in her school Christmas program. It was organized chaos, but Morgan did a wonderful job. Below is one of her teachers, Ms. Ruby and classmate Kate.
