Morgen's 8 months old!



Morgen was 8 months old on Tuesday, the day JaCee had her thumb surgery. She got to spend the day with Grandma Candee who was so nice & came to town to stay with her so we didn't have to drag her to the hospital before sunrise.

Morgen's had some pretty big accomplishments this month. She learned how the sippy cup works. FINALLY. That took a lot of work. She can now go from laying or crawling position to sitting up. It's the curtest thing to get her from her crib if she's crying & she's sitting up. I love it! Tears & all. She's not crawling yet, but she's up on all 4's & will take 1 or 2 lunges forward before plopping back down on her tummy. If she really wants something, she army crawls to get to it. Her top 2 teeth are just poking through. The right one is through now so I can feel it with my fingers. The left one is just poking through the to where I can see it below the skin. The result? A very fussy baby. She hasn't been this fussy since we've had her...poor thing. She's still not sleeping through the night. Randomly she will do it, but more times than not...she's up 2x's! And she's starving. She downs a bottle & is back asleep. She's not awake playing, etc. just plain hungry. I started feeding her table foods this week. She - LOVES - it! Green beans, bakes beans, cottage cheese, peaches, pears, anything she can feed herself with she is loving it! She loves watching JaCee. Usually JaCee is with me when I get Morgen up in the morning but if JaCee's not, I can barely hold her in my arms she lunging around looking on the ground for JaCee & when she can't find her she looks at me if to say where is she? So cute.

Morgen is still a very big baby. Doesn't look like that trend is going to stop. She's currently wearing 12-18 month clothes. And size 3 shoes. I got out some shoes the other day thinking she's in the little soft sole NB shoes...nope...wrong. I had to go get out the big tennis shoes. I weighed her at home a couple weeks ago & she was 21.6 lbs. We now have a car seat dilemma on our hands....and will probably have to purchase a new one here in the next few weeks. I was hoping she would stay in her infant car seat until she's 1 & we could move her to the one we had JaCee in, but it doesn't appear that is going to work.

Here she is in all her cuteness!
