Morgan Elisabeth

Masked Princess

2009-05-11T12:39:00.000-07:00

I went to the hospital on Friday because I was having a hard time breathing, and I was coughing like crazy. We found out I was having an asthma attack because of my bad, bad allergies! I was such a gooooood girl the whole time I was getting checked over by the doctors. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me. Since I was so good, I even got some new cars to drive around!! And, who else besides me could make a mask look so stinkin cute??

Allergies

2009-04-18T10:11:00.000-07:00

Can you tell how miserable my allergies are making me?? Thank goodness for benadryl!!!

I Have Churries on My Dress!

2009-04-18T08:08:00.001-07:00

I'm all clean, and have pretty red churries on my dress.... how do you like them?

Cuteness

2009-04-17T10:41:00.001-07:00

I thought I'd share some of my cuteness at the park to hold you off until Mommy puts all of my fun Easter pictures up on my blog. I found out I am going to my new preschool in August. I am so excited. I will learn so many new things, and will make new friends. :o)

Uptown Girl

2009-03-26T18:28:00.000-07:00

Mommy and I had to wait in the car while Daddy got his hair cut... so we decided to bust a move. Coley was in the car with us, and when he barked at a stranger, I thought it warranted my attention and help. So, the dancing came to a quick halt while I helped my furry brother scare off the stranger. Thank goodness we were mean enough and it worked (cuz the guy wasn't standing there laughing his head off or anything)

*P.S. sorry this is sideways, but Mommy had to do it like that to get all of my rockin moves.

This Little Piggy

2009-03-26T18:24:00.000-07:00

My Version of "This Little Piggy"

Theees wittle piggy marrrrrket
Theees wittle piggy hoooome (snort, snort... literally)
Theees wittle piggy had feet (more snorting)
Theees wittle piggy none (still, more snorting)
Theees wittle piggy weeeeeeee weeeeeee weeeeeee home

The cuteness involved plays a major role, too, but of course I won't let Mommy or Daddy video it for everyone to see.... that would just be wayyyyyyy too easy!

It Says...

2009-03-21T07:14:00.000-07:00

I thought you needed to see this ~

When anyone asks me what an "addigator" says, I say "CHONK" and close my hands real hard.... you know, cuz I am cute like that!! :o)

Happy Birthday to ME!! :o) <3

2009-03-09T18:24:00.000-07:00

Here is my Dora cake that Papa and Mingie got me!
I loved it!!

Waiting patiently to dig in to my cake while everyone
sings Happy Birthday to me

Blowing out my "cannles", and I actually
blew them all out! Go me!

What is this stuff on my hands? It's nassy!

Oh, Dora, I finally have you in my hands

*I have a bad Mommy who forgot her camera at home. Gammaw and Pap had a cool Nemo birthday cake for me, and I loved it, too. I had fun at their house, too... but you can't see pictures because Mommy didn't have her camera!! :( boooo!!!

I'm 2!!

2009-03-03T09:54:00.000-08:00

Here are the pictures from 2 year old photo shoot. I had a blast!!!

The Tale of a Nemmy Em Thief

2009-01-25T12:00:00.000-08:00

Gamaw and Pap had a very delicious treat on their hutch. They had Christmas color Nemmy Em's! After I figured out that I could reach them this year, I would ~~politely ask for some Nemmy Em's~~ go and steal some, then gobble them up when I thought nobody was looking! I really enjoyed them.... my green and red stained face proved it, too! Eventually, they caught on to my mischievous ways, and took them away because I ate so many Nemmy Em's!

Here I am reaching in to the bowl.... shhhh don't
tell anybody! It's awesome being tall enough to reach
the good stuff this year! Shortness is for babies.

Caught red handed with a red Nemmy Em

Oh, man are these Nemmy Em's good stuff!

It's Christmas All Over Again

2009-01-17T15:50:00.001-08:00

Relaxin with Gamaw

Pap helped me open presents!!

Sitting with Gampa. He came to have a visit
with me at Mingie and Papa's house!

Sleepin on my Mingie

Wow, Papa, it's a doggy!!! I want to pet him.

Mommy LOVES my face in this picture.. she thinks
I look adorable!

* More will be coming throughout the week, I promise!

Pictures

2009-01-10T09:00:00.000-08:00

Dear Fans,

I am sorry that Mommy has not put up new pictures of me yet. Our computer is broken, and we have to wait for the new part to come. As soon as it is fixed, I will make Mommy put up new pictures of me from Christmas. I promise.

Love,
A Very Cute Baby

Nakeup

2008-12-16T15:32:00.001-08:00

I am doing nakeup now, have you heard? Here is just a sampling of how boootiful you will look if I do your nakeup, too. Mommy has more pictures, but I pilfered her "wone" to call Papa. As soon as we locate it, she will add more pictures!! :o)

Turkey Day Princess

2008-12-12T07:42:00.001-08:00

Gussy is teaching me to be a goggy

Can somebody please get these dogs away from me
so I can enjoy my whipped cream in peace, pease?

Yummy Stuff... Mingie is a good sharer

Sneak Peak

2008-11-24T15:15:00.001-08:00

Mommy and I were doing a Christmas project tonight. Here is a sneak peak at what is to come. A broken glass ornament, and a few tears later, some of them came out pretty cuke!

Wishes from a Cute Girl

2008-11-17T14:48:00.001-08:00

A very special message to Uncle Micah on his birthday from his cuke little niece (that would be me). <3

Leaf Me Alone, I'm Having Fun!

2008-11-13T15:36:00.001-08:00

Daddy and Mommy took me outside for a fun jump in the "yeafs". I had a total blast. We also went to the park this week, and you will see those pictures soon. Here is the first set of my fun day.

Hey..... where are you Dad? I don't see you!

Jumping in leaves is so much fun

Hey, what is this thing? It's something new

Twirling in "seeekers" (circles)

Cuke girl in a pile of pretty yeafs. What
more could you ask for?

Nunny, where are you?

Dad, I said to make a little bit of yeafs
come down on me. Not a ton!

I go for the natural look.

Simply gorgeous

It's raining leaves, hallelujah it's raining leaves!

Peek.... do you see a cuke baby in here?

Happy Halloween {Better Late Than Never}

2008-11-12T17:24:00.001-08:00

Halloween wasn't that big of a shebang at our house this year. I was a kikky, and I had a mean "yeeeeooooowwww". But, I was sleepy, so we only went to Frankie's house. Maybe it will be better next year!

When You Don't Hear Me Making a Peep..........

2008-10-29T16:29:00.000-07:00

.................... it usually means I'm in to something really good!!! :o)

Mom was making her kids some cupcakes, and she didn't
share any "cockate" icing with me. I decided to
take things in to my own hands.

Now, what is the best way to get at this stuff??

Little lady licks

Here, Mom, I've got enough "cockate"
on my hands for both of us. Want some?

Yummy in my tummy!

I'm only a little messy, Mom!

Gimme more..... nummmmm nummmmm

Dude, I'm stuffed on "cockate"

The end of the Happenings of a "Cockatey" Princess!!! If you need anyone to eat your extra icing, give me a call. I'm a pro now!!

Sunflowery Princess

2008-10-19T18:14:00.000-07:00

I got front row seats to the Hour of Power! Sweet!

What do you want, Mother? You are interrupting
this man's song, and he's singing it just for me.

Do I really have to go to church? I just watched
the Hour of Power, and nunny and I are ready
for a nap!

I guess I can go. I don't want to disappoint
people who show up to church to see
cute babies.

Hey, Mom! Let's go!

Back view of my piggy tails

You didn't get this side right, Mom. I need to fix
it in case there are any cuke boys in church today.

Can I get a Hallelujah? Maybe I can
help Papa next time we are at his
church!

Pretty smiles <3>

I'm getting sick of all of these pictures. Let's just
go now!

Back home to have some "N and Nm's"

Another wave to my fans

I'm so vain, I'll tell you I'm cuke... kinda like
someone else I know (but I'm not telling you who)

I just woke up, and I'm still sleepy. All of that
Praising the Lord wore me out!

Sleepy girl

Not sleepy enough to give you a smile
and a wave. But, my "sum" is still
in my mouth this time.... I couldn't
part with it, even to be cuke.

Mommy said all of the N and Nm's were
gone, so I gave her a sad face. But it
didn't bring any back to me! Bummer

Girlfriends.... It's cut off but it's still cute

One last insanely, overly, incredibly, stupdendously,
beautifully, amazingly gorgeous kid shot
*Note the cocklate on my mouth!! :)

I have to show love for the Black and Gold ~
Go Teelers!!! Get a Touch Down!

Bath Time Wild Woman

2008-10-19T17:59:00.000-07:00

Um, 'cue me, Mom, but I think you put something
on my hand. Did you neak it in while I wasn't looking?

Yes you did. You put yoap on my hand! Mom,
that was not nice!

Yes, I am cuke, do you have a problem with it?

Of course, my ever popular shout out to my fans...
can't leave that one out!

Cuke smiles! <3>

Whoa... I got up on the wrong side of the bed!
Anyone have some hair tamer they can let me
borrow?

Mom, I think there is something on my noesh.
Why, yes, it's nothing other than BUBBLES!

Soapy hair, soapy toes, soapy little Morgy noesh

Wrapped up nakey bear

Here is a better version of my "Towtol" song. No,
Mom didn't have to say any words to me. The
whispering was to let you know what words I
was saying because I decided to whisper some of the
words, and Mom wanted to let you know what I
was saying.

Lesson 1 ~ Animals and a Song

2008-10-08T15:38:00.000-07:00

I decided that sitting in my diaper box and reading a book
would be a fun thing to do this day. Here are pictures of
my attempt to teach you goofballs out there what these
animals are, and what sounds they make. Oh, be sure to stick
around because I am debuting my "towtol" song at the end!

This animal here is called a pig. I say that a pig says
"hop hop hop", and Mommy tells me no, it says "oink oink".
I think Mommy can just keep saying that a pig says
"oink oink" because in Morgan's world it's going to hop.

And here you have a "cicken". It goes "pee peee pee"
I love saying this in a high, shrilly, ear piercing voice.
Sometimes cicken's hop in my world, too. I like to
keep things simple.

This is one of my favorites. This is a nunny, and
they do go hop hop hop. I let you know by
pounding my chest and shrilling "hop hop hop"

Here are all of the animals. I know what
every single one of them is except for a goat.
I bet I'm smarter than you!

Yes, the lovely "seep". A "seep" says "baaaaa
baaaaa baaa" It wouldn't be a "seep" if it was just
a plain "baaaa" it has to sound authentic so I shake
my voice to sound like a real "seep". It's all about the
details.

Yup, sitting in my Huggies box and enjoying
my book of aminals is wonderful!

Maybe Mom will get a video version of me
teaching you the animal sounds someday.

And, here you have it... the debut of my "towtol"
song. It's not the best I've ever done because I
was too worn out from teaching you about the animals.
But, I do have to admit, the belch at the
end is pretty rad!! I would like to dedicate this one
to all of Mingie's work buddies because we've heard how
badly they're dying to hear this oh so cool song!! :o)

Too Cute For Words! <3 :o)

2008-10-03T14:27:00.001-07:00

Here are my insanely cute pictures of me in my purple overalls, flowery shirt, with pitties in my haiw!! Enjoy!

Mom, do I really have to go to Fankie's today?
I look really cute, but I'd rather just stay home!

Cutie pie

I guess I'll go play with all of my boyfriends. Let's
see there's Samyewul (Samuel), Taveees (Travis),
Tannew (Tanner), and ADsay (AJ).

I even have piggy tails in my hair! AND I left them
in ALL DAY LONG!

After we came home, my pitties were still in
my hair. Mommy was so proud of me!

Hi all of my fans. Mommy is trying to get
a video of me singing my "towtol" song, but
so far I have been quite uncooperative!

Are You Ready?????

2008-10-03T11:52:00.000-07:00

There are some incredibly cute pictures coming this evening.... piggy tails, pitties, smiles, purple overalls, flowery shirt, waving, and 100000000% true adorableness (is that a word???)..... keep checking. You won't be disappointed! Promise!

Water Swimmy Pants Head The First

2008-09-29T14:27:00.001-07:00

I am getting in to clothes, pretties, shoes, and sockies like crazy now! I love to hand Mommy a "sirt", "soes", "sockies", or "pitties" and say "on pease". While Mommy was folding my laundry, I found my water-pants thinga majiggies that you use to put over my diaper while I go fwimmin, and wanted it "on pease". So, Daddy quickly obliged, and put it on my head. I walked around yelling "head, head, on head" You can now call me Water Swimmy Pants Head The First :o) Because, ya know, if I ever have a sister, she will have to be Water Swimmy Pants Head the Second!!

Minkey and Papa's Annual Princess Visit

2008-09-23T14:35:00.000-07:00

Papa and Minkey came for a visit last week. We had fun laughing and giggling. We even went to Appomattox, and Papa was my chauffer!! I can't wait to see them again in October.

Chillin in my peencess chaiw that Minkey and Papa
got for me.

It's so fun having my own place to sit.

Papa, you're silly!!

I find it necessary to cover my mouth with my
hands when something is absolutely hysterical.

Yay!!! I was having fun performing all of the
days Minkey and Papa were at my house.

Then, I decided that it would be fun to run up to Minkey
and get her.

Here, I'm acting all innocent and cute, but she
doesn't know that I'm going to......

Slowly, slowly, slowly

creeeeeep up, and get her!

Oh, that's just too funny.

All Tuckered Out

2008-09-22T09:52:00.000-07:00

Minkey and Papa came to see me this weekend, and they bought me my very own "peencess" (princess) chair. I was tuckered out from having to perform all night Thursday, all day Friday, and Saturday morning. After Minkey and Papa left, I crashed right in my "peencess" chaiw!! Aren't I cute?? :o) <3

18 Month Check Up

2008-09-08T10:27:00.000-07:00

Morgan went for her 18 month check up today. She is healthy as a horse, and is doing a wonderful job in all areas. Sissy is 33" (90% for height) and weighs 25lbs (70%). She's slimmin down after all of the walking she has been doing. She doesn't have quite so many rolls going up her thighs anymore. Dr. Christian also said that Morgan is on the same level as a 2 year old or little over in the verbal category. She's "very advanced" according to Dr. Christian, which is GREAT! She's even doing things physically that a 2 year old is just starting to do. Other than getting 3 shots today :o( everything went well.

Another fun thing she's doing is starting to sing songs. She loves the "Tiny Tim" song about the turtle. She chimes in, and will even sing the first line (I had a little turtle)... she says "I had a towtol". She really loves the big belch at the end, and is quite the expert at making the sound effects! Hopefully she'll cooperate, and will sing for everyone to hear. It's hilarious!

Grandma and Pap Came to See Me!

2008-08-31T17:33:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Pap came down to see me. They took me to the Science Museum in Virginia Beach, and boy did I have a good time!

I heard the word "fishies", and said "Let's get going, peeps,
I need to see these things"

Here is a sea lion. He was fwimmin all around for
everyone to see. He was "cuke"

Hey, wishies, what are you doing? I'm in solitary
confinement. I kept asking to walk, and nobody
would let me out! That is SO not fair!

One of my favorite things was the towtol (turtle),
Mommy and Daddy even bought me one of my own!

Oh no, HELP, I got eaten by a "sark"!!!!!

I also experienced my first boat ride!

What's up fans? I'm being a big girl, and I am on a
boat. It's loads of fun!

I even got to see dolphins (I called them wishies, but
who cares?)

Ahhhhhh..... this was my face when Dad told me

he was going to throw me overboard! He was just

teasing!

Bye wishies, I wuv yew!

My Fun Visit to Monaca (A Little Late)

2008-08-20T19:07:00.000-07:00

Here are the pictures from my visit to Monaca

Now, toys, you need to listen to what I am telling you
to do.

This is my hands-behind-my-head super model
pose. It's tough being so gorgeous!

This is the wild woman super model look.
Some of those stud muffins like us girls a little
wild and crazy!

I like to kick back and relax already. Mommy's teaching
me to sit like a lady. Can you tell?

See what I mean?? Don't I sit like such a little
princess?? Maybe you need to offer Mom some tips
on how to get me to sit the right way so people don't
see all of my rolls. This is embarrassing!

Mommy said to smile, so I SMILED!

Aunt Sue, I KNOW where the camera is; you don't
have to show me. When you're a super model, you
always have a camera following you everywhere you go.
I see a camera, and I'm spot on with the posing! I
have my technique down pat.

Aunt Sue is teaching me to do "na na na na na" and stick
my tongue out. It's so fun when family members teach
me to do stuff ~ Mommy and Daddy can't yell at me
because someone TOLD me to do this stuff!!

Gram tried to get a picture with me, but I wanted to
get down and do my next shoot. A girl can't be confined
when she needs to pose.

True Love on a Swing

2008-08-06T19:30:00.000-07:00

Grandma, Pap, Mommy, and Daddy took me to the park. It's called Roof Park, and I don't know why because there isn't a roof over it. Who knows! While I was there, I met a stud muffin! I tried to oogle him, but he became uninterested pretty quickly. I am too good for him anyway!

Hey, kid, cute girl looking at you RIGHT HERE!
I'll even share nunny with you!

Maybe the wind blown look will draw his attention?

What? Did I just see him look at another girl?
Oh no he didn't! The glare is comin on pretty thick!
He felt me staring him down... he was shakin in his
booties!

Scoping out the park for a new friend to hang with since
Mr. Spencer Pants doesn't like me.

Ah... Mom and Dad say I can't date until I'm 35 anyway,
so I'll just have fun in the swing and give all you fans
a "fweet giwl (girl)" smile :)

Steeler Fan.... Or Not!

2008-08-06T19:21:00.000-07:00

Mama's starting me early.... Go Steelers!

Chillaxing on Pap... I'm sleepy! But I still gotta show
my Black and Gold!

Wuddup Homiez? It's a princess in da house!
Boo YA!

Ummm... still trying to rock the home girl thing,
but when the hat is too big, it kinda doesn't work.

OK, yeah, I'm basically done with this whole
Steeler thing...

My New Trick!

2008-07-13T10:42:00.000-07:00

While on my mini-cation, I did a bunch of new things. You saw that I learned to be a monster with Papa, and you will eventually see pictures of the other fun, new things I did. But, here is the BIGGEST new trick that I learned....

I started out using the walker that Mangaw (what I call Grandma)
and Pap got me

Look at the total concentration!

Trying the other way now

Then, I tried it without the walker.... watch me go!!

Mommy and Daddy were starting to wonder when they'd see this happen. I just do things in my own way, and my own time. That's how you roll when you're a princess!

Papa Taught Me to be a Monster!

2008-07-10T13:06:00.000-07:00

Papa thought it was necessary to teach me how to be a monster.... just in case any mean people come along, I can scare them away.

Here we are at Uncle Migak's apartment, and Papa is teaching me the proper technique.

Partner's in crime! <3

I'm getting the hang of it, being a monster isn't so easy...especially when you're as cute as me!

Still practicing

I was a little off in this one, but they always say... practice makes.......

PERFECT! I look pretty scary here, don't I??? :o)

Letter

2008-07-10T07:03:00.000-07:00

Dear Fans,

Mommy tried to put new pictures of me up yesterday. I, however, was up at 7am, and did not take a nap (about a 45 minute one, but it didn't count). I was grumpy, and a not very nice girl for Mommy. She promises she'll put them up today because I am going to be a good girl!! :o)

It's Poop! :o)

2008-06-25T08:47:00.000-07:00

As Mommy was getting me ready this morning, we had a conversation about my outfit. Here it is~

Mommy ~ Morgan, look at your pretty shirt you're going to wear

Me ~ Pitty! Sirt

Mommy ~ Let's put your shorts on

Me ~ Sortsch

Mommy ~ Morgan, look, who is on your shirt? Is that Pooh? Can you say Pooh, Morgan?

Me ~ Poop!

Mommy ~ No, sissy, it's Pooh... can you say Pooh?

Me ~ Poop!

After that, Mommy decided we'd go with Winnie instead of Pooh.... but I don't understand why!

OREOs and Poogies

2008-06-19T17:10:00.001-07:00

There was a bag of Oreo's sitting on the table. I shoved it at Mommy and said "num num" (meaning that I want something to eat NOW!)

Yup, I really enjoyed them!! (By the way, today was the first day that Mommy tricked me, and I ate a whole bottle of just milk... no more formula!)

Mommy also painted my "poogies" (this one's a little
blurry)

The other foot

Here's a better shot! Aren't they just gorgeous? :o)

Sketti Monster :o)

2008-06-15T19:04:00.000-07:00

The adventures of my first self feeding!

Hey, parentals, I'm hungry... how 'bout some food?

Ohh... this looks interesting! (notice I'm holding the spoon
like a big girl??)

It doesn't taste too shabby, either!

I think I'll shovel some more in

and some more....

and still a little more.

Messy is beautiful <3

Thank goodness I have nunny to wipe my face clean
because, ya know, a wet wash rag just wouldn't have been
the same. Besides, nunny was telling me that she was
hungry too!

All clean. Thank goodness nunny is such a good
face cleaner.

Up close and PER SON AL! Don't ya just dig
those teeth? (if you look really closely, you can see
my brand new molar on the bottom)

New Vid

2008-06-11T12:17:00.000-07:00

The only word needed here is: ENJOY!

Long Time!

2008-06-02T13:17:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time since Mommy posted anything about me. I'm getting bigger, cuter, and saying more and more words. I had a fun visit with Papa, Mingie, Grandma, Pap, Uncle Micah, Uncle Bill, Sarah, and Gussy. While on my trip, I learned a new sign for Sarah (because she's so special she has to have her own code), and I said "Gus" "Mingie" and "Pap". I went to the zoo, on a ride to see Amish, and to a church picnic where everyone said how cute I was. I was supposed to go play with a little girl from Papa's church, but I was too sleepy!!! Both of the camera's Mom and Mingie tried to use had bad batteries, so we didn't get any fun pictures. But, Uncle Micah took this one of me sleeping on him right before I came home. It's precious enough to last you a little bit while Mom and Dad get some new ones up!

My Name Is~

2008-05-01T12:29:00.000-07:00

Morgan has been going around a lot lately saying a word that has her Mommy and Daddy really concerned. Because if she likes this word now, once she finds out what the real thing is, she's going to like it EVEN MORE when she gets to be about 13. We couldn't figure out what "the word" meant until last night. After taking her bath, we were playing, and I said, "Can you say your name, Morgan?" She looked at me, and I said again, "Can you say MORGAN?". That's when the lightbulb went off as to what her new word is. She looks back at me as soon as I asked her the second time and goes, "MONEY" We've asked her several more times (and I do mean SEVERAL) if she can say her name, and every single time she says "Money". Now you can see why we're scared. If she loves the word money so much already, what's going to happen when she really knows what it is?? Yikes! As I said, she has been going around saying money a lot lately. She'll do something and say, "No, Money" or "Ah, ah Money, no no!" Which are things she hears ALL the time, but with "Morgan" in place of "Money". Who woulda thought that we named our kid such a cool name?? We definitely think she's priceless.. so I guess money is a good moniker for her!! :o)

Peek a Bum

2008-04-24T17:19:00.000-07:00

Daddy was changing my diaper, and I decided that I wanted to be a free little bird for a while. So, I escaped, and pounded on the door in all my glory. Check out that cute baby bum, and the rolls on my thighs!

Miss Cute Stuff

2008-04-14T16:40:00.000-07:00

To all of my fans: I am so sorry that my Mommy could not get the pictures to load on my webpage. I know it has been distressing for you to have to wait this long in order to see my fantabulous pictures. That's why Mom and I picked the best of the best for your viewing enjoyment!

Rocking my inner cheerleader. I can do one
awesome toe touch, don't ya think?

Showing off my moves a little closer... just so
you can get a shot of the cute face AND the skillz

Smiles

I had gotten up from a nap, and was quietly playing
in my crib. When Mommy opened the door, I greeted
her with a sweet smile and a big "Hi"

Such a cute thang

Boy, do I love me some "scheesh"

Sitting with my Mom~ I don't look like such
a baby anymore, do I??

Wanna have a competition to see who can drool
the most? I'm cutting some mad molars, and I know
I can beat you hands down.

Cheese'n it up; my biggest talent

See what I mean? You put a camera up, and I'm
all ham

Hey, I want to try to take some pictures.

Sleepin princess

Daddy forgot to take my Amish girl hat off

Nunny love, it's da best!

Chillin with my bro in our little hang out.

True love <3

A quick note... I tried to put the pictures up of Morgan yesterday, but the website was acting funny. I tried like 5 times, and the pictures never uploaded ot the page. I'll try again after we get home from her doctor's appointment this evening. Please pray that she is virus free now!!

Baby Genius :o)

2008-04-04T10:44:00.000-07:00

The appointment went well yesterday. Morgan wasn't wable to get her 1 year vaccinations because she has some sort of virus in her. We have to take her back on Tuesday to see if that has gone away. She has FINALLY started to slow down with her growth. She's now in the 97% for height (still tall, but not off the charts), she's 90% for weight, and 88% for head circumference. Dr. Christian isn't concerned that she's not walking yet, and said she will probably be taking off in the next month or so.

Now, for the really fun and exciting stuff. Miss Morgan is extremely advanced in verbal skills for a 13 month old. The doctor told Adam she's doing and saying things that a 15-18 month old should be doing. And, she's been doing half of this stuff since she was 11 months old. Dr. Christian was very very impressed with the things Morgan can do (pointing her her nose and say nose, knows where her belly is, and can tell us where our eye is and say eye; throwing temper tantrums to get her own way, having a vocabulary of 15 words or more, knowing the dog, etc.). Of course, this thrills us to no end!! We tend to doubt ourselves a lot because, with her being the first one, we're kinda experimenting this round. But, it's nice to hear that our 13 month old is extremely advanced, and is doing a lot of stuff that kids whom are months older than her are just starting to do!

I promise that we'll post pictures this weekend. I have a ton on the camera, we just haven't gotten them up and posted!

Quick Update

2008-03-29T19:37:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick update on the princess ~ We'll have pictures posted soon, and she goes to the doctor on Thursday for her one year appointment.

Morgan has learned a myriad of new words. She ~

says "bunby" for her bunny blanket.... it used to be just bun bun
she calls my dad "papa", and knows where his chair is in their living room
she is now sayng "who's that?" when someone opens the door
she says "whoa" when something drops
when she falls down she says "boom" 1/2 of the time
lately she's been saying "oh my" to things
she has been saying "ba ba" for bottle for a long time, but that is a renewed favorite word
she loves to say "hey" and "hi"

She also knows~
where her nose is and calls it a "nooo or a noesh"
knows where her piggies are, and grabs her foot when you ask her where her piggies are
knows where our eyes are, and can say "eye" when she points to them
she combs her own hair if you tell her to
she can pick her baby or bunny blanket out of a ton of things on the floor, and tell you what she has
she has learned to use her finger to tell you "no no", and shakes it at you while she is scolding you

That's all I can think of for now.... the child is definitely picking up on everything. It's amazing to see how much she's learned in such a short amount of time. She is the best thing ever, and we can't imagine our lives without her. We love her sooo much. Check back this week for some new pictures, and updates about her appointment. We're wondering what percentile she's in for height... in December it was 110%. We'll see!!

My New Car Seat

2008-02-27T17:46:00.001-08:00

I decided that I'd give everyone a big toothy grin on my first birthday! :o) <3

I'm ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)

2008-02-27T15:53:00.000-08:00

Can you believe that I'm actually a year old now?? Mom and Dad keep saying the year went wayyy too fast for them. I guess I've kept them on their toes; especially in the last couple months. But, I don't think they care too much cuz they love me just a little bit! <3

This is the cake Mommy designed for me!!

And, because I'm a princess, I had my very OWN
cake... I didn't have to share, and everyone at my
party had to share the other cake!! :o) I'm spoiled

Look at those funny people sitting over there!

All partied out... is it time for a nap yet?

I'm not so sure if I wanna dig in to this or not. I
may get my hands dirty, and that's just not
acceptable. Can you believe Mommy actually
WANTED me to get dirty??!!

*More pics will come over the next couple days

I'm a big kid now!

2008-02-15T15:09:00.000-08:00

Look how big I'm getting! I said the full "uh oh" today for the first time. Every time I would drop something, I'd say "uh", but left the "oh" off! It's a combination now, and I think it's great!

Playing with Coley Bear. He tries
to take his toys away from me. It's
a really fun game to play.

Smiling and waving. Check out those
chompers! Mom gets to feel those chompers
because I like to bite her!

Like my shirt for my big 1 year old
birthday party? Mommy had it made
just for ME!

Getting BIG

2008-02-05T16:04:00.001-08:00

I have been falling asleep on Mommy and Daddy a lot lately. They love it just a little bit!! Here are some other things happening in the life of a princess:

*I say "hi" and wave to you (Papa Bear LOVES to call me, and have me say hi to him on the phone)

*I wave when you tell me bye (Mom and dad are working on getting me to say it)

*I say "no no no no no" all the time

*I give high fives

*I put my fingers to my lips and move them back and forth, and make funny noises

*I got my next two bottom teeth

*I'm getting my molars

*I know what my baby is, and I make a good attempt at saying "baby"

*I'm getting closer and closer to walking

*I'll be 1 year old in 22 days.... Mom and Dad aren't ready for this!!!

For Your Viewing Enjoyment!!!

2008-01-23T16:52:00.001-08:00

If you look really closely can you see my brains????

This is one of my new favorite activities. I'm pulling
up on EVERYTHING. But, the T.V. is my favorite..
I beat the picture when I get myself balanced.

Mommy fed me some pudding. My brother came
and got the empty container then ran off with it. I
decided to follow him. He went under the table, so I
went with him. However, when he crawled back out,
I kinda sorta couldn't figure out how to get myself
out and I FREAKED just a smidge!!! Can you see
the sheer terror on my face??

Ride 'em cowgirl! I love the zebra Grandma
and Pap got me for Christmas!!

Hey, what's that down there? I can't seem to figure
out how to get off of this thing to go investigate!

The Last Few...

2008-01-19T15:50:00.001-08:00

I'm gonna get you, Noelle!!! I love my bunny.

Pap likes to help me walk! He does a good job.

Pap, I love you!

O.K. Let's walk this way now. You're such a
good Pap!

I wore my brother out again!!! I must be a little
too much for him to handle!

Chipmunks Theme

2008-01-13T16:03:00.001-08:00

I LOVE this song!!! I smile and clap while it is playing. Does this bring back any memories for anyone??? :)

A Few More...

2008-01-13T12:06:00.000-08:00

This wrapping paper is so yummy

Can you find me in all of the paper and presents?

Me with my Pap. We love each other.

Sitting in the chair like a big girl... getting a little
wobbly!

This is Grandma's ottoman AFTER I got ahold of it.
(No it is not dog pee, it's slobber)

More Christmas Pictures!

2008-01-12T07:29:00.001-08:00

Here are some Christmas pictures of me at Grandma and Pap's house. You may be looking at Christmas pictures of me clear up until the time I turn 1!

My first reindeer and piggy bank

Grandma helped me open my presents

And after we got them open, I put everything
in my mouth!!

I'm too big to sit down to open presents with Pap,
I had to stand!

Watch Out.....

2008-01-09T16:39:00.000-08:00

Mozart, here I come!!!

Uncle Micah taught me how to play the piano!

Before continuing with my concerto, I had to pause
and let my fans see my cute face before turning
around to let them hear the beautiful music
that was pouring from my hands.

Back to work.... I know my audience wants to see
me, but how can they enjoy my lovely pounding (I
mean playing) when I'm looking at them??

Just wait... my face will be famous some day

Whaaaat... No Papa Bear?

2008-01-07T17:32:00.001-08:00

As Mommy was looking through all 114 pictures she took of my first Christmas, she realized I don't have any at all with my Papa Bear!!! This makes me sad because I love my Papa. I guess we'll have to make up for it on my first birthday!!! :) Since I feel so bad, I am waving at Papa Bear right now, and I told Mommy to write this note to him:

Papa Bear,

I love you. Don't be sad because Mommy didn't take any pictures of you. Just because Mommy doesn't take your picture doesn't mean that I don't love you. I do... tons and tons! I'll see you in 2 months.

Love,
Your Booger

Bunny Kisses

Lounging on my buddy with my soft bunny.... this is the life!

Mingie and I like to patty cake together. I love her just a tiny bit.

Snuggling in a big comfy chair with my uncle and bunny.... how sweet

Quick Update!

2008-01-07T10:42:00.000-08:00

This isn't a picture, but we have some exciting new news!! Morgan is FINALLY crawling the real way.. not her little Army scoot she's been doing. She has crawled across her floor many times in the last few days. She also has two new top teeth, which makes it a total of 6!! AND.... (drumroll please)... Morgan now waves to you. She has to do it a princess way, of course. When you say "Hi, Morgan", she starts waving BOTH hands, and they're pointed toward her face. It's hilarious. Of course a picture of that will be taken soon. We will also get more first Christmas pictures up (we only have the rest of Mingie and Papa Bear's house AND all of Grandma and Pap's); and we'll be putting up pictures of her room since it's all clean and decorated. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. All we need is a toy box, a nice book shelf to put her tons of books on, and a CD player for her to listen to lullabyes, and we'll be perfect!! Keep watching for more pics. I'm posting more tonight :)

It's Splash Time... Oops I Mean BATH time!

2008-01-05T16:15:00.001-08:00

Here is a video of me splashing water EVERYWHERE while Mommy was trying to give me a bath. While it is funny, after the camera stopped rolling, Mommy told me that I wasn't allowed to splash anymore because the kitchen was a mess. HOW RUDE!

My First Christmas ~ Take 2

2008-01-05T15:59:00.001-08:00

Rockin a hawk!

Here is the first trick that my brother taught
me to do. Lapping water up like a doggy is
so fun :)

My first present!

It's an Elmo/ Cookie Monster Ball!!!

As you can see, I'm sitting here waiting patiently
for dinner, but all Mommy handed me was
this green bracelet.

O.K. I'm sick of waiting. I guess I'll just have to
eat rubber for dinner since nobody is getting
me anything to eat.

Coley and Gussy... two worn out puppies!

My First Christmas ~ Take 1

2008-01-01T18:07:00.001-08:00

There are too many pictures of my first Christmas to post them all at once (considering Mommy took 114 alone). So, over the next week or so, a couple will be added at a time for your enjoyment!

What a cute little present I am!

This is me being a cheerleader. I think I do a good job.

Here's a shot of me teaching Uncle Micah to be a
cheerleader. It took a little bit for him to get the hang
of it, but he's doing a great job. Don't you think? :) He's
got spirit, yes he do. He's got spirit: How' bout you?

This is my bunny, Noelle, that Mommy and Daddy
made for me for my first Christmas. I love her.

A big Christmas smile for all of my fans out there.
