While Daddy's Away...

...Morgan and Mommy will play. Nothing big to post about, but here's a few items from the past few days:

*I discovered yesterday that Morgan's other lower middle tooth is on it's way in. No wonder her usual biting on my shoulder (while I hug her of course) was more painful that usual. Ouch!

* We went to Storytime at the local Barnes & Noble today. There were a few other kids there. There is a story read and then a craft project. Hopefully when she's older she'll enjoy the crafts. She did seem pretty interested in the book and the story though.

* I gave Morgan mashed bananas today instead of pureed. She gagged, then looked at me like I was trying to poison her. Well, that didn't deter her from trying another bite. After three gagging episodes I decided she'd had enough for now. Like her Daddy, sometimes I wonder if she has an "off" button that tells her she's had enough food.

Our Little Rock Star

Morgan loves her little bongo set. It plays two ways, with the drums side by side (like the picture below) or you can adjust it so the bottom of the drums attach to each other so it rolls on the floor. The tops of the drums are actually buttons that she can "smack" with her hands to play music. She likes them a lot and fortunately the music hasn't become too annoying...yet.

As you can see in these photos Morgan is also wearing her Rock "star" onesie. This is courtesy of her cousin Jamie and the BDS (Baby Delivery Service). When I was pregnant we got clever gifts in the mail from the BDS about once a month. Morgan also has onesies that say "Cutie" and "Little Pig" (as Morgan was born in the Year of the Pig...but it also could describe her appetite). Thanks so much Jamie!

Look at those chubby cheeks and arms!

A Day at a Different Park

I've been behind on our blog. Grandma and Grandpa B are visiting and we've been very busy! Sunday we spent a nice day at Manito Park on the South Hill in Spokane. Spring has finally arrived!!

It was such a beautiful day. We picked up sandwiches and treats at my favorite bakery and spread out a few blankets in a shady spot near the playground. We watched Morgan roll around on the blankets for a while. She is getting quicker and more agile every day. Unfortunately she gets stuck on her tummy and can't remember how to get to her back. Too cute. For so long she only rolled from her back to her tummy. Now that she's figured out the other direction, she can't get back the original way she learned to roll. Hee hee.

We took a walk to the lilac gardens and the rose gardens. The lilacs were looking and smelling great! Can't say so much for the roses. Hopefully they're be in full bloom when Grandma and Grandpa come back in the fall.

I can't believe how big Morgan looks in our most recent pictures! Above is a great picture my Dad took with Morgan, my Mom and I. We call her our "chunky monkey" for a reason!
