Grandpa & Abi's Visit

A few weeks ago Daniel's father Steve and his wife Dorothea visited us for the weekend. Daniel and I were so excited for them to meet Morgan for the first time!

We were able to do a lot of "firsts" that weekend.


FIRST TRIP TO THE PARK...


FIRST TIME FEEDING THE DUCKS (SORT OF)...


FIRST RESTAURANT...

We had a great time and can't wait for the next visit! Hopefully we'll be able to make it out to the Midwest soon. Thanks for the great visit, Steve and Dorothea!

HAPPY EASTER!

Morgan had a great first Easter! Here she is in her little Easter dress after church and lunch.









Morgan seemed to like her Easter basket. This was right before she knocked it over and all the eggs fell out. Nana and Papa sent her some candy, hats, and much needed sunscreen but the Easter Bunny accidently ate her candy before she ever even got to see it.

Morgan is......

MORGAN IS A GOOD SLEEPER!

Morgan has slept through the night pretty much since we first put her in her crib a few months ago. We put her down around 8 or 9 every night and we have to wake her up around 5 or 5:30 to feed her every morning. On weekends she even goes back to sleep after her 5 am feeding until around 9 am when we wake her up to feed her again. We lay her in her crib at night and she goes to sleep without any fussing 6 out of 7 nights. Now, if only the same were true for naps!

MORGAN IS A DADDY LOVER!

If dad's in the room, you can bet that's who Morgan is looking at. She will crook her neck just to spot dad and give him a big smile. Daddy is good about playing with Morgan and I know she appreciates it!

MORGAN IS HAPPY!

Morgan's favorite thing to do right now is smile! All you have to do is give her a big smile and she'll return the favor. Morgan smiles with her whole body! Her eyes and face light up with every smile.

MORGAN IS PETITE!

Last time Morgan was weighed she weighed only around 12 pounds but was already 24 inches long. She's only in about the 3rd percentile for weight but was in the 41st percentile for height. Maybe she'll be tall and lean like her daddy!

MORGAN IS A MIRACLE!



Being a parent is the hardest thing I've done but it's definitely the most rewarding. Who knew it would feel this good!
