Birthday To Remember

I was so excited about Morgan turning one that I took the actual day of her birthday off from work. I know this sounds cheesy but with the rough start Morgan had, I remember praying during those first couple of months that God would at least give me one year with her. Why one year, I don't know but I just remember thinking that she seemed so little and frail and I just thought if she could make it through her first year then things had to get easier. Well of course she did and she's doing great! I did a lot of reminiscing during this time and it was bittersweet.

That day, Daniel and I took Morgan for her first haircut.
Daniel graciously offered to look through a magazine with Morgan while we waited. Look how disturbed poor Morgan looks. Good one Dad!

Morgan wasn't exactly thrilled throughout the entire cut but as usual she did great!

Later that day, I took Morgan to get her pictures taken. I'll be sending these out so if anyone has a preference please let me know.

Daniel and I decided that since Morgan's birthday parties would likely land after her actual birthday because of Halloween, we would allow her to open a couple of gifts on her actual birthday. She opened her blocks she got from Chris and Laura. She loved them and so did Maggie! No damage was done but we have to keep a close eye on big sis.
