Big Girl Way Too Fast
Not only is Morgan crawling, she is now sitting up. When I got home today I sat down in the floor to play with her and before I knew it she pushed herself right up to sitting position. I looked at mom as if to ask if she had been doing this and she said that was the first time had seen her do it. I still think she will be pulling up before we know it. She is getting too big too fast!

We've Got a Crawler
Yup, you read that right! Morgan is crawling! She crawled for the first time on Sunday October 14. We had just literally walked through the door from a weekend at Branson with my grandparents. I sat her down and was about to start helping Cory unpack the car and she just started crawling. She had been acting like she was going to for weeks, up on all fours, rocking back and forth, even putting one knee forward. But Sunday, she finally did it. I had to grab the video camera and record it I was so excited. Now she is EVERY where! It's funny to watch her though because she will make a couple moves and then put her tooshy in the air, or sit back down like she's not sure about it. She also does this sliding, pushing forward thing. She is getting better and better at just crawling and will be a pro in not time. She also has another new trick. She's not pulling herself up like on the side of the couch, but she's will lean over something (like her piano) and then stand up, while still leaning over. I think she will be pulling herself up very soon. This girl is getting too big too fast!
She's back to jabbering and squealing all the time again. She had done this about a month ago and stopped. Really wasn't very vocal in the past weeks, (I was actually getting kind of worried) but she found her voice again and this time is squealing loud!
She has also started throwing fits here and there. Today she threw one when we took Abby's bone away from her. Then we had to hide it because every time she would see the bone she would start squealing and crying. She loves to take Abby's bones away from her and chew on them. We have to watch her very closely.
She is eating like a champ now. No more sucking the baby food off the spoon. She is actually opening her mouth and eating it. Mealtime is so much cleaner now.
So loving this baby girl more and more every day. Looking forward to experiencing the upcoming holiday seasons with her!

Love My Meme
Meme and Papa came by our house on their way to Michigan. I was so glad they stopped even though we got to see them the next week. Morgan has been kind of iffy about people and may or may not cry if she doesn't know you. She has cried because a women in Wal-Mart stopped us to talk to her. She went right to Meme and Papa and didn't cry at all. This made me so happy because I was afraid she would cry. Meme and Papa just loved and loved on her, and she has a great time playing with them. I so love them!!

5 months old..................already!
(2 weeks late)
We are so in love with our little girl and can't imagine life with out her. She is amazing and her beautiful smile truly makes my day! I can't wait during the school day for it to be over so I can run home and see her sweet face!
At 5 months Morgan:
weighs 17 pounds. She has been really weird about eating here lately. We moved her up to 6 ounces. Sometimes she will eat the whole thing and sometimes she eats a couple of ounces and plays with the rest. I'm not sure why she is doing this. She still wants to eat every 3 hours and the past week or so wants to eat at 2 and a half hours. We just started feeding her fruit with cereal the past day or so.
loves to take baths! She chews on the wash cloths and loves to splash. I think it's her favorite part of our nightly routine. Her nightly routine is still eat baby food, take a bath, get lotioned and dressed, read a book, and take a bottle. It works so we keep doing it.
is still not sleeping very good. She has nights where she will sleep through but mostly wakes up at least once. I had her to where she would just stir and fuss a little and go back to sleep, but the past few days she has been wide awake, screaming her head off. I've really been praying hard that she will get back on her regular routine and sleep through the night. Ever since we moved to West Plains in August she hasn't slept well. But a lot of stuff changed. We moved, Cory and I went back to work, and my mom started watching her. It's been very difficult to get her back on track but I think we are finally getting there. Keeping my fingers crossed! She usually takes 2 one hour naps, and 1 thirty minute nap.
loves to blow bubbles, spit, click her tongue, and smack her lips. We blow bubbles at her and she usually does it back to us. She has even done this in the middle of the night when I am trying to get her back to sleep. It's a good thing she's cute!!
will be crawling anytime now I think! She is up on all fours all the time and can get around by scooting. She puts her arms forward and puts her knee forward but then lays down. We are definitely about to be in big trouble because she is going to be into everything!
can sit up with support. I usually sit her up and sit behind her but not touching her. I just sit there to catch her if she falls. She loves to sit up and see everything. She hates to lay down!
is fascinated with Abby. She loves to watch her and recognizes the sound of her tags jingling on her collar. If Abby is playing with her pig, going crazy, running around, Morgan will sit and watch her for a long time! She loves to try and "crawl" to her and grabs her anytime she can reach her. Morgan also tries to give Abby "kisses" and doesn't mind for her to lick her in her mouth, hands, feet or ears. Although we TRY to keep Abby from licking in the mouth or on the face.
has learned how to jump! She jumps in her jumperoo and jumps while you have her standing on your lap.
seems to know her name. When we call her name she looks at us so we are assuming she is learning that we are talking to her.
recognizes her bottle and tries to hold it. I think she will be doing this soon also.
doesn't talk much, and actually never really has. We know she can, and for a little bit she was babbling but for some reason she just doesn't do it. Every once in a while she will "talk" but it is few are far between.
still isn't laughing out loud. Sometimes when I tickle her I can her to squeal but that is about it. She smiles all the time, but doesn't laugh. Sometimes I think she forgets she knows how to do something.
is getting her hair back. It is growing in thicker and I think she is going to be red headed. She was born with red hair but I was too. When mine grew back it came in blond. Cory was blond also, so we just figured she would be too. Her last bit of newborn hair is just about out on the back of her head. It didn't fall out when the rest did and stayed thick and sweet. But sadly it is gone :(
