Monday Madness

Paxton is really loving his turn at the Jumper-roo. The blue lizard is his favorite. They have long conversations.Toe Jam Puppet Band had a Halloween Party today. Off we went with costumes in tow. Morgan is a Monkey. Harper only wanted to wear part of her dragon costume. As with every other Monday, Chrissy's children have taking naps- mine has yet to nap.

Move Over Halligan

After months of trying, Morgan finally made if over the lip into Halligan's crate. She was very excited when he climbed in right behind her. She wasted no time in closing the door; declaring this "play fort" for her own.

Happy Birthday Harper!

Miss Harper-doo is TWO today! Harper Birthday Harper!

We love you! So much growing in one year!

Pumpkins!

We went with Harper and Auntie to pick pumpkins yesterday. It sure was chilly outside. Morgan rode another tractor! She expressed her joy with lots of arm flapping. We rode out to the pumpkin patch, picked out the perfect pumpkin and rode the tractor back. Little pumpkins for our pumpkins'.

One day late- sorry!

Morgan's Vacation

Pictures of our trip, in reverse order.

The night before we left we stayed at the Hilton. Morgan appreciated the high quality bedding and the "baby-friend" that offered at least 7 minutes of entertainment. Due to Mom's bad planning, Grammy had to shell out $11.57 on milk for nighttime bottles. Oops.

We went to a Scarecrow Festival went for a wagon ride, through a corn maze and played in the corn box. It was a 15'x15' "sandbox" but filled with CORN! It was the coolest thing! You sunk like quicksand. No matter how hard we tried to bury them, Morgan's toes kept sticking out.

We went on a tractor ride. Please note the vast, flatness in the background. You can see for miles here on flat ground.

On vacation I tried chocolate pudding and Coca-Cola. Thanks Uncle Luke!

Aunt Lisa gave me and Alayna matching "sprouts". My first up-doo.

They have swings here too!

We found some swings not too far from Uncle Luke's house.

Morgan Travels the USA

After a one-hour delay at the airport we were off. Morgan, Grammy and I flew to Chicago to visit family. She was a super, good girl on the plane and even took a nap. Mr. Monkey was along for the ride.

This is Morgan with her 5 cousins. She thinks they are pretty neat.

Hooray for Pumpkins!

Because She Turned One Today...

• She had the smallest amount of milk with her Cheerios and ate with a spoon.
• She had two bottles with whole milk, no formula.
• We took her to the zoo and let her wear the sticker.
• She weighed 26lbs, 5 oz.
• We hugged her extra tight, gave extra kisses (though I think everyday we give extra hugs and kisses).
• We talked to her about her Grampy and how they share a special day.
• We prayed.
• We got her a balloon.
• Her cousins came to dinner and we had ice cream cake.
• We realized it has been 365 nights with her sleeping some portion of the night in our bed.
• We tried (again) to put her to sleep in her crib.
• Daddy snuggled her to sleep in our bed.

Happy Birthday Morgan P!!

So much growing has happened in the past year, it sure flew by. So far, she has celebrated by waking up an hour and a half early and drank 8 oz of whole milk. Such a big girl!

We love you so much!
