WOW!!

Love this pic from the Children's Museum the other day...I've been meaning to do bubbles with Morgan lately but they are all frozen in the garage and I keep forgetting to bring them in. She was pretty amazed at the big bubbles at the Museum :)

My first visit....

to the Dentist!!!

Knowing that Conner had this appointment coming up I started bringing home books from the library explaining the dentist. I found a very good Dora one that I think really helped prepare him and he did AWESOME!!

What a big boy, he hopped right up in that chair and listened to everything she had to say.....I might add that she was awesome too and explained everything to him and would even show him the instrument and how it would feel on his finger. Of course I was one of THOSE mom's that brought her camera and was snapping away the whole time...Conner's use to that so it didn't bother him :)

Unfortunately, I deserve the WORST MOM AWARD because we have to go back for a filling in a few weeks, poor buddy!! I knew deep down he would, I apparently have given him my horrible teeth. I really thought I was doing a good job brushing twice a day, flossing occasionally, not allowing him to drink pop, chocolate milk, or juice (if any it's a splash in a glass of water once in a great while)...thank goodness these are his baby teeth and I have a second chance at his adult teeth. I just hope this filling will not traumatize him from going to the dentist again since this first cleaning was such a good experience.

Here are a few pics of my BIG BOY!!!

In the waiting room....not too excited I brought the camera :)

The fun glasses were to keep the light out of his eyes.

My first.....

Piggies!!

I had nursery this past weekend and a little girl had these cute little piggy tails in her hair....her hair was not much longer than Morgan's so I thought I would try it out. Her hair is getting so long it's always in her eyes or is very wild so barrettes and hair ties are becoming a norm over her.....so much different than having a boy that you hardly have to even brush :)

Anyway, here are a few cute pics of my little pumpkin with her first piggy tails :)

11 months old

I am so behind on this post but here it is anyway. Our little miss Morgan is a very busy girl these days and is learning new things everyday. Some of her favorite things to do are chase her brother up and down the hall (she was actually playing marching band with Conner and Grandma H last weekend...way too cute), taking out all puzzle pieces and walking around the house leaving them everywhere she goes, walking all around the house, finding her paci blanket and blanket in her crib when she is tired, taking out the dvd's from the tv cabinet, playing hide and seek with Conner, playing in her room and her favorite is playing peek a boo with her brother under the table.

News things she is doing:

• Dancing (every time she hears music she starts a dancing)...it truly is so cute, it's not the normal bop up and down anymore she actually starts doing the twist almost :)
• Clapping - loves if your happy and you know it clap your hands
• Hugging - the first time she did to me I wanted to cry, it is so precious
• Kissing -usually with her tongue out...we are working on that one
• Puts the lids on Tupperware
• Standing up in the middle of the room
• The bathroom is now off limits to her since she likes doing things she knows she should not do and I am so grossed out by the toilet. (thankfully she hasn't learned to lift the seat)
• Anything to do with balls, stacking blocks, or music and books
  

I'm sure there are more and more to come but that's all I've got right now....she is such a precious gift to our family and we are so very blessed to have her....I still can't believe that she is going to be one in less than a month...sniffle sniffle

The perfect excuse to....

make pasta necklaces.

This has been something I've had on my list of crafts to do but thought Conner would enjoy it more with a friend :) Last week I watched my girlfriends little girl so I thought....how perfect, we could make valentine necklaces.

Conner and Kendal with their necklaces....how cute!

Using a spoon :)

Morgan has become a very independent eater :) She loves to use her own spoon and pretty much refuses to be feed any more baby food from a jar....so all table food for this little girl and she is loving it!!! Thankfully yogurt is one of her favorites and it sticks to the spoon. Normally she actually does a good job and makes very little mess for an 11 month old but this night she seemed to be extra messy so I had to take a pic. What a cutie :)
