Morgan's First Christmas

Our first Christmas as a family was a huge success. We enjoyed the Christmas Eve Service at our church with Jeff, Dana and the kids. Afterward, we met at their place and exchanged gifts and had snacks. It was a ton of watching watching all of the kids open their gifts, and Morgan opened her First Christmas Gift Ever too! Santa brought lots of gifts Christmas morning and it took Morgan until the afternoon to finish. Namely because she was all tuckered out and needed a nap halfway through. She has quickly grasped the art of opening presents, and she thoroughly enjoys it. Although she mostly enjoyed the paper and boxes, once it was all gone, she has really enjoyed all of her gifts. Below are a few pictures from December and our first family Christmas.

We're a bit behind...Tis the season

So much has happened since our last posting. Thanksgiving has come and gone, and Morgan is growing as fast as ever. We are all finally getting over the 6 weeks of colds we had running rampant through our house, and Morgan has finally adapted to daycare very well. Unfortunately for me, that is just in time for her to start having the attachment issues. At this point, she is just clinging to my neck for dear life, and that is bad enough. Once she starts crying when I leave, then I'm likely to be a sobbing mess on the way to work. Maybe I'll be the lucky Mommy who doesn't have to go through that stuff right??? Maybe Morgan will completely skip that stage...that is what I'm hoping anyways. Maybe I'm just dreaming...

We spent Thanksgiving just down the street at Jeff and Dana's house. That was a blast. We ate lots of yummy food and spent some good quality time together. Grandma Geri came from Minnesota and Eric and Jen also came down from Minnesota and that was great to have them stay with us. Grandma Geri even watched ALL of the kids one night so the six of us could have a night out on the town!!! Ok, so we just went to have some food and drinks, but we were out until Midnight!!! Yay!!! We are still young! Morgan had her first Thanksgiving meal and we found out that she is just a turkey hound! The girl just LOVES meat! Turkey, ham, you name it she loves it. She was also extremely fond of the sweet potato's, which are the Bohrer kids' favorite, so she fit in very well. Morgan enjoyed every bit of it, but we pretty much covered in it when she was done. I've included a photo below of daddy taking the dust buster to Morgan's clothes to clean her off. She absolutely loved it and thought it was funny!



Since Thanksgiving Morgan has graduated to eating adult food. It's wonderful to give her what we are eating for dinner, and it's great not to make special trips to the store because we're out of food for her. She is definitely growing fast. I can't believe her 1st birthday is just around the corner!

Here are some pictures that were taken in November.

Our Little Piglet

Halloween was lots of fun this year. It's much more fun when you have children, and you see them get so excited! Our sweet little girl went as piglet. She was just too sweet! She went trick-or-treating with her cousins around their neighborhood. Abby was a Nebraska Cheerleader, Caleb was a lion, Anna was Cinderella (before she was a princess), and Noah was a frog. They were all so cute together! It was a blast to watch them all. This year Morgan was just content to sit and watch everyone from the stroller. I guess we better enjoy that this year, I'm sure next year she'll want to get out and run with the big kids! Just the thought that she'll be walking next Halloween is just CRAZY!!! AHHHH!!!!

Morgan was a bit under the weather on Halloween night, and we found out Thursday night that she has her first ear infection. The poor little girl. We have to say that she has been quite the trooper though. We have one tough cookie and she has already shown signs that the medication is working. She is mostly back to her happy self and we couldn't be happier. We realized how much we missed her happy laughs and big smiles!

So, here are a few pictures of halloween!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch, with our Pumpkin!

Morgan's first trip to the Pumpkin Patch was this weekend. Unfortunately, it was a very quick visit. We set out Saturday afternoon to find a Pumpkin farm that neither of us had been to before. However, there was a bridge out on the road where the farm was supposed to be. So, we ended up going to pumpkin farm relatively close to our house, which was great. Except for the fact that we arrived there at 4:40pm and it closed at 5pm. It was short visit, but just long enough to get some pictures of our little pumpkin sitting among all the big pumpkins! It was still fun to see her excited about the pumpkins!

Here are some pictures we got!

Fall Trip to NH

We are finally home safe and sound from our trip out East. We got home last night, Wednesday and we jumped right back into work & daycare today.

Our trip was so much fun, but so exhausting. Morgan was quite the trooper. She put up with sitting in her car seat much better than we anticipated. Toward the end of the trip each way she was pretty crabby, but hey, so were we so we couldn't blame her.

We got to meet Morgan's cousin Gareth and see lots of family. Morgan was quite nervous at the family reunion as there were many new faces for her. Fortunately some of them did meet her the day we got there, so at least she knew some faces.

We had a great time, but we are glad we are back home and trying to get back into a routine. Here are some pictures from our great adventure; and Morgan's FIRST Vacation!!!

Trip to NH - Oct. 07

More teeth are poppin' through!

This is the first entry we've had in quite some time because Morgan has had a VERY rough last couple of weeks. And when I say rough, I mean just awful. She worked hard to get those top 2 teeth to come through for about 2 weeks. We went to the doctor's office the last Wednesday in September because she had a temperature of 102.5 and this was the first time Morgan had ever had a fever and we all were feeling it. The poor girl was waking up at night, almost every night crying and just wanting to be held. She was having trouble eating and wasn't chewing on any toys. That was a first. I guess her little gums were just too raw to chew on stuff. This went on for about a week until Tuesday October 1st. That was supposed to be my first day back at work full-time, but that didn't happen. I scheduled her for another doctor's visit on Tuesday because I was beginning to think there was something wrong. However, that morning her fever broke and a nice pearly white popped through. I have NEVER been so excited to see a tooth in my life!

Fortunately Morgan is back to her happy go lucky self and we are all happy that is over and done with, until the Molars, we hope! Yay!!! Our happy baby girl is back!

Here are some random pictures that were taken in September:
