Morgan Plays in New Baby Pool!

Daddy playing with Morgan!

Look at that cute belly!!!

Morgan had her first experience in her new Pool on Wednesday afternoon! It was a super hot day so we busted out the pool and we put her in her cute little swimmers, and her new bathing suit! She really enjoyed it right from the start. We didn't even get any funny faces! There were plenty of pool toys to try to eat, so she had a blast and I think we had just as much fun as she did! There is nothing cuter in this world than seeing your baby in a tiny winy bathing suit!!! I just had an ear to ear grin the whole time! It was GREAT fun!

June is a BIG month!

June has been a huge month in the Bohrer family. First, we had Morgan's 4 month check up on June 6th, ahd she is a healthy growing girl. She weighed in at 16 1/2 pounds and 26 1/2 inches. 98% and 99% for height and weight! I think we've got a little Paully on our hands! Our doctor agreed with me that she is probably teething, as she has been crabby some days, which is totally unlike her. For a few days I actually wondered what happened to our daughter. She was just not herself. Fortunately, she has come around and is only having bad days every once in a while now.

Morgan also had her first meal (rice cereal) on June 8th and has been loving it ever since! She made the typical "what is this stuff in my mouth" face, but she always wants more and just can't get enough of it. She has been in a highchair a couple of times, and seems to enjoy playing with toys in it. We are still waiting a couple of weeks to eat in it, as she is still a bit unsteady. Below is a video of her first feeding in the bouncy seat.

Morgan's First Meal - June 8th

Below are some pictures of her in the highchair playing! (The first week in June)

Morgan has also taken to her swing again. We think she really enjoys being able to sit up and see more of the world, and she's actually big enough to play with the attached toys now too! Here are a couple pictures of her in the swing. What a cutepie!

The last bit of June news is that Morgan is finally sleeping with her arms out now! Hurray!!! This was a huge deal because she was constantly waking up in the middle of the night when she would become unswaddled! She was just too big to be swaddled anymore. So, last week we began working on that, and she has adapted very well, and so have we because we are getting much more sleep!!! Here is a picture of the first time sleeping with her arms out!

Well, many new things have happened this month and we have loved every minute of it. We'll keep you posted on all of the new things that are still coming up! Until next time...

Morgan's First Long Weekend Away From Home!

May 2007

We are finally home and getting things back to normal after our fun but exhausting trip to St. Paul for Memorial Day Weekend. We were a bit worried about the trip, especially after our experience going to our friends' wedding in Milwaukee a couple weekends ago, but Morgan did absolutely wonderful all weekend long and actually napped in her pack-and-play outside at the park!!! We were very proud parents! She enjoyed meeting the family and getting some fresh air! It was a bit windy, but as you'll see in the video above, she had an adorable hat on and was all cozied up in a blankie, so she was nice and toasty! We got to meet Tom & Angie's new twins, Gavin and Gabrielle. They were just so sweet and adorable. It is hard to imagine that Morgan was almost that tiny only a few short months ago!!! We also got to meet Lila, Ted & Theresa's 5 month-old daughter! She was such a cute little bundle! It is amazing how fast kids grow up and things change in the Bohrer family, so it was great to see everyone and catch up on the past few months!

We stayed with Uncle Eric for a few days and then with Grandpa Larry and Sue and Morgan did very well sleeping at both places. We were grateful that she took to her pack-and-play so quickly! It would have been a long weekend without it! Paul and I were actually able to go out two nights in a row while Grandma Geri spent some time with Morgan. One night we went out with Eric and his girlfriend, Jen, and the other night we got to spend some quality time out at dinner together. It was a great time!

All in all, it was a great first trip for all of us! We had a great time and can't wait until the next time we can go back home!

Mommy found a fun new toy!

Our First Movie - featuring MORGAN

Morgan's First All Day Outing!

We finally had our first day trip as a family this past Saturday. We were not able to get a sitter so we ventured out to a friends wedding, Morgan in tow. She handled being stuck in the car for the ride to Milwaukee fairly well, even though she couldn't get out and play. She was such a good girl all day. She was like a little sponge just taking the whole world in and she was very mellow and barely even made a peep all day.

However, at about 6pm, that all changed! Everything was so new and exciting and she just would not sleep the WHOLE day. So by 6pm she was just pooped; crying and all. Fortunately, we were able to get her to doze off for about a half hour, but since she hadn't slept in hours, that did very little. The screaming began again just as we were pulling out of the reception to head home. She screamed for about a half hour in the car until finally she just gave in to utter exhaustion. So....the lesson learned??? Do WHATEVER POSSIBLE, TO MAKE HER TAKE A NAP!!! There is absolutely nothing worse than being strapped into a car next to a screaming baby who is completely over-tired!

So, that being said, hopefully our trip to St. Paul for Memorial Day Weekend will be much better. Stayed tuned for the update...
