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:

Labor Day Weekend in St. Paul

Labor Day weekend was a great extended weekend for us. We left Friday night and didn't have to come back until Tuesday. It was a great trip! We were able to catch up with a lot of the family and Morgan was able to play with her cousins!

On Saturday, Morgan spent some time with Grandma while Paul and I went out for a few hours. It was great for Paul and I spend some quality time together! Of course, that doesn't happen too often these days, so it was much appreciated. Saturday evening, Paul, Morgan and I met up with the cousins and their kids. Morgan got to sit and play with Lila, baby Gavin, and baby Gabby. Meanwhile, Emma, Ashlyn and Izzy were running around playing too! We also got to visit with Tracy, who is due with twins in December! She looked wonderful and it was great to hear all about those sweet little boys growing in her tummy! It was a regular daycare, but it was a lot of fun to watch them all and catch up! We stayed pretty late and Morgan did very well sleeping at their place. I guess she felt right at home with all the kids running and crawling around!

Gone are the days of sleeping in after staying out late! So, we tried to have a relaxing Sunday morning and in the afternoon we spent some time with Grandpa Larry, and Sue. Morgan was a bit hesitant around Grandpa Larry, but it didn't take long before she was giving him her sweet dimpled smiles! Morgan even took a good nap at their house. We're glad we have such a versatile daughter and she doesn't seem to be very picky about where she sleeps!

Monday Paul and I went to the Twins game, which was quite uneventful, but it was still fun to get out and enjoy the afternoon. Morgan played with Cousin Lila at Ted and Theresa's house while we were gone. Finally, Tuesday we headed home. We were all exhausted, but we had a blast!

Below are some pictures from the trip!

Labor Day Weekend

Morgan's First Parade!

August has been a fun month, although it has just flown by! Morgan is now 7 months old! Whoa! Where has the time gone! She is growing up too fast! She still is not crawling, but we really don't think she will crawl. We have a learning table that she loves to stand at and play. She can stand for quite some time too. She also loves to lean against the couch and play with her toys on the couch!

Just last weekend we went to Morgan's first parade. The Middleton Parade. It was actually such a big parade that had to leave in the middle of it for nap time. Morgan did great and loved it. She wasn't scared at all. A couple times she made some pretty weird faces, but she loved it! Below are some pictures from the Parade!

Good Times in July & August

Morgan turned 6 months old on July 29th. How crazy is that??? We had her 6 month check and she is doing great. She is now 19 pounds 8 ounces and 27 inches long. A very big girl! She is still at the top of the charts for height and weight. Fortunately now she is growing into her head too!

Morgan is now sitting up all on her own, with the occasional tipsy topple! Yay!!! She is also eating big girl food and trying some of our dinners too! This morning Morgan and I had to run some errands so we stopped at Denny's and had breakfast. She got to have some potatoes. Very exciting! I think the jury is still out on the taste of them!

Here are some new pictures! Can you believe she is already 6 months old???!!!
