Tummy Time

Letter to Morgan - 10 Months

Baby Girl,

It's amazing that 10 months have already passed and we fall more in love with you every day. This past month has been very busy for you! You went on your first plane ride to Iowa and you did great! You met your Grandma Beverly's side of the family and you met Mommy's best friend Patti as well. You started Daycare this past month, which was VERY difficult for Mommy, but you did great and adjusted in no time. You started holding your bottle on your own and you're soooo close to crawling. You've got two top front teeth, one bottom and two more that are coming in. You're starting to eat regular food and seem to enjoy eating most everything except jarred lasagna, which you spit out. You are such a good baby - so many people have commented not only on how pretty you are, but also how good you are. You have the cutest little personality and you're now giving kisses when asked, although you're still stingy with them! You love stuffed animals and playing with boxes. You also like to play with anything that is electronic - remote, cell phone, mouse, camera, you name it. These past 10 months have been so amazing and I know you have a lot more in store for us. We love you Little Punks!

The Big 4-0!

Brian threw an 80's themed party to celebrate my 40th birthday. With the help of Lisa and Peggy, they decorated the living room like the "Footloose" prom. The party was a blast and the cake was AMAZING! Thank you babe for a 'totally awesome' party!

High School Reunion

In the midst of a family reunion and my birthday party, we also attended Brian's 20 year high school reunion. Brian was on the planning committee and actually ended up doing a lot of the planning on his own. He did a great job and had a wonderful time reconnecting with his high school friends.

Birthday Breakfast

Our co-workers took me and Julie out for breakfast last Friday to celebrate our birthdays (one week apart) at Kathleen's Sky Diner. They have THE BEST cheese grits in town! Julie looks fabulous in the photos, but I must mention that I had just found out that my dog had died, so I'm looking every bit of my 40 years!

Wonderful Co-Workers. Thanks for the amazing breakfast!

Morgan stayed with Grammy & Pap this past weekend and these are the photos that Grammy emailed to us while she was feeding Morgan spaghetti.

Daycare

Today was Morgan's first day at daycare. She did great, but I had an extreme case of separation anxiety. I've been with her all day long for almost 2 weeks straight and today was extremely difficult for me. I know that it will get easier as the days and weeks go by and I also know that Morgan will thrive in a daycare environment because of her outgoing personality.
