I put off posting about Morgan's most recent milestone for fear of jinxing it, but I guess I didn't really need to worry about it because this morning Morgan decided all on her own that she didn't like this new milestone, lol. Last Saturday we moved Morgan from the bassinet by our bed to her crib (which is still in our room, but on the far side.) She took to the crib GREAT....until last night. Not sure if it's the crib or her just going through a "growth spurt" (the explanation for everything really, lol). Morgan was up at 11pm, 12:30am, 1:30, 3:30, and finally 4am! Morgan has been a great sleeper up to this point, sleeping usually 7 to 9 hours straight, so I'm hoping this is just a one night fluke or a short growth spurt and she'll be back to her joyous sleepy self in a day or two! John was right when he said it was like she was a newborn all over again, grrrrr! And Morgan may not be the only one not adjusting all that well to her move to the crib. Mommy really doesn't like not being able to just roll over to see her and check on her. I've been getting up usually two to three times a night just to walk over to the crib to make sure she's okay. It's driving me crazy that I can't see her, hopefully this will get better over time.

Morgan is still talking up a storm, and talking LOUD too, lol! We were walking through Target last weekend and she was just having a heyday in her stroller talking really loud and laughing. It was really cute and made mommy and daddy laugh a lot too, not to mention it made a lot of fellow shoppers very curious to see what little one was making all that noise. I swear we can't seem to go anywhere without having several people stop us to say how beautiful she is. No one can seem to get over how much hair she has either, which by the way is starting to turn a golden blond color believe it or not! We all kinda wanted it to stay dark because she has such beautifully striking blue eyes and the dark hair just magnifies them, but the golden color is just as pretty too. :) She has also started reaching out for things and holding toys (with both hands). Actually the reaching and holding seemed to happen overnight, lol! One day she wanted nothing to do with anything and the next day she wanted to hold everything...toys, her bottle, moms hair! She smiles constantly and that NEVER gets old for mommy and daddy! I don't think you experience true joy and happiness until your child gives you the worlds biggest smile! I swear it makes me want to cry when she gives me those big grins, it fills my heart with such pure joy and love for her. Gosh I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about her smiles...I'm such a mom anymore.

Morgan will have her 4 month check-up next week, so we'll see how much she has grown since her 3 month check-up. She's definitely getting longer because she is fitting into her 6 month sleepers perfectly (I don't think they will fit her in another month!). We just moved her up to size 2 diapers and most of her 3 month pants and onsies don't fit her very well anymore. We've pretty much got her in 3 - 6 month clothes now. I really can't believe how fast they grow, they seem to learn new things every day. I was taking pictures of her last night and it was amazing, and shocking, to see how much she has changed just in the last few weeks. She just looked so much older...I couldn't believe it! I'll have to download them and let you see for yourself, it's crazy!

Well, I think this is all I have for now. Sorry, I have no new pictures to post. :( I need to download them and then I'll share. :) Thank you for stopping by and reading about our "Little Miss" Morgan. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
