Morgan at 21 Months


I guess this is as good a time as any to update. I'm home with a sick kid that is going on her 3rd hour of napping and I just realized this was a perfect opportunity. I mean really...this doesn't happen very often!

So anyway, Morgan is as always growing up so fast. I can't believe how much she is able to absorb in that little brain of hers at this age (she's not even 2 yet!)...she is constantly amazing us! She can sing most of the alphabet (she loves to sing it to daddy on the way to Grandma's in the morning) and now she can point out some letters to us like B,O, and P. She knows her shapes and can also count to ten and will count the number of stairs as she walks up them. We went to the zoo a couple of weekends ago and we passed a double stroller and out of the blue she says, "two babies, two babies!" Anytime there is more then one of something she will usually pick up on it and say two babies, or three flags, or two bikes. Morgan notices EVERYTHING, I can't believe how observant she is, and I do believe a lot of the credit for her having all this knowledge at such a young age should go to Grandma. Grandma spends a lot of time teaching her so many great things...and we feel so blessed for it!

Morgan also loves to play "mommy" to her baby dolls and it's the cutest thing to watch. She'll lay them down and put blankets on them, feed them, and wash them. She's big into mimicking us as well, which has made me more aware of the things I say and do these days. She is also learning her manners as well. We're working on saying please and thank you...or no thank you, instead of just NOOOOO, lol! Yeah, she loves the word "No" and can say it with such conviction...so we're working on that.

We've bought a potty chair for her to have a Grandma's house. She likes it and knows what it's for, but we haven't had a chance to really work with her on it yet. I think once we get serious about it, she will as well, and then I don't think it will take long for her to get the hang of it.

All and all, Morgan is doing awesome! She is super smart, super sweet, and super funny, and we are loving every minute of it! She will be two in just a few months and I don't know where all the time has gone...but I do know that we've loved and cherished every second of it and feel so blessed for it all. We are truly blessed!
