FOUR MONTHS

Carley had her 4 month checkup yesterday. She was so funny at the appt. I was undressing her so they could check her out and do all her measurements and weight and she just went to laughing out loud. It was sooo dang cute. I wish I would have had it on camera. Her checkup went really well. She is definitely a growing baby. She now weighs: 16 lbs 7 oz. She is 24 1/4 inches long. She is still in the 97% for weight and has dropped to 75% for height. My little baby ain't so little anymore :):) We got the go ahead to start her on cereal and slowly introduce fruits and veggies to her diet. I'm excited about that, I love when they get ready to eat real food......maybe she'll start sleeping better too :):) Her doctor is so wonderful, I hope we never have to find another pediatrician----he is absolutely wonderful. He has a true love for kids, and is so personable. Carley kept giving everyone big ole smiles in the office, everyone loves to see her when we come in. We love, love, love, this little girl. She is so smiley and happy and loves for her big sister to talk and sing to her. Carley is a big bright spot in our lives and keeps us smiling all the time.

sweet girl

This is a special blog for our sweet Tegan. Everyone always ohhs and ahhs when a new baby is around and the older siblings seem to get left out sometimes, so I wanted to do a blog in her honor. She is such a sweet girl, and teaches us so many things that we actually should be teaching her. She NEVER forgets anything, so if we tell her she can have something tomorrow morning, she WILL remember it. For example, the other night it was late and she wanted a snack, but because it was so late we told her after you go to sleep and wake up and eat your breakfast, tehn you can have this snack. Well, as soon as she woke up and ate her breakfast, she remembered that snack and was asking for it again. Because she doesn't forget anything, we have to always be careful what we say.... we might say "Oh Crap" and you better believe she will hear it no matter where she is in the house and she will repeat it and will remember it....but this is all a good thing because it makes us aware of what we say and how we do things. She always remembers that we have to say prayer before we eat and makes sure we have family prayer every night before going to bed--she always wants to say it. She LOVES church...she wants to go to church everyday and go to nursery. She is now in the Senior nursery and her teachers are wonderful...Tegan absolutely loves them. Tegan is our love and we are so grateful and blessed to have her in our life.

THE MORGAN GIRLS

A few days after Christmas, my Nanny(my mom's mom), my 2 aunts(mom's sisters) and all my girls cousins came to visit. We had a wonderful visit up at my mom and dad's house. It was so great to see everyone and spend time with them. We haven't been able to get to see each other that often in the past few years, so it was definitely a fun time. My nanny had all her daughters there, all her granddaughters, and there were 4 generations all(Nanny, Mom, Me, Tegan & Carley). I love all my cousins and I hope we can continue to keep in touch through facebook and blogging, etc.

Christmas Day!!!

Well, I am finally getting around to blog about our Christmas. It was a very wonderful Christmas. We were blessed to get to travel to Waycross on Tuesday, Dec. 23 to spend time with Terrel's family and do Christmas present exchange there. On Dec. 24, Christmas eve, we came back home to Atlanta, so we could get ready for Santa to come. Well, I guess Tegan and Carley were both very good girls because Santa brought them so many toys. Tegan had such a great time with all her new toys from Santa. It was really funny on Christmas morning, because I was in the living room getting the video camera set up to video Tegan running in to see what she got....and as soon as I got in there she ran in after me before I was able to get the video going....and when she ran in she said, 'Thankyou Mommy, I love it!!!".. so I told her to run back to the bedroom with Daddy and Carley and then come in when I call you.... so she did, and when I called them back in the living room I had the camera ready and she did the exact same thing....it was definetly priceless. She was so cute and fun on Christmas morning.
