Morgan is 9 months old

Morgan is 9 months old now--how time flies!

She went to the doctor today for her 9 month visit and got a flu shot and boy did she cry! She's 17 lbs. 13 oz. and that puts her in the 25th percentile for weight and she 29" long and that puts her in the 86th percentile for height! She's defenitely small compared to Lauren at this age!

She's still not taking a bottle--and we gave up on baby food a long time ago! All she eats is table food when she's in the mood to eat! :-) She's very, very busy and always on the go! She's cruising and letting go and taking steps by herself. She can take about 6 or 7 steps alone but she still prefers to crawl to get there faster! Dr. Cohen says once they can take 5 steps alone that is considered walking but I think we still have a week or so more before she's exclusively walking! She has her two bottom teeth and I think she's cutting a few more!

Her new favorite thing is bathtime--she loves the water! She's constantly crawling into the bathroom and playing with the toys in the bathtub.

The Pumpkin Patch with Abuela

We went shopping at the Galleria today with Abuela (my mom) and then we headed to the pumpkin patch at the church by her house! The girls really enjoyed it and Morgan found one pumpkin she really loved--it was almost as big as her! Here are some pictures of us at the pumpkin patch!

Morgan has been practicing something new this week--she's almost walking! She'll take off and then fall, but she's almost there! Check out the little video clip!

Dewberry Farms

We went to Dewberry Farms this weekend with Aunt Sara and Uncle Bobby and Cousin Drew. The girls had a good time! We went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and Laruen enjoyed picking up the small pumpkins. Lauren also enjoyed playing in the toddler play area. Here are some pictures from our day!

Cheers!

Lauren loves to dig in the cabinets when we are in the kitchen making dinner--and yesterday she came across a plastic blue margarita glass! She quickly took it without me noticing it and filled it up with water and the rest is history! This is her favorite glass now!

I love carrots!

Morgan is eating more and more! We've found that the key to getting her to eat is letting her feed herself--although it's quite a mess, we have given in! Here are some pictures of her eating carrots and enjoying them! Notice the nice mess that she has made! Some of her other favorite finger foods are turkey, chicken, cheese puffs, diced peaches, and mandarin oranges!

Making Cupcakes with Mommy!!

We went to Target today and normally Lauren would ask for M & M's but today she wanted cupcakes instead. She got the cupcake mix (got it off the shelf herself) and then we went to pick out frosting and of course she wanted PINK with sprinkles! After lunch today (while Morgan was napping)we decided to bake the cupcakes because that is all she was talking about! Here are some pictures...
