growing up

Morgan is now officially a big girl! She moved into her own room on Sunday night, and tonight is night 3 all by herself. Her bedtime is 7pm, and she usually puts herself to sleep. She's getting very good at doing that and i'm sure it will pay off in the long run.....

We started some cereal on Sunday, but she didn't think much of it at all. Looked like she was going to gag! She took it all though, but today she was a bit tired when i gave it to her and she cried and protested and looked as if she had something really horrid in her mouth! The faces she pulled, you'd think it was a cockroach instead of yummy kids rice cereal. Mom's can't win.

Sitting and raspberries and laughing

Summer finally seems to have arrived, albeit a month late! Morgan is wearing nothing more than a nappy and sometimes a shirt during the day. She is enjoying the freedom! Her aunty Jacqui bought a cute summer hat which she wears in the garden during the day, getting some fresh air.

All this sun and fresh air is making her rather sleepy. On Tuesday night she fell asleep straight after her bath, on my bed. She was out for the count...... totally exhausted! She doesn't wake in the night really any more. I stopped feeding her during night at about 4 months and it has taken a little while to break the habit, but seems to be paying off now.

Morgan continues to blow raspberries, drooling worse than ever and talking to all her friends and her hands. Its too cute really, and in the car I get wonderful renditions when she sings to her friends.

BUT in all this cuteness and sweet baby lies a fiesty strong willed monster. yes, it is true - Morgan has a mind of her own. She doesn't show it all the time, but i must tell you that it is becoming more evident when she doesn't get her own way! Well, what chance did she have with both Duane and myself being strong headed, poor girl.
