where did 2 months go?

well, i can't believe its been over 2 months since i last blogged!!

so much has been happening. right now the little princess has a throat infection and had very high temps this past weekend. took her to the doctor today, poor thing. she is also suffereing terribly with her back teeth and is screaming blue murder with pain. it is aweful for her and she doesn't know how to handle it. seems very very painful, shame

we have had sickness and more sickness in our house. june wasn't a very healthy month for us! i had tonsilitis and morgan had two courses of antibiotics. i ended up at casualty on sunday morning with a temperature of 40 degrees.

and morgan has had a few birthday parties she has been invited too. its so cute to see them interacting together. not soo much social skills at this stage though, so much to learn...... i try to put her in pretty dresses when we go out, love dressing her up. but since she appears to be such a tom-boy and highly active, i don't think it will be for too much longer!

the paediatrician said today that she has a great vocabulary for her age, and was very impressed she could say 'key'. he said it is very rare at her age to get the -ey sound. she could talk the hind legs off a donkey though, honestly!

and now she is noticing all the aeroplanes, its great. we run outside to look for them in the sky!

hope you are all well. pictures to follow soon

much love
zoe

in the dog bowl

it is suppose to be middle autumn and we are having such wonderful warm days, no complaints! when we were outside today morgan decided to test the dog water bowl. i just stood back and watched her, and then she really got into it and i ran to grab my camera

have a look, she was drenched!


the dog bowl was almost as big as her!
you can see by the amount of water on the floor how much she was splashing about



drenched, top to toe!


not only did she play in the bowl, she proceeded to crawl around in the pool of water and got sooooo dirty. but how much fun she had!

morgan in the sun

today started off cold and windy, but turned out to be a beautiful warm day. duane took her outside with her toys and the dogs and she had a ball. she pulled out all her toys of the bag, climbed up all the furniture outside, chased the cat, tried to eat the pebbles, played in her car walking ring (which sings songs) and ate bacon and pork rashers for the first time ever!

hanging with my friends


on 20th March Mullers and Palmers came for a braai. the 3 girls played on the balcony, and they squealed with delight! melissa and jade ran around in circles, while morgan crawled after them, trying to keep up.


on 27th March we went to Jayden Kock's 1st birthday party. morgan was so pleased to get into the plastic shell and play with the balls, with the boys! she was such a little tomboy, while the other little girls sat on the blanket in the shade. but no worries, jayden then jumped in with her and they threw the brightly coloured balls around together!



morgan loves knox! she squeals when he comes near her, but still knows to keep her distance. he gets a bit too excited some times and we have to step in to get her out the way! she calls him when she is in her feeding chair and its too cute. when yvonne comes in in the morning she asks morgan where knox is and morgan starts looking around for him!


phoebee hasn't always been to keen on the new addition to the family. she has kept her distance for many months. recently however she has warmed up to morgan and comes to investigate this talking walking baba. last week, on 21st april, phoebee came and lay next to morgan on the grass. she even licks morgan's fingers now - but only on her terms and when she wants to.

Drinking beer at 10months old!

Duane and I had a drink tonght with supper, and Morgan decided she also wanted one! She knows that you drink out of a bottle and she's always grabbing our cups and waterbottles. She then lifts the bottles up and pretends to drink!



Here she is taking the bottle off the table. notice the cute Nike Tracksuit, brought all the way from uk from auntie Karen, Uncle Mark, Kerry and Mitchel. perfect as the weather is cooling down now (finally) 






Morgan then offers it to me to have! Look at the smirk on her face. She is standing on the floor without holding on. her balance is so good, sure she'll be walking soon.





"How big is Morgan?" She loves to raise her hands in the air and laughs when she does it...... really thinks she is so good. If she puts her hands up, you have to recognise it and ask her and then she'll put them down!! funny little thing









She is teething and has bright red cheeks. has the 4 front teeth, top and bottom now. it appears the top ones are now cutting through, so lets hope i don't have too disruptive a night!!! lol

Good night, will post pics this weekend of 'the teeth'

walking and talking

hi everyone

Morgan is growing up every day. She has a few new words to add to vocabulary now. She says 'moooo' for a cow (with her lips pressed closed) and tries to say 'woof' but it comes out like wooo!!

Crawling so very fast around the house and chases Phoebee in the lounge, but luckily Phoebee is a very fast cat! Her balance and strength improves daily as she pulls herself up on the furniture and walks around hanging on. I am trying to teach her to stand in the middle of the floor without support. Maybe this time next week i'll have news.

here are a pic or two of the princess:

we went to the Sherwood Garden Centre a few week ends ago and they had a jumping castle there. Morgan absolutly loved it. she bounced around and when she was tired she just rolled around!










23rd March 2010. Morgan is such a happy soul, she loves to laugh and is always smiling. She throws her head back when she laughs, its so cute. Granny taught her to put up her hands when you ask "how big is Morgan?" Now she does it all the time and waits for you to ask her before putting her arms down! little madam....




Hope you are all well. We miss you all, let us know what you are up to

Love Duane, Zoe, Morgie poohs

few pics to update

Morgie phoos is growing sooooo fast. She is extremly mobile now and pulling herself up on all the furniture and anyone that may in her path!

She has just started to stand my herself (for a few seconds only though) until she realises she isn't holding onto anything. Morgan is singing and talking so much. When we fetch her from granny she likes to sing most of the way home.

I think she will definatly be sporting as she is showing good co-ords and is extremely busy. I assume she'll be walking before her 1st birthday in exactly 2 months time.

Here are some pictures of the princess:

7 Months old February 2010 with Uncle Ryan


Morgan loves to throw herhands in the air!
We play "how big is Morgan" and she raises her hands! She often looks at Duane and puts her hands up in anticipation of the game! She's so cute


aaaahhh - tryingdaddy's glasses on!

Weekend at Port Alfred

We went to Rugged Rocks at Port Alfred this weekend. The weather was slightly overcast and not the scorching heat we have been experiencing. It was a welcome change.


Morgan had her first visit to the beach on Saturday. She went in the kangaroo pouch with her daddy and she loved it! chatting away all the way to the beach. Went back on Sunday too and then went swimming in the pool. She loved the water and the sand in her toes. We sat her on the sand and just dug her toes in. Loved every second of it.



We then went back to the pool for a swim. The water was freezing but she insisted and splashed around for ages. Duane eventually got into the pool and swam around with her!



Morgan is 9 and half months now and crawling around like crazy. She is a real chatterbox and loves to squeel with delight. She absolutly loves Knox (the dog) and calls him whenever she can. He licks her hands and she laughs so loudly! Duane is teaching her to stand up and she does a handstand on his chest and then pulls herself up to standing! We then laugh and clap our hands and she thinks she is just so clever. Morgan is such a delight xxx

baba and teeth



Hi guys

Sorry its been such a long time, i've been so busy with Scrapaholics. Have you looked at that blog yet? http://www.scrapaholicsblog.blogspot.com/

I've posted a mini album from Christmas - have a look

On Thursday night Morgan said "Baba" a few times. Now she loves it! She lies there with her toys and says baba, baba, baaaaba!! its too cute

We've been up a few nights this week with those horrid teeth. Shame on Wednesday night she was in real pain, and i had to cuddle her back to sleep (at 4.30am her screams are real loud). Poor thing. The culprits, 2 bottom front teeth, the one has broken through the skin, the other is still slightly swollen. So hopefully within a few days she will be sporting 2 front teeth.

On the crawling front she is much happier to be on her tummy now than she used to be. She is quite moblie, moving from side to side and tummy crawling around. She seems to be assuming the crawling position more easily now and I'm sure she will be off in a few days time! Oh heavens, then the fun starts......
