There's nothing like a warm bath at the end of a long day to help you relax, right? Morgan found that out first-hand the other night. In fact, she found her bath so relaxing that she slept (and snored) through the whole thing.

One Month of Morgan
Okay, technically Morgan's one-month "birthday" isn't until Tuesday. But today marks 4 weeks since she was born, so close enough.
In those 4 weeks, Morgan has gone from a screaming infant who kept us up at all hours of the night to a sweet little baby who only keeps us up certain hours of the night (from 2-3am, in particular).
She's also gone from nursing to formula. And, in the process, she's gone from her birth weight of 7 lbs/14 oz down to 7 lbs/3 oz, up to 8 lbs/5 oz, and kept going to whatever she weighs right now (probably about 9 lbs -- most of it in her chubby cheeks).
Here's her one-month photo...

Tummy Time!
Morgan spent some time in her play yard this morning, which turned out to be a nice little photo opportunity.

Morgan meets the world
Everyone says they they're coming to see all of us. But we know who everyone wants to see: Morgan.
The fun started on May 10, when Joe & Sheila arrived (a.k.a. Grandpa & Grandma, or whatever Morgan decides to call them)
Morgan and Aunt Lindsay are already BFFs...
Inter-generational photo opp #1: Morgan and Mom with Nanna...
Inter-generational photo opp #2: Four generations of Stock/Riley/Sakraida/Saucier gals...
On Sunday, May 25, our friends Jeff & Nicole stopped by to introduce their new addition to the family, Cooper...
The first face-to-face meeting of Cooper and Morgan...
After all those introductions, Morgan finally got some quality time with Mom.

Morgan's not the only baby on the block!
So the other day, we saw our Ground Hog. Apparently, she had a nice winter in hibernation. And is ready for another year of grazing on our weedy yard.
Well, today we discovered that she was busy making a baby of her own, two in fact!
Take a look at this video of the newest babies on the block.

Baby's First Bath
We gave Morgan a sponge-bath last night. Ariella's baby book says a sponge bath is a great way to calm the baby down before bed time.
Looking at the pictures below, you'll see that the book is obviously very, very wrong. :-)

Morgan Elizabeth Saucier
At 3:58pm Saturday, May 3, 2008, Morgan Elizabeth was added to the Saucier family.
She was a week earlier than her scheduled due date, but more than ready to take on the world. She tipped the scales at 7 lbs, 14 oz and measured 19.75 inches.
Mom and baby are both doing great. We'll all be coming home from the hospital on Monday.
Here are a few photos of the lil' lady. More to come, we promise.

Almost finished
The baby could arrive any day now. Luckily, our kitchen is almost finished (finally).
The granite guys came by today to install the counter tops. The "L" that runs from the oven and around the sink needed to be 2 pieces. (If you can spot the seam, you win a prize). The other "L", on the bar side of the room, was one massive slab of granite. We figure it weighed between 300+ lbs, based on the look on the guys faces when they carried it in.
Our contractor is coming back on Friday to put in the tile backsplash and finish up all the little details. If all goes well, we'll be able to load up the cabinets this weekend and -- amazing but true -- actually cook in our kitchen. We haven't been able to do that since the end of January. Some of our pots, pans and utensils haven't been unpacked since before we moved to New Jersey from Massachusetts (almost 18 months ago). So, basically, we're really looking forward to having this done once and for all. (Oh yeah, and there's that whole "impending birth" issue, too). :-)
