Ok, so we know we shouldn't encourage this. But how can you help yourself when she is having so much fun?

Morgan has a nemesis!
It's been a rough month for Morgan. She was sick over Christmas and took a good 2 weeks to get over the cold. She started a new daycare and promptly got a stomach bug. Fortunately, Morgan is finally starting to feel more like herself. Morgan has requested no photos while she has been ill but wanted to share a web site that her Aunt Lindsay created.
Enjoy!

Morgan at 8 months
Morgan hit the 8-month on Saturday.
This month wasn't really all that eventful for Morgan. I mean, all she did was get her first tooth, get her first really nasty cold (and her first nebulizer), learned how to sit herself back up, learned how to crawl, learned how to pull herself up to a standing position, celebrated her first Christmas, unwrapped a mountain of presents, and visited with the Saucier and Sakraida families for the holidays.
But other than that, it was a pretty quiet month. :-)
Crawling & Cooper
By Sunday after Christmas, Morgan had gotten over her cold and was ready to practice her crawling skills. After all, her pal Cooper was coming over to visit -- and he's a got a reputation in baby circles for being a very fast crawler.
Now that she's more mobile, Morgan is discovering all sorts of new places to explore. Underneath the dining room table is one of her favorites.
When Cooper showed up, he and Morgan discovered that they both got toy giraffes for Christmas.
Morgan: "Hey, Cooper which giraffe leg do you like to chew on?" Cooper: "I'm a fan of the back left leg." Morgan: "No kidding! Me too!"
Morgan: "Umm... excuse me, Cooper... that's MY dad you're crawling on! Hands off, bub."
After playing for a while, Morgan and Cooper got to open a few presents. The presents were great, but ripping up all the tissue paper was definitely the highlight.

Christmas Again
On New Year's Day, Grandma and Grandpa arrived from Utah. Which means that Friday was "Christmas Part 2" for Morgan with the Sakraidas.
Morgan unwrapped another pile of presents, which included new "big girl" bibs, and an alphabet caterpillar.
Grandma and Grandpa's "big gift" turned out to be the "Crawl & Cruise Musical Jungle"! As usual, Morgan was very intrigued by the pictures of little kids on the box.
This was Morgan's first experience with the phrase "some assembly required". So Morgan supervised while Dad and Grandpa put it together.
When it was all put together, Morgan quickly figured out how to pull herself up and hang out with the monkey, hippo and elephant.

Morgan's First Christmas
It was a busy holiday week at the Saucier household, to say the least.
Earlier in the week, Morgan got her first tooth, and really got the hang of crawling. On Tuesday, she woke up with a chest cold and had to make her first unplanned trip to see the doctor.
Despite a bad cough and a runny nose, Morgan was all smiles for Christmas Day, and enjoyed visiting with Aunt Lindsay and Jenny, Mayie and P-Paw, Aimee, Russ, Henry and Alex.
(And, of course, she enjoyed opening all the gifts from Santa.)
On Christmas Eve, Morgan and Dad read her Christmas book before she finally nestled all snug in her bed. Not sure if Morgan had visions of sugar plumbs dancing in her head that night... but she was taking her medicine at the time, so anything is possible.
On Christmas morning, Morgan woke up at 5am, partly because she was congested and partly because she was excited to see what Santa had brought for her. (Later on, Ariella and Andy realized that 5am is as late as they'll get to sleep on a Christmas morning until Morgan is a teenager.)
We kept Morgan occupied for a little while. But by 7am, there was no keeping her away from the presents under the Christmas tree. So we got started on the first of three present-opening sessions on Christmas Day.
Morgan got the hang of opening presents pretty quickly. She seemed equally excited about what was in the present as she was about ripping the paper.
The most interesting thing for Morgan, though, was the picture of the baby on her Busy Ball Popper. She smiled at her, and patted her face.
By 8:30, Morgan had opened up new blocks, new toy animals, and so much more. After all that excitement, it was time for a nap.
Around 10am, Aunt Jenny and Jon showed up for present-opening session #2. This time, Morgan cleaned up again, with more toys and a clothes. Here, she's modelining her "NFL Baby" onsesie (non-team-specific, since Morgan is still weighing her options -- will she be a Patriots fan like Dad, or root for the hometown Philadelphia Eagles...? Decisions, decisions)
In the afternoon, Mayie and P-Paw arrived from Connecticut, and Aunt Aimee, Uncle Russ and Henry & Alex drove down from North Jersey. So it was time for present-opening session #3.
Morgan's favorite gift from the afternoon was her "Lil' Superstar" musical sing-along toy from Aimee, Russ, Henry and Alex.
After all the presents were opened, Morgan had hugs and thank-you's for everyone.
After dinner, Morgan and Alex played by the Christmas Tree. Finally, it was time to get a good night's rest after an exciting first Christmas.
