Before and After
Morgan is growing so fast. Ariella decided to take another shot of Morgan in the same outfit the other day to see how much she has grown from June to now.
Trip to Aunt Kathy's
Morgan had her first road trip. On Saturday, we all piled into the car are went up to Aunt Kathy's in North Jersey.
Morgan had some company in the backseat for her first trip. She spent most of the time staring and flirting with Jon, while Aunt Jenny colored in a princess coloring book.
Morgan met her Great Grandmother Sakraida for the first time. She squirmed alot but really liked listening to her grandmother's voice.
Morgan also got to hang out with her Great Aunt Kathy.
In fact, she liked Great Aunt Kathy so much that she decided to suck on Kathy's wrist while she stared at her great Grandmother talking......
After all that excitment she was too tired to smile for Aunt Lindsay......

Diagnosis: She's a peanut
Morgan had her 2-month doctor appointment today.
She weighed in at an even 10 lbs, and measured 22 1/8 inches. Both of those measurements put her in the 25-50th percentile. So, for now, she's a little peanut like her Mom. (On the other hand, the size of her head is in the 50+ percentile. So, for now, she's got a big ol' noggin like her Dad.)
Morgan also had her first round of immunization shots today. She cried louder than we've ever heard her cry before, but she seems to be doing okay now.
The doctor was impressed with how well she holds up her head, and how much she sleeps at night. So, all in all, things are going great.
But, we realize none of you come to this website to read the articles. So here are a bunch of cute photos of Morgan from the past couple weeks:

Morgan @ 2 months
July 3rd marked Morgan's 1/6th birthday. In the last few weeks, she's started smiling much more often. She makes all sorts of gurgling sounds (some happy, some not so much). She's grown out of all of her newborn clothes. And this week, she slept through the night for the first time (9:30pm to 5am).
Morgan's 1st 4th
We kicked-off Morgan's first Independence Day by taking her to the 4th of July Parade in nearby Haddonfield.
Watching the parade pass by, Morgan summed up her feelings on patriotism as follows: "To me, America means liberty, equality, and the freedom to spit up on whomever I choose."
After a while, Morgan decided it was time for a mid-parade nap.
After her quick cat-nap, Morgan was alert, refreshed, and stopping parade traffic with her big smile.

Morgan's Pool Party
Morgan had her first dip in the pool this week. Her BFF Cooper was in town, so they had a play date at his grandma's house.
Morgan was ready for summer with sunscreen, a hat, and sun glasses!
Even with all the UV protection, she still managed look cute...
We dipped her feet in first...
She seemed to like it, so it was finally time for our future Olympian to have her first official swim (thanks to Aunt Lindsay for the cool Speedo bathing suit)!
Morgan felt right at home in the water. In fact, she even spit up in the pool -- just like she does everywhere else (note the white spots on the front of her bathing suit.)
After all that excitement, Morgan finished off the day quality lap time with Mom.

Morgan's big week
Morgan had a very exciting week. This week, she started smiling more and more often (sorry, no great photos of that yet -- she doesn't smile on command yet). She's getting much better at grabbing objects, and discovered that playing with her dolly is a pretty good time.
And she figured out that shaking her lamb rattle is also a pretty good time.
Morgan's vision and observation skills also continue to improve. This week, she finally noticed the toy fish that rotate around over her head when she's in her swing. Now she's absolutely fascinated watching them go round and round.
On Friday afternoon, Dad took advantage of his summer hours at work, so Morgan took advantage of having a nice place to nap that afternoon...
Aunt Lindsay came for a visit this weekend. With her new observation skills, Morgan had a "Holy crap, you look like my Mom" moment.
On Saturday, Morgan put on her cute party dress and went to Katie's 5th birthday party...
At the party, Morgan took a whack at her first pinata...
After a few hours, though, Morgan was all partied out...
So we packed her up in her car seat and headed back home (making sure not to forget our mini-maraca from inside the pinata... look in her left hand)
By the time we got home, Morgan had taken a nap and was excited to hold the balloon Katie sent home with us.
