Happy Valentine's Day!
We are celebrating today with a family day at home - how novel! We realized as we were sitting around reading the paper and drinking coffee this morning, that is has been weeks since we did this. We have either been out of town or both working weekends, tag-teaming our shifts with Morgan. We are enjoying a relaxing day at home and having friends over for dinner tonight.
Here are some recent Morgan funnies. When people ask me what Morgan is up to lately, it's hard to explain exactly how she's changing, even though she is. But it's little things like the way she disciplines herself: she will do something like dump food on the floor or stick her fingers in the VCR, and then say "no no no!" She is suddenly interested in her stuffed animals and dolls. She carries them around the house and chit-chats with them in a very high voice. When we were eating dinner the other night she snatched a paper napkin from me and proceeded to open it and lay it out on the couch, put her head on it and said "night night." Yesterday she took a baby wipe out of a pack and went around "washing" things - a toy dog's face, the dining room chair, the inside of Cookie Monster's mouth (he must have been naughty). So... we are enjoying lots of cute little moments with her, as well as fun tickling and chasing each other around the house!
Morgan graduated to taking big girl baths - unfortunately she likes to stand up and walk around.
Morgan loved this sculpture in Jamison Square last weekend, and we had fun playing peek-a-boo around it.
Morgan and her friend "Bob" dance to the music of Grandpa Ron's jukebox. Bob is actually an old toy of Sam's, and despite his scary plastic face, he is one of her favorite toys at Grandma's.
This is Morgan's terrific nanny, Justine. They have lots of outdoor adventures together, and Morgan has nicknamed her "Teen."
The other day Mo and I made a fort out of two chairs and a static-inducing blanket. She thought it was the coolest thing ever, and made sure all her toy friends came inside as well. Can you tell she was having fun? Here's a video of her explaining to us just how cool it is. The second video is Morgan dancing with Cookie Monster. She requests dance parties - and we turn on the iPod. Here she is dancing and singing (I am proud to say I taught her to sing "doo doo doo.")
