Miss Morgooo, birth to 6 months

I figured the 6 month mark is the perfect time to put this photo collage together! I'm already thinking about how fast our little chickapee is growing up. And, looking back at the first few months of her life I can't believe how much she's changed. Please note week 1- missing sock, missing mitten, no pants and 2 hats. I think that probably sums up the first month of parenthood (and, her life). Not that we've perfected this whole parenting thing (by any means), but it brings me back to those first few weeks of staying up all night, even when Morgan was sleeping, to make sure she (or was it we?) survived through the nights.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The love is in the air in la casa de Scheck. Daddy Scheck gave us sweet cards and Morgie enjoyed her first day of chocolates and smooches (minus the chocolates). While I cooked dinner, Morgan and Matt had a blast playing in the living room. My heart swells with Valentine's Day love for these two.

Food, food, eat your food!

I probably could have included this in Morgan's 6 month post, but I think we can all agree that solids deserve their own post! We have an eater. And, so far, not a picky one. We've now introduced some basics like avocado, sweet potato, squash, banana and apples. And, Morgan literally gobbles them up.

Now, with the blessing of our doctor, we're starting to move into taking our meals and modifying and making them baby friendly consistencies. For example, right now there is a chicken and vegetable curry dish (with barley) slow cooking at la casa de Scheck. When I get home I'll take some of the vegetables and barley and a bit of the chicken and grind it up into Morgan friendly food. This will be the true test of the baby palate! We're experimenting with the hope that she'll learn to enjoy a variety of foods...and ultimately eat whatever mom and dad are eating. Crossing fingers!

6 months old

I've mentioned it before, but the past couple months have been the best EVER! Morgan is just a blast- rolling around, giggling, chatting, and just having so much fun with life. I cannot believe she's now officially half a year old. CRAZAY! Here is our favorite little gal posing with her favorite giraffe:
