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.

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:

We have a roller. Miss M is now rolling from back to front- and sleeping there. Yes, I know my generation was raised sleeping on our bellies...and YES, we are (obviously) still around to talk about it, but these days we are told non-stop (by pediatricians, and, you know, trusted health professionals) that babies should sleep on their backs. Until they're able to roll themselves over. So, needless to say, although it's perfectly fine that our little gal is sleeping on her belly- since she's rolling herself there- we felt nervous about it at first. For the first few days we'd check on her constantly- kind of felt like the first couple weeks home from the hospital.

But look how cute, and clearly cozy, she is! She's sleeping like a champ. And when Morgie's happy, momma and daddy are happy. I especially like the bum in the air, decorated with a big pink heart.

Just Because....

It's Thursday. Which means tomorrow is Friday. Yee haw! Don't get me wrong, I love my job. But, as a working momma I definitely look forward to weekends even more than I used to. This weekend we're planning to meet up with our friends ,the DiMarcos, as we haven't seen them since I was pregnant! This will be the first time Morgan meets them.

And, just because it's fun to post pics, here is Morgan in the adorable hat I picked up for her a few weeks ago. What a stylish little lady.

She wore an itsy bitsy, teeny weeny diaper built in pink tankini

(Make sure you sing the title to the beat of "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini". Aren't those rhyming skills impressive?) We've signed up for a water babies class with the Whalen's (our pals and nanny share family), and Morgan is just LOVING it! We knew she'd be a natural from bath #1. And, when Ci Ci was here in December she gave Morgie regular swim lessons in the bathtub. So, she clearly has a splash up when it comes to her swim class. So far we've practiced pool side manner (aka not jumping in the water until mom and dad give the thumbs up!) and back floating. Next week is water immersion- like, face under water. Yesterday she was not so thrilled when the instructor put the flower cap on her head (as Auntie Eileen pointed out- anyone would be upset to have such an embarrassing hat on). But seriously, if anyone is cute enough to pull off such a ridiculous cap, it's Morgan.

We are so excited that she's able to take these classes, and Morgan can't wait to show off her swimming skills in June when we meet up with Mark, Steph, Sophie and Hanna in San Diego!

My pumpkin at the pumkin patch

1. How cute is this outfit? (thanks Auntie Steph, Uncle Mark and cousins Hanna and Sophie!)
and
2. How fun is the pumpkin patch?

I had a blast. Morgan slept through most of it, but I'm just excited that she fits into her 0-3 month clothes just in time to wear this perfect fall outfit. We went with our friends Marie and Jason, and their little boy (and one of Morgan's BFF's), Matyas. I had a carameled apple for the first time in years, and it was absolutely delish.
