Whheeeeeee!

Some more park fun! Morgan's first slide ride....

Morgan is 7 months old!

Wow. I can't believe it's been 7 months since this little gal was born. I just want her to stay exactly this size forever! She is officially sitting up all by herself. In addition to her favorite toys, Morgan loves books, blocks and drinking out of big people cups (she shunned the sippy cup). She's loving a wide variety of food these days as well!

A Town So Nice They Named It Twice

First of all....geez it's been a while since I've updated! I wrote this blog last week but didn't have the picture so I've been saving it. Now you can enjoy!

Don't know which town I'm referring to in the title above? Why, Walla Walla, of course. Morgan took her first trip to her mama's hometown (and, home of all the extended Biagi side of the family). The drive to Walla Walla was smooth sailing, Miss M slept most of the way. The way home was a bit stickier, since it was mid afternoon and it was play time! But, I sat in back with her and entertained her (or was she entertaining me?).

Grams and gramps Biagi threw her a little meet and greet at great grandpa and grandma's house (does this all make sense?), where she got to meet extended family and family friends. She was her usual social butterfly self, giggling and chatting.

During our trip we stayed with our friends the Whalens, which was a lot of fun. We stopped by a couple of parks and the kids had a blast playing on the swings and slides. Makes us really look forward to the warmer months when we can get out and about regularly.

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:
