This is how we spend our snow days in the Jenkins household. Is it possible that Morgan is a little over four months old? Why, yes, it is! We celebrated her four month birthday with some singing of Happy Birthday and some shared giggles.
As for milestones, she's keeping us on our toes:
In mid-December her first teeth began coming in. Now, her two bottom teeth are through and she has another starting on the bottom, right side. Although she was born with a full head of thick, dark hair, it started falling out and is in the process of coming back in lighter- more of a chestnut color (beautiful!). As for her eyes, they are still a beautiful blue- a hue darker than her daddy's and just a shade lighter than my own.
Morgan has been rolling over (and over, and over) for about three weeks now. She spends more time on her tummy now, as she is happier when she can flip over on her own and decide to go back to her back whenever she pleases (and can manage to get her arm out from under her). Now, she's proceeding to the next step- using her knees to push up. However, this is a rare sight at this point- but we've noticed it a couple of times. My main worry at this point is her rolling over and sleeping on her tummy. I know it is going to happen, but it just worries me, as it supposedly increases the risk of SIDS.
We recently completed are taxes and are getting back a chunk of our hard-earned money. So, this weekend we will purchase Morgan a few of the items we held off on (a walker/bouncer, a high-chair). Morgan has tried applesauce, carrots, and fried egg yolk at this point- I think in the next couple of months we'll venture closer to 'high-chair status'.
Tyler is doing a remarkable job as a stay-at home daddy by weekday and full-time worker by weekend. I don't know how I ended up with such an awesome guy, loving husband, and fantastic daddy- I surely don't deserve it. I hear people say all the time that they have 'the best' husband/wife, but I get to live that situation daily- for that I am indebted to fate. As for Tyler and I, we celebrated 8 years as a couple (seven years of marriage come this may) this January. Is that even possible?!? It seems like only yesterday we were sitting at Barnes & Noble on our first date, writing letters throughout his basic training, and walking in the rain down the streets of Baltimore... oh, life's surprises.
Kibbles is adjusting to Morgan and the fact that she is not always front and center these days. Although she's been scolded for acting out and climbing on the counters, she is still a loving kitty. Morgan has started to take note of her presence and has even reached out and pet her with an open hand as of late. Kibbles is taking it all in stride and I have to applaud her for that.
We had a photographer here at our house today to take photos (we had a free sitting/8 by 10)... I'll plan on posting those in a couple of weeks.
Until then,
