August 27th

In reverse order of when they happened, but I'm lucky to get around to posting anything, so here goes for the last month or so....

Messy baby! She's seeing other kids feed themselves in her new class, so she wants to do it. This particular meal required two baths.

Sam was upstairs looking at the new addition. The wall is now down and we can walk up the stairs like normal people, but for a while we had to go in through the window (again).


Zoo Daddy.


Morgan loves laundry. Specifically, Morgan loves hurling clothes across the room, and then moving them from one basket to another. This could come in handy someday.


And Sam is not the only one who thinks a wrapping paper roll makes a good lightsaber.


Happy baby. The partial leg-hike going on here would turn into a foot-on-the-table if there was a table. That's her new trick.


Aunt Kirsten made Morgan a new dress for her birthday party. Here they are unwrapping it (Morgan didn't quite understand...hopefully she'll figure it out in the next few weeks!

Lance and Allie came for a vist last weekend. They all had a fun time together.

Confirming that she IS Aaron's child....

Sam laid Bitty Baby and Squishy Baby out for a nap, and Morgan crawled in between them and pulled the covers up over them all. Really sweet, and let's hear it for motor skills!


Sam built a blanket tent in the living room.


First day of Kindergarten! (Official first day, with uniforms and everything, is the 31st, but this was the first day of new classroom and teacher.)


He brought his old backpack, and there was a brand new one waiting for him, with his name on it and everything!


Morgan finally got to go swimming! It took her a while to figure out what was happening, but then she loved it.


Sam's baby swim hat...a little small, but gets the job done.




That's a good-looking kid.


Morgan and Crickett seem to like each other, but are still not exactly sure what to think. Unfortunately Morgan has discovered Crickett's water dish. So far we've caught her in time....


Sleepy baby.


Sam has unearthed some of his baby toys and is letting his sister play with them. I caught him with this thing in the kitchen sink, hosing it down to get it clean for her. She LOVES it!


Cookies!!!!!







Morgan has her very own remote. To eat. She knows it's not real, so she still goes for the other ones (and points them at the tv and pushes buttons, and gets confused if nothing happens...).
