Is this cruel and unusual punishment?

Darby dressed piglet up in an evening gown. Who has and evening gown for their dog?!!?! Ummm, yep, my sister does.

Morgan Rolled Over Tonight at 4mo 2 days old

Morgan rolled over tonight! I put him down for bed and he was whimpering. Then, I noticed that his whimper changed. So, I went upstairs (we are in Colorado at Matt & Mary's house) and had rolled from his stomach to his back! Yes, we let him sleep on his stomach. It's so exciting! I was reading in a book last night that babies typically roll over around the 5 month mark. So, he is a FULL MONTH AHEAD! We have given birth to the world's next genius!

Hanging Out With Christi, Scott & Wyatt

Dan in the pool with baby Morgan and holding baby Wyatt. Wyatt is 2 months older than Morgan. I've been friends with Wyatt's mom, Christi, since the 1st grade! Now, our little boys will be in the same grade together. Scott grilled up some yummy meats on the grill, and we all hung out poolside. This video is hilarious. Morgan can go from happy to sad in no time!

Trent Sings Lullaby to Morgan

This is a video from about 6 weeks ago when my friend Jen and her son Trent were in town. Trent is singing a "lullaby" to Morgan. Listen carefully... you will crack up!

Morgan 15 Weeks Old

Morgan is 15 weeks old today! He's getting so big. He feels solid now. And, his personality is really starting to shine. Check out the video of him in his exersaucer. He's still a little young for it. But, I let him hang out for a while. His little legs are so strong. It looks like he is trying to stand up on his own. He's also started putting toys in his mouth. I'm sure that his little teeth will start to pop up any day now!

Father's Day 2007

Today was Dan's 1st Father's day. We started off the day by letting dear ol' Dad sleep in until about 11:30. We laid around for most of the day. Dan cooked some ribs for dinner. Grandpa Bruce stopped by and we reminisced about the good days at Camp Longhorn. And, we talked about the fact that Morgan is going to be a famous rock star in additon to a winning golfer. No pressure little guy! It was a great day.








Grandpa Bruce and Dad Dan on Dan's 1st Father's Day


I caught Morgan laughing on video!

Morgan's First Swim

Today Morgan is 14 weeks and 1 day old. We went over to GG's house and she heated the pool to just the right temperature. He loves the water. He wore his "surf dude" swim trunks, and we showed him how to splash water. He's so athletic!

Grandpa Hangs Out With Morgan

Grandpa came by the house today to hang out with baby Morgan. Morgan actually took an AFTERNOON nap today! A 2 hour afternoon nap! So, Grandpa had to wait. When he finally woke up we went to El Chico. Morgan made it about 15 minutes by himself in his car seat at the table before he got a little fussy. He just wanted to sit in my lap at the table. He was fine after that. Then, we went back to the house where Grandpa gave Morgan a bath before bed. Grandpa said it reminded him of washing a dog in the bathtub! Watch the video below. Morgan will be 14 weeks old tomorrow.

1st Laugh Today!

Well, I missed it. But Dan called me as I was driving to the grocery store. Morgan laughed for the first time today (13 weeks 4 days). Dan was playing with him and pulling his arms and biting at his belly. Evidently Morgan thinks that is hilarious! We tried to make him repeat it tonight without much luck. I'm sure that it will soon become a regular event for our little man. I was thinking tonight about how lucky we are to experience all of Morgan's "firsts" with him. There are so many more to come!

We both went out for the first time this weekend. I went out with a girlfriend and Dan went fishing with the guys. It was so odd to be away from baby Morgan. GG (Georgeous Grandma) babysat. Thanks GG!

Morgan's First Shower

Morgan had his first shower today, and he was a total rock star! He was a slippery little fellow. I had to sit down to soap him up. He loved the shower. I wanted to make sure that he got a good "cleaning" because he now constantly has drool coming out of his mouth. It's been like this for the past two weeks. Reni said that it means teeth are on the way!

He is also on the brink of laughing. Today he made a crazy sounding squeal that was ALMOST a laugh. He looked very shocked right after he did it.

He's becoming so much more alert. I had him in his stroller in the dining room and went back to the back of the house to get something. I came back to the dining room (I guess too quickly) and totally freaked him out. He actually did a started jump. So, I'm happy to report that his reflexes are working!

This past Monday a bunch of us new mommies met at Becky's house (see photo). Morgan was the only boy with 4 beautiful girl babies. We joked that Morgan could have a different girlfriend each day of the week! Tomorrow we are going the park with the mommies group from church.

I think that I'm the crazy lady on my block that walks her kids and dogs. Bali, my pomeranian, is only about 3 pounds and not really a walker. So, I put her in the basket of the stroller, strap Madie, my Bichon, to the side of the stroller... and off we go! I of course am always on the cell phone and my dogs bark at everyone that passes me. So, I'm the nut on the cell phone screaming at my dogs to shut up.

Dan is really enjoying his new job. He was torn and sad to leave Sewell but now he gets home before 7pm versus after 8:30 or 9pm. So, Morgan and I are happy to spend more family time with him!

I want to thank all of our friends for your concern and phone calls this past week. We are doing fine. For those of you that I haven't talked to, we were in a car wreck last Sunday evening. Dan and I were heading back from the ranch. We were driving on the highway (speed limit is 70). A man fell asleep at the wheel crossed into oncoming traffic and drove head on at us He drove us off the road, hit us at 70 mph and spun us into a ditch. We are alive and I thank God for that. It really could have turned out very badly. I was in the back seat with Morgan and Dan was driving. I really think that God had His protection over us today. We’re a little sore and beat up, but alive and ok. I think that it is a miracle that we walked away. I just remember seeing him coming straight for us, screaming and throwing myself over the car seat. Dan said that he could see the old man slumped over. We think that the man had his cruise control on because his truck never even slowed down. His truck ended up about 80 yards away from us in a field against a fence. He staggered out of his truck and was all bloody. The air bag saved his life. My Navigator is beat up yet fixable. It's just a car. I'm grateful that I drive a tank. I don't think that I can ever go back to a car. Driving a SUV really protected us.

Dan and I really realized how fragile life is. We love you all!
