Through His Eyes For the First Time

Everyone says that one of the most amazing thing about having children is the ability to see things through their eyes. Almost every experience is a new one. I saw that in Morgan's eyes this afternoon as we were playing in the front yard. There were a bunch of crows crackling at each other. I told Morgan to look at the birds. He was totally fascinated. I saw in his eyes what everyone had told me before I had him. EVERYTHING is new for him. Even the birds that we are so used to hearing every spring. He sat totally still for a short while. Then, he started yelling and pointing at the birds. Of course we had to run after them. They flew off and he laughed his head off. I love watching Morgan see everything for the first time.



He grabbed a leaf when I wasn't looking and tried to eat it. Yesterday I looked all over for my grocery list. I looked at Morgan just in time to see him puke part of it up. You would think that my little paper/leaf eater isn't a picky eater... wrong! Here's the look of protest he gave me at lunch today when I tried to feed him anything healthy. All he wants are Cheerios. I forced a container of green beans and half a serving of carrots down him before a full on protest began. I'm sure they taste much better than leaves and paper!

This is his "new" vintage high chair. I still need to attach the straps (on order). I just love Craigslist! He already has a fabulous Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair. But, it doesn't come with the tray. I'd like for him to learn on a tray before banging up our dining room table. Right now he still won't eat too many foods with chunks in them. He only has 4 teeth. He pretty much just likes to throw everything on the floor to the dogs. They of course love it. The dogs come running every time we even get near that high chair.

Dallas Blooms! At the Dallas Arboretum

Melissa, Kimmie, Christi, my mom and I took the kiddos to Dallas Blooms! at the Dallas Arboretum this afternoon. It was Tiny Tot Tuesday. They had a petting zoo, a train, face painting and crafts. Our kiddos are still a little too young for some of the activities. But, they had a great time anyway.

Morgan loved watching Chase splash. Here's a great video.

Here is Kimmie's little boy Chase. He is such a doll and getting so independent. This shot shows his independence. He does NOT like getting back into the stroller. He wants to walk everywhere!

GG took Morgan in to the fountain. He just got a little wet.
Morgan did not like sitting in the flowers. He must have allergies like mom and dad. But, I actually like the crying photos. I think that they are hilarious!

He's clapping... "go Dallas Stars!" He's actually wearing his Michigan t-shirt from Grandma Marie.
Melissa & Gerry's little boy Benjamin came with us also. He is wearing his cutie pie little Easter outfit. Melissa was able to get some great Easter photos. They did have an Easter Bunny on site. But, they wanted $15 for one picture.
GG took Morgan into the petting zoo. He was a little freaked out at first. But, he eventually warmed up to the sheep.

He drank out of a cup for the first time. He didn't spill ONE drop. We think that is because the drink was basically all sugar.
Here's a better shot for your viewing pleasure!
This photo of Wyatt cracks me up! I just love his little shadow. Christi let him run into the fountain. Then he started crying. Maybe next year Wyatt.
This is video of Morgan's first time on a lawn touching grass. he doesn't know what to think. Excuse our laughing in the background. This is safe grass. The grass in our backyard is filled with doggie land mines.

Playdate with AJ

A few weeks ago Morgan and I met up with Amy, Kevin and baby AJ. Amy, Kevin and I were the best of friends when I lived in Denver. Kevin and Amy ended up moving to LA and within the past year mvoed back to Dallas. AJ & Morgan are only 3 months apart!

AJ showed up his really cool touchdown! trick. They basically live right on White Rock Lake. The driveway deadends on one side to the biking and running path! It is such a cool location. We took the boys to the park.

This is Morgan's first (well, seconds later second... I couldn't get the camera turned on in time) time to go up stairs. AJ was showing the little man how it's done.



Now isn't this the cutest video you've EVER EVER EVER seen. AJ is giving Morgan hugs and kisses. I just melt when I watch it. If you had know Amy and I back in the day... you would have never seen this coming!

GG's Easter Egg Hunt

GG told the Easter Bunny that we were having lunch at our house on Easter Day. We went to church that morning. Morgan had a great time as always. He is such a good baby. I could hear all the other babies screaming. But, he was so happy to go and play. Alice, Chris, Hillary, John and mom came over for a nice lunch. I kind of botched the crab cakes. Oh well.

They were sooooo difficult to find!



Oh... and they are filled with... Cheerios! Could a baby's life get any better!?!?!

Flower Mound Easter Egg Hunt

Mary, Ben, Christi, Julie, Matt, Dan and myself took the babies to the Flower Mound Easter egg hunt on Saturday before Easter. They just pretty much throw the eggs on the ground. It's not much of a hunt. And, that's how I remember it when I was a kid. We took Morgan in his new car and he got a balloon. He LOVES balloons. They always have them on the aisles at the grocery store and he totally freaks out. I actually bought one for him this morning. But, it popped when it hit the ceiling at home. He can play with a balloon for a really long time. I should actually buy them more often because it gives me some free time too!
