The Lehmann Family – Elizabeth, Matthew, and Morgan

Morgan has been up to alot of things since we last posted.

We went out over to her Great-Grandma’s for a nice visit and then out to lunch at Daphne’s.  It was the first time that Morgan sat in a high chair!  It was very exciting for all of us, and Mommy even got a chance to eat her lunch while it was hot!!

Unfortunately we have all been sick here.  We’ve been trying to take it pretty easy but we have managed to go out for a few family walks.  Morgan is generally very serious on our walks, which is the total opposite of how she normally is.

On the 20th we finally got a high chair.  It has been wonderful.  Morgan seems to really like it.  She has really taken to feeding herself.  This morning for breakfast she made the decision that it was to be only finger food.  No more of being fed ceral by Mommy!  She really seems to be getting the hang of it.

Morgan has also been learning how to stand.  Not on her own just yet, but she is constantly trying to get to her feet.  She has even done a little bit of standing holding on to furniture.  It’s all very exciting!

Well here we are and another month has gone by.  Morgan has now been out in the real world as long as I was pregnant!

I can’t believe how the time has flown.  Morgan has been such a joy, especially now that she is laughing up a storm at anything and everything.

We have had a very major triumph this month.  We are all finally sleeping!!! Of course as I say this Morgan has a cold and her sleep has been slightly upset these last few nights, but she really is sleeping.

Matthew and I finally put up her growth chart.  It’s really amazing to see the change in heights over the last 8 months.

Here are a few pictures taken in the last week:

A few Firsts:

★ Sleeping through the night

★ Time eating mashed potatoes

★ Time wearing size 12 month clothes

★ Time eating Indian food (no to Vindaloo, yes to Butter Chicken and Daal)

★ Sitting up from crawling

★ Cold

★ Fight with another baby

★ Crawling

★ Olympic event

★ Prize won (she won a little book and bib at the birthday party for babies born in 2009)

★ Time eating a tomato (she loves them, she sucks out the insides and begs for more)

This morning we took Morgan to the Olympic Torch Relay event in Sechelt.  What an experience!  There was lots to see and lots to hear.  Morgan received her very first Canada Flag which she loved chewing on the whole time.  She also got a great RBC tambourine that now seems to be her favorite toy.

It was a great little bit of family time to start off the day on Matthew’s 33rd birthday.  With all of that excitement Morgan was pretty wiped at the end.

We finished off the evening with homemade onion rings and beef ribs (don’t forget the all important chocolate cake!).

We had a great day all around!

On Tuesday we took Morgan to her second SPARK class.
This is a fun and informative BC Literacy campaign to help raise awareness of the role reading plays in a childs’ development.

Morgan was a bit wee last time so didn’t get much floor time.  This time she got down and played with other kids.  She had a blast, except there was one girl who made her cry =(  (in her defense, the girl DID have an annoying voice).

She was so tuckered from all the excitement that she fell asleep in her swing.

In the last pictures here, you see her putting into practice her new-found Pythagorean skills by demonstrating how to correctly solve for c, the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

We also have been heavily using her day crib that Morgan’s Great Aunts Donna and Lois gave her.  It’s tough to get a good picture through the electrified mesh, but she’s happy in there!
