The Lehmann Family – Elizabeth, Matthew, and Morgan

Morgan had her 6 month checkup today and the results are:

1. She now weighs 17 lbs (!) (75th percentile)
2. She now measures 27″ in length (75th percentile)
3. Healthy as a [really healthy] horse

She also went to the optometrist for a checkup.  She was an absolute champ in the darkened room and didn’t mind the bright light in her eyes.  The only allowance that Dr. English had to make was to position himself in front of his screen-saver (that baby crack strikes again).  She has perfect, beautiful eyes (but of course, as her father, I already knew that).

Another month down and things are different in so many ways except the one that we really want.  Morgan still isn’t sleeping well, in fact it seems like the older she gets the worse she sleeps.  She seems to be stubborn like Mommy and Daddy so we can’t even let her cry it out.  The several times we tried, she just cries for hours until we finally cave and go to her.  Oh well, what can you do?

She is almost sitting up on  her own now and she’s also starting to stick her bum in the air.  It’s amazing how much she can get around the room even though she’s not crawling yet.  She can push herself around when she’s on her back with her feet, or when she’s on her tummy with her arms.

A few Firsts:

★ Visit to Strong Start

★ Getting her soother into her mouth by herself

★ Bathtime with Daddy

★ Time in snowsuit

★ Wiggling around the room on her own

★ Vomiting session (not as fun at the other firsts)

Here are a few pictures to enjoy.
