Morgan Lily Grace Lehmann Eleven Months Old

Somehow another month has slipped by!  Morgan has had some really big developments this month; probably the biggest being that she took her first steps!

**UPDATE**

Morgan just got back from a weigh-in and she is now at 21 lb’s and 7 oz and is 29.25″ long (!)

She is now wearing her 12-18 month clothes – yikes!

Here are a few pictures:

A few Firsts:

★ Walking

★ Eating seafood (loved it!)

★ Lemon

★ Play date (Brielle and Rebecca)

Here are a few pictures:

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!

Check out the pictures here.

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)

Matthew managed to take a couple of weeks off for Christmas so we all had some great family time.

It’s hard to believe that 7 months have gone by.  Morgan is now 17 1/2 Lbs, and still 27″ long.

A few Firsts:

★ Christmas

★ Time getting on her hands and knees

★ Time sitting all on her own

★ Picture with Santa

★ Time eating turkey

★ Time brushing her non-existent teeth

★ Trip to the swimming pool

★ Time watching Christmas Story with Daddy (likely to be many more of this one)

★ Time babbling non-stop

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:

★ Eating Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, and Beans

★ Piece of Puffed Wheat

★ 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.

We’ve been having trouble with Morgan not wanting to sleep for long stretches so last night we decided to try her on solid food for the first time!!

As you will be able to see it went pretty well.  She was very interested in getting the spoon into her mouth, but whether she actually got any food past her mouth is another matter.

We also gave Morgan her last bath in the little baby bathtub so there are some pictures of just how big she is in there now too.

Right now we have Matthew’s cousin, Lisa, from Germany staying with us.  We wanted to show her a little bit more excitement than can be found here in Sechelt so we headed in to Vancouver.

While the girls shopped the parents and the babies wandered the various stores letting the babies get to know each other.

After a lot of catching up we headed to the Sky Train station so we could meet Brandi.

It was great seeing Jon again and awesome to meet Brandi and Isobel.  We’ll have to make sure we don’t go as long without seeing each other again!

The only down part of the day was the ferry ride home.  The ferry was almost an hour late and we had a very upset little girl.  She was so cranky that Matthew spent the whole ferry ride pacing on the car deck with her to try and soothe her.

The videos of Morgan in her Jolly Jumper are very amusing.

Hope you all enjoy!

Here we are again and Morgan is another month older.  She is generally a very happy little girl.

We thought we were doing better with her sleeping, but lately she’s been up far too often during the night.  I guess we will get there eventually.

This little, or not so little (Morgan is now 14 1/2 lbs and 25″ long), girl wants so badly to be able to do more.  She is constantly trying to sit up, but not quite there yet.  She’s growing up so fast!

First’s:

★ Time rolling over

★ Visit from Lisa from Germany

★ Time watching sign language

★ Visit from Marc and Hamid

★ Time falling asleep in the Jolly Jumper

★ Sitting up in her stroller (she was propped up but it still counts)

★ Gardening with Mom and Dad

★ Scary movie (also the last one for a long time)

Here are a few new pictures

We are now starting to get settled into some sort of routine with work and baby.  Morgan is starting to sleep longer, we are getting a good 5 hours at a stretch at night.

Morgan is loving Tummy Time and is getting very close to rolling over for the first time.  With the way she’s moving when she’s on the floor we’re pretty sure that crawling won’t be too far behind!

I’m sure that we will be kept on our toes a lot in the next month.

Morgan had a very busy month.  She had all sorts of parties to go to with all sorts of new people to meet.

Everyone has been very excited to see Morgan in all her glory.

This little baby isn’t so little anymore.  At 11 lbs Morgan has now more than doubled her birth weight.

Today we had a lovely visit from Gerhilde and Dieter Stulken.  We had planned a visit back in June, but Morgan made her apperance earlier than anticipated.

We had a tea, cookies, cuddling, and a house tour.

The Stulkens gave Morgan a beautiful original painting of orchids by Gerhilde.  It is sure to be a prized possesion of Morgan’s for years to come.
