Based on the Olympic sports Morgan has enjoyed watching these past few days I think we can safely assume Michael Phelps will very soon lose his title of most gold medals awarded. Plus, as you can see, Morgan will be participating in much more events than just swimming. I should also add that this only includes the summer games. Let's not forget about those winter sports in a couple of years.
At the moment Morgan is concetrating her training on the rings as she has suddently started grabbing and holding onto objects. We've also been working on her dolphin kick - I'm thinking she'll be specializing in the freestyle swim. Either that or doggy paddle.

3 months old and walking and talking and...
Post #2 - I'm on quite a roll!
This is incredibly hard to believe but Morgan is now 3 months old (or 12 weeks if you count 3 months on August 10). And I don't know what this kid is eating but she is getting heavy! She went in for her 2 month checkup last week and tipped the scales at 11lbs 13 oz. We'll also be on the phone soon with basketball scouts since she has grown 2 inches and is now a neck cringing 2 feet tall. She is doing excellent with lifting her head and sitting up. We've been working on leg exercises... she also helps Mommy with her sit ups and crunches. I don't know if I mentioned this last time but Morgan has discovered her hands and more specifically, her thumb. And when she's not sucking on her thumb she is now grabbing hair so don't say I didn't warn you!
Yes, so she has quite the technique for thumb sucking. As Pat likes to describe it, she has more of a claw thing going on than the traditional thumb sucking pose. I'm sure we have some pictures of it. I know what we do have pictures of though - smile time! Morgan has become quite photogenic and loves showing off her smile which is nice because she has Daddy's dimples and very pinch worthy cheeks.
As we spend most of her days sitting and staring at her we started to notice that Morgan seems to have red eyebrows. And sure enough in several pictures, and in the right light, Morgan has some very definite red hair going on. Of course this just means that as of now she will never be allowed out in the sun ever again as she will burn like crazy just like her Mom and Dad.
In addition to eating, smiling, and thumb sucking, Morgan has been making the rounds about town. Yesterday she enjoyed her first trip to the fair with her aunt, uncle, and cousins. She had a fun Saturday evening family date to the Super Walmart and has been enjoying her daily stroller rides up to the Ritas for some italian ice. And of course she loves reading stories... Gangy's travelogues are great for bedtime reading as they put Morgan right to sleep!
Pat has been settling into his new stay-at-home dad role. He and Morgan are enjoying their daddy-daughter days while I get in some bonding time in the evenings. I'm able to work from home two days a week which is helping Pat find the time to work on house projects (come over and check out our new basement floor!).
If you haven't done so recently check out photos and videos. Morgan is really racking up those views on You Tube!
