Pumpkin Patch Fun!!

This past Sunday headed to the Pumpkin patch with our friends Jackie and Brian and Jackson's friend Nate.
Our 1st trip with some of our other dear friends was fun but the weather wasn't grand and Jackson had a cold so we decided to head back and we had a great time. Enjoy the pics! Nate and Jackson were so funny! My fav picture is the one of them staring at the tractor as it pulled up behind them. Too cute!!

6 months old already!

Well J has just turned 6 months. Seriously, I know a lot of moms say this, but I just cannot believe how old he is! To think he has a already had his 1/2 birthday is crazy.
So here are some updates on my 6 month old love.

He is currently rolling and flipping all over the place. I left him for 1 minute came back and he was off his play mat and had rolled all the way nearly underneath the couch! Scared me to death. However, I suppose this is the mobility everyone has been talking about.

He has been waking up at 5:30 (which is when he would kick me every morning when I was pregnant) praying this is just a phase!!!!!

Eating lots of fruits and veggies. My doctor gave me the go ahead to introduce meats so I think we are going to be doing that soon.

Kicks his legs like crazy still.

Almost sitting up but tomples over after about 20 seconds. His head is in the 80% percentile.

Smiles and laughs!

Still loves bath time(especially kicking in the bathtub)

Reaches for toys

Wants to chew on everything

Cries when Max (our golden retriever) doesn't pay him attention.

Seems to really love music (Smiles and seems to calm him)

Eddie loves to hold his stuffed soccer ball up so he can kick it and he actually kicks it quite well. Eddie is pretty thrilled!


His 6 month check up went great.

He weighs 16lbs 4 ounces 30% percentile

Height 27 inches 75% percentile

Head 44 1/2cm 80% percentile

So for we are loving are angel and just so thakful he is healthy and happy! Sure seems like he is going to be long and lean!

Thanks for checking in!

Fall Fun!

Fall is probably my favorite time of year. Spring is a close second, but there is something special I have always loved about Fall. There is a crispness in the air and I love seeing pumpkins on porches, watching some football, tailgating, fall candles, wearing leggings, eating chili, and sipping on apple cider! Normally this time of year I would be teaching my kindergarteners about apples and leaves. We would be going on leaf hunts and making applesauce and doing all sorts of fun stuff. I must say I am reminiscent of these times and look forward to doing these things with Jackson. For now, Jackson and I have been having lots of Fall fun! We have been hanging out with friends at the park and Jackson even went swinging. He loved it! Of course, he loves anything that moves or rocks.
We have also had lots of visitors. Gigi and Pop-Pop (my parents) came for a a visit. They can't believe how long Jackson is. He is still not a huge baby, but everyone thinks he is going to be long and lean at this point! They had a great time and were so helpful as always! Our next visitors, were our good friends Paige and Josh. Paige was my college roomate and I love that when we get together it feels like we hang out all the time. We all went to dinner and loved catching up!!
Anyways, it's been mostly fun for the Morgan household. The only downside is Jackson has his first cold and it has now been going on for nearly 10 days. We have had a couple rough nights, but on the whole Jackson acts like he feels fine, just congested, so we are hoping he is on the tail end of it. We are headed to the pedatrician tomorrow so we will see I suppose.
Thanks for checking in! Hope everyone is enjoying the start of Fall!

Lots of Love!
