Firsts…

Well, it seems an update is a little overdue. There really hasn’t been anything out of the ordinary to pass along. Obviously, we’ve come along way from our NICU days.

Morgan continues to do really well developmentally. She appears to be right on track for her adjusted age of about 7 months. However, she is taking her time transitioning to solid foods though,which is to be expected due to her time on the ventilator. She has had some occupational therapy to help with this and will continue to get their assistance. Still, she has made a lot of progress over the last few weeks and it seems it is just a matter of time.

Not surprisingly, recent weeks seem to be a series of firsts for both Morgan and us as a family.

First picture in the Bluebonnets

First Easter

First solid food (not what you would call enthusiastic)

First Mother’s Day (good gift = a nap)

First time in the pool

First tooth (or at least the drool caused by it)

First drive (just making sure you're paying attention)

First Father’s Day (as well our first attempt to use a bow to hide the fact that she’s wearing boy clothes.)

First trip to the beach (she was not a fan at first, although she did try to eat the sand, so like I said we’re making progress.)

And today she got closer to another big first -- crawling. She is starting to “scoot”. This is gonna be trouble.

Also we meant to do this sooner, but we want to give a special thanks to everyone who participated with and/or donated to our March of Dimes of team. Can’t wait until next year.
