After dinner tonight Scott and I were able to wrangle Morgan and have her try on her small lot of summer clothes. With our trip to Florida just three weeks away, I knew a quick inventory was necessary.
Unfortunately I learned that all of my sweet sales from last summer will probably be worn only once on this trip. Even all of our cute hand-me-downs are too small! Sadly, half of her shorts will probably be retired once we get home. She's just too big for 2T's!
It seems overnight Morgan has sprouted into a small giant. She was at the doctor's office in the beginning of January and weighed in at 30 lbs, 3 ounces. I measured her with a yard stick and also against her 3-foot towering cubes this week. She exceeds both.
Thankfully I was smart enough to grab a 3T swimsuit from last season for under $2! It just fits her.
Needless to say, I am looking very much forward to her 2-year appointment to learn all of her latest stats. You will most likely find me with a huge grin on my face when the doctor says, "She's off the charts."

I know, I know. Where are the new posts? It's just that I haven't had anything compelling to say lately (GASP!).
On a typical night, I'm in bed with my brain bursting as Scott is passed out beside me. As I rehash the day's events, ideas usually pop into my head about what to write and how to best convey my message. These days, I just haven't had those moments.
Don't worry, I'm sure in the next couple of weeks the blog will be loaded with goodies. In the meantime? Thanks for hanging in there. I promise it will get better.
her christmas favorites
The chaos of Christmas has come and gone, and we've had an entire week to recuperate at home and get readjusted. Our decorations are down, new clothes have been washed and put away, and the routines are back.
Earlier this week as I unpackaged one of Morgan's newest gifts, I started flipping through the attached brochure and immediately noticed the company's motto: When the toy does less, the child does more. This trademarked slogan stopped me in my tracks.
"Yes!" I exclaimed to Morgan as we sat on the floor of the living room. This is so true!
It's the puzzles that Morgan enjoys most, the letters of her new Magnet School and making her baby doll act out the motions to her favorite songs. It's sitting at her table to color, or standing on her stool in the bathroom to primp. It's when she's inventing, creating and discovering on her own that she's most happy. Best of all? It's those happy times where the learning happens unbeknownst to her and Morgan's truly flourishes.
