Morgan is Two
















Morgan turned 2 this last weekend and after much thought we decided that we'd take the technical leap and start a blog to be able to share more pictures, video clips and stories.






Here's our first information - Morgan went in for her 2 year appointment this morning and we found out that she is normal! The work we put in over the last 2 years has paid off. Most doctors say that preemies will catch up to their same age peers by the time they are 2. Morgan has done that and gone beyond. She is still a skinny-minny weighing in at only 22 lbs in the 0-5th percentile! Her height is 33 3/4" (25-50%). Dr. Card is not worried about her weight since there is family history on both sides of being skinny through the toddler years. She does get to stay on whole milk to keep her calories up. Her language and cognitive development on the other hand is off the chart the other way. When asked to identify what I was pointing to on the eval sheet (a pictue of a bird) she did not say bird, but said, "it flies" and signed 'flying in the sky'. I gave her extra points for communicating in 2 languages!

  2. Yay, Morgan! Wow, what a cutie! I love that first photo of her. For the casual bystander, this might sound weird, but I can't get over *all* the hair and that she has a hair *style*! ;) Happy 2nd birthday, Morgan, Mommy, & Daddy! xo
