Miss Morgan got a special gift from the Easter Bunny...THREE NEW TEETH!!! She now has three on the bottom and two on top...and is darn adorable.
She said her first real word "cat" which also happened to be Jack's first word too...I have a video and will share it as soon as I get it online.
Morgan also stood for several seconds all on her own! Once she realized what she was doing she dropped to her tush and laughed...I can't believe how much she's growing and changing! She's eating stage 3 foods and diced table food. She loves green beans of all things (I have photo evidence for when she's older, like Jack, and refuses to touch anything green...lol)
Jack is really growing up too. He had his 5 year well child visit this morning and is a whopping 38 lbs and a long 42.5 inches! He's 40% for weight and 50% for height!!!!!! Can you believe it???? He's ON THE CHART and not just by the skin of his teeth anymore!!!
Jack's language is really taking off. He's using so many new words and combining 2 and 3 together regularly. We started outpatient speech therapy at our local hospital and I am excited about our sessions! We go every Friday -- and Morgan gets to visit with Grandma seeing as she lives just steps away from GSH. Jack has always had a problem with ending his words...for example Bah for Ball, Geh for Get, etc. Well he's trying soooooo hard and has started really thinking about what he is saying and the result is some awesome crystal clear words!! I am in awe of my man every single day.
Now that it's warmer outside we've been taking his walker out and about on daily errands. This morning he fell into the mud, face first...but only asked for help, and went right back to walking. I'll tell you, if I fell like that I would ball my eyes out!! He's my strong, brave, AMAZING kiddo!
I just wanted to give a quick update -- the bus will be here any minute!! Happy spring everyone!!!!
I was just thinking about Morgan and that she is going to be one soon... Scarlet now has 8 teeth, the 4 newest were also a gift from the Easter bunny! :) Morgan is adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt does my heart good to hear about Jack and his strong desire to learn and grow. What a sweet boy!
Way to go Jack! You are a brave boy. Keep up the wonderful attitude. (I love your name by the way!)

Charlie is almost ten months old and he still has no teeth! I really don't like giving him crackers or anything because I don't know what he would chew them with! I think it's so cool that jack is doing great with his words. Sometimes I wonder if all this therapy works and then I see that it does--I just need a little patience.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to believe the little princess is going to be one already! I still remember the day she was born. She was so tiny and delicate and beautiful. Now, she's a big girl, alot tougher and even more beautiful than ever. Just wait for her 1st birthday party. It will be a blast!!!! By the way, love the ponytail!!

Those two are just so adorable! That is so cute that 'cat' is both of their first word!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they both are growing in leaps and bounds! Teeth and standing for Morgan, how TALL Jack is and saying so many new words... awesome. :)
