Superbowl and Valentine's Day

Hello, everyone!

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks!

I had an interview at Stuart!  I spent the morning playing with the 2 year-old classroom while Mommy and Daddy met with the head teacher to talk about the program.  I had an awesome time!  At the end of the morning, I even said to Mommy and Daddy "No Momo go home!"       (((Morgan has since been accepted---was there a doubt?! --- and will be attending in the fall!))) 

Yes, I still love yogurt.  All kinds...

Baby Alie keeps growing...Hard to believe she is almost 10 months old!

Here are my friends at Jenny and Mary's house!

Missing:  Daniel, Aiden (and Mary and Jenny!)
 

 The nice man at the convenience store gave me a lollipop! 

Happy American holiday!  It's the Superbowl!  We got to eat in front of the TV!
Junk food for all!  (Except Alie, who ate whole grain cereal, mashed peas, and fruit).

It's Valentine's Day!  Thanks, Gramma, for the awesome Post-It-Notes!  They were an awesome decoration on the cupboard!  I even added stickers later to make a even better collage.

Alie loves to look out the front door.  Coaley's food and water dishes are her favorite hobby.  We often have to race to pick them up to get them out of her way.  Alie crawls faster than most of us can walk.

Valentine's Day artwork.  We lost track of time and forgot to send Valentines to our friends and family.  Hopefully we'll get this artwork out in the mail soon!

Mommy and Alie are great buddies!  

Lots of love to everyone!
Love, Morgan (and Alie!)

So much snow!

Hello everyone!  We have been hit with several snowstorms in New Jersey this winter! 

My favorite movie is still Cars!  My toys love to line up to watch the movie with me.

 Here I am helping Daddy with the shoveling.  I even have a Cars shovel.  I'm slightly obsessed.

Alie and I are becoming best friends! I gave her the stomach flu and she gave me a nasty cold.

Snowpiles are so much fun!

 More shoveling...

When baking cookies, I always wear my Betsy Ross hat.

The girls found the dress up box!  Even Mommy put on a fancy dress and played with us!

Alie is a happy little girl!  She is able to stand up unsupported now - and we think walking may come on the early side too!  

Thanks for checking in on me!
Love, Morgan

Holiday update #2 (finally!)

Guess what?  I went skating for the first time!  Buppa took us to Clarkson's arena for an afternoon of skating and sledding on the ice!  Daddy found a pair of pink double-runner skates for me online.  I don't usually like to put strange things on my feet (I hate having my feet measured at the shoe store and I absolutely refuse to step on the scale at the doctor's office!), but I put these over my fuzzy pink boots and had a blast with Daddy, Mommy, and Buppa! 

 I loved skating, but it was even more fun getting pulled in the sled by Buppa.  We went really fast.  I learned the new word "Faster, faster!" and now scream it regularly as Mommy and Daddy drive the car.  Yelling is awesome!  Why say all my new words when I can scream them?

Alie and I love watching videos on YouTube.  Our favorites are Hello Kitty and Barbapapa.  I still love watching my favorite movie Cars.  You can see my new McQueen toy in the picture.  It's actually a bottle of bubble bath, but I haven't figured that out yet.

 Is that Santa in his sleigh?  Nope, it's Alie in a laundry basket helping Neany deliver gifts to her friends!  Alie loved being pulled from house to house! 

There wasn't a lot of room in the car, so we had to leave Alie's exersaucer back at home.  She wanted to do some jumping around, so we found this cool contraption for her.  What a hit!  She loved hanging out between the kitchen and the family room and checking out everyone's activities.  This little bouncer kept her very busy!

 Coaley loves dressing up as a reindeer. 

 Buppa gave Alie many counting lessons.  Look at Alie at the edge of her seat with excitement.

 Aunt Lindsay was a constant source of entertainment.  Just as soon as I would quiet down after a busy activity, Aunt Lindsay would come around and make me laugh again.  Aunts are so much more fun than parents!

 Alie looks very serious here, but she had a wonderful time with Aunt Cathy and Bob.  What a beautiful hat!  Thanks, Aunt Cathy, Alie wears it every day!

 Bob and Alie.  Nana would be so happy to see this picture.

This was Christmas dinner.  Thank you to all the Woods for a wonderful trip up North!  Thank you for all my presents and for playing with me!  I can't wait to see you again soon!

Love, Morgan
