Month 15 in Review

This month Morgan started actually following directions. It is really neat to see the wheels turning as she is trying to understand what you are saying. For example if you tell her, "Put the food in the bowl Morgan'" she will pick up the pieces of food and put them in the bowl. And if you ask her, "Morgan, where are your shoes?" She will look around the room, find them, and bring them over to you to put them on.

She also started recognizing body parts. And will point them out on herself, Daddy or Mommy. Mouth, nose, ears and belly button are a few of her favorites. The teachers at school and the Dr. got a kick out of the last one. At her check-up this month, the doctor was asking about milestones and evidence of hearing/listening. Daddy said, "Morgan, where's your belly button?" And she lifted her shirt and pointed.

Morgan is also really interested in the natural order of things. For example, she knows that before we leave the house we grab her jacket. Of course in typical Toddler fashion she thinks whenever she wants to go outside all she has to do is grab her coat; needless to say that has lead to a few disagreements. And on a few hot days we had a little bit of a struggle trading out the jacket for a hat, but hopefully she'll get used to it soon. Also, she loves throwing her clothes in the hamper when we change into her PJs.

We figured with all the miles Morgan has been putting on her pink sneakers is was time to go shoe shopping for Morgan's first pair of real walking shoes. We went to the Clarks store in KofP and found an adorable pair of brown/pink spring Mary Janes. The sales associate doubted if her mobile capabilities were really ready for the walkers but as soon as we put them on she was gone; running out the store. She loved them! It was too cute. And from then on she has been inseparable from these shoes. Sorry pink sneakers; we'll be sure to add you to the memory box.
