Nothing gets past Morgan now that she is 8 months old. One of the teachers at school calls her a Nosey Buisybody (somehow is sounds better coming from an older woman with a British accent)...we prefer to call it Active Curiosity. :) She has to know what is happening everywhere at all times, even at the expense of eating and sleeping.
Social: Starting school, this month has been a huge step for Morgan's social development. She has a couple friends at school (Jack and Maggie) who are all within 2 weeks in age. They smile when they see each other and try their best to play/share toys. It is too cute. Plus Morgan is having a great time interacting with the teachers.
Communication: Babbling has started and we get whole stories and dinnertime conversations sometimes...we just wish we had a translator! Every once in a while we think we catch a MaMaMa or a DaDaDa or an AAAAA (for Alia we think), but it may just be our imagination too.
Games: Morgan loves Peek-a-boo! Sometimes it is the only thing that will get her to stop crying...she just laughs and laughs. Another game we play is "Shake that Thing." If Morgan is holding something that rattles (i.e. the Maracas at school or Elmo at home) and you say "Shake, Shake, Shake," she goes crazy. Her teacher also says that Morgan loves the "Science Center" at school...they sure start them early these days.
Mobility: The alligator or army crawl has been perfected this month; Morgan will get into anything and fast. Some of her favorite trouble-making spots are the stack of magazines in the bathroom, anything crinkly that is headed for trash, and the dishwasher. At the beginning of the month, when you would leave the room she would cry and cry until you came back. She still may cry a little, but now she tries to follow you too...we love it!
