morgan

At her 6 month check up she weighed 20 .4 pounds and is 27 inches tall. She is in the 95% for her weight and the 90% for her height. She is starting to try to crawl going backward and loves to say Dada- especially at 6 a.m.

Out of the mouths of Babes...

My husband said to me the other night in front of the kids~" Wow, you look hot!" to which Maddy said no she doesn't daddy, and he said yeah your mom's hot! Maddy said no she isn't -she's not sweaty!

Morgan 6 months

Morgan is already six months old. Time sure has flown. She is a sweet heart, very smiley and laid back. She started saying Dada this week and is rolling around everywhere. She is officially in a big carseat, the infant carrier was starting to buckle under all her weight. She goes Monday to the Dr. so I will post her weight etc, then. I know she tops the charts there. She loves her new high chair, and loves her brother and sisters. I bought her a bumbo chair but she got stuck in it ( she's got some lovely thighs) so to ebay that will go. A great spot to watch Monsters Inc.

Morgan Faith went to the Doctor for her 4 month check-up and is off the charts in her weight. She is 17 1/2 pounds! She is 25 inches long (75%) and her head is 16 (45%). We are going to try some cereal this week and solid foods when she is 6 months. The doctor said she is just a very healthy girl!

Morgan Faith at 17 weeks

Morgan is a very content girl, who so far is quiet, and just watches all the commotion around her. Trying cereal~ she didn't care for it

Homeschooling 101

Many people have asked how school was going for us so I thought I would share what our days consist of. We start school at 9:00~ we are using Abeka DVD's and each of the girls has a desk and DVD player in their rooms. Morgan hangs out in her bouncy seat until we get things going, I pretty much bring her room to room with me ( I don't know what we will do when she gets mobile.) Micah loves Peter pan so he will sit and watch it until Mackenzie is through with school. Mackenzie is usually done in 2 hours so then the two of them go play together, and yes he watches Peter Pan everyday~ he loves it that much! Maddy takes a lot longer to do school, so we usually have lunch at noon and then she gets to play until Micah goes down for his nap at 1:30 and then she finishes school. Nap time is my favorite time of day, because sadly this is when I get my shower. The girls pretty much want me watching there every move so school is my life until the afternoon. I took a few pictures of the kids during a normal school day and you will be able to see why I have to be right there with them, one kid just can't be still. I love Peter Pan!
This is how I found Mackenzie doing school~ she is a clown and can't sit still!
How she is supposed to be sitting
Maddy trying so hard to do well in penmenship, this is the only area she struggles in other than that she gets A's.

Thanks Miss Heather.....

for the real cute hairbows that my mom finally put in my hair! Now I can go to Church looking cute! My first pair of shoes!

Mackenzie

She was supposed to be cleaning her room, when I didn't hear anything for awhile I went to check on her and she was sound asleep. Notice the jammies are on under her dress. She eventually woke up and it took a long time to clean the mess.

FROGS

Micah loves to go outside and catch the frogs that we seem to have in abundance. He had a really big one but it got away before I could get a picture. Where did he go?
There he goes..... needless to say this frog did not survive the many drops and was dead the next morning.

Thumb Sucker

It's been hard to blog lately with homeschooling and just having all the kids underfoot, but I thought I would show how big Morgan has gotten. She has tons of rolls, but she is a cutie~ she is starting to "talk" to us and loves to smile. She also has a new trick ~ Sucking her thumb! She was so tired, but worked very hard to get her thumb.
A little closer.....
Wait I think I've got it......
Yep, I have my thumb and can hold on to my hair too!
