Well, by now she's about 4 and a half months, but the 4 month mark came amidst the fifth birthday extravaganza :o)
Morgan is wonderful. She's 14 lbs and 24 inches (75th percentile for both). She's growing beautifully, and meeting all of her important milestones. I had sworn we wouldn't start solid food until she was six months, but I was wrong. For a few weeks, Morgan wasn't lasting very long in between bottles, but her stomach capacity is only about 5-6oz of formula. So we thought we'd try oatmeal for a little more substance, but I wasn't sure how she would do with that. From the very first bite, Morgan was bringing the food to the back of her mouth and swallowing, as if she'd been eating for years.
So, we're on to solid foods now :o) So far, she's had oatmeal, squash, and green beans - now, I can't stand pictures of kids with food on their faces so I'm just going to post this one because it's cute that Hunter is feeding her, he was so excited :o)

Cousins from Seattle sent Morgan this adorable raspberry hat awhile back. The other day, I thought Morgan's noggin might be ready for it:

Another fun thing that has been happening is the interaction and bonding going on between Hunter and Morgan. She loves to sit in her jumperoo and watch Hunter run back and forth. Hunter is so sweet and thoughtful towards her, it's really wonderful to see :o)

Love this picture. Morgan is resting on my mom's shoulder - love the expression on her face!
