Messy Eating

Who ever knew eating could be so much fun?!? Well as you can tell

from the pics, we made our first attempt at giving Morgan her first "solid" food; Peaches mixed w/ rice cereal... Yummmmmm! Needless to say, she loved it and I think got more on her face then in her mouth.

A word to the wise, be prepared to spoon the food fast, especially when you have an impatient hungry one in front of you. Otherwise, they start licking anything they can get off their fingers. I mean it's not like we don't ever feed her.. you'd think it was her last meal.

I know, I know.. a wild hair day to add to the fun. Everyone has one good side that the hairs lay down and the other... does its own thing!

More fun to come... can't wait till the green stuff! (veggies)

Randall's "Tri"

Randall did it! As you can tell from the pics, he participated and competed in his first triatholon ever! We are so proud of him! The events consisted of a 300 meter swim, a 12 mile bike ride, and then a 3 mile run. It was a long morning as we started at 5:00 AM, but was worth every minute of it!

Next, we're hoping to participate in a diatholon where Randall and I will be a co-ed team and I will run 2 miles, then Randall will bike 19.5 miles and then I will finish up with 2 more miles. This event is scheduled in late September. More pics to come!

And to top it all off, Randall won 2nd place in his division! Yeah!

Randall's biggest fans!

New Discoveries

As promised, an update on more visitors... My family (Liz) made the 11 hr drive from TX in 13 1/2 hrs.. (not a recorded record or anything), but they were here and gave lots of love to their only grandbaby. I'm not sure if Randall and I even held Morgan very much this weekend. Oh well, we see her everyday. As you can tell from the pics, Morgan is all smiles and in position to crawl soon. Although, she is very interested in standing (w/help of course). And her new discovery this weekend.. my sister, Meghan's dog, Avery... needless to say, I'm not sure who was the more playful one..

Well, the newest thing coming up in our family is Randall's first triatholon (next Saturday, August 18th). We will keep you updated!

Where has the summer gone?

Wow! A whole month has gone by and we are just now updating you faithful viewers... needless to say, life has been busy! Where has the summer gone? Well as you can see in the pics, Morgan is ever growing and ever changing DAILY! She is nearly 5 mos old and is rolling from her back to her stomach and from her stomach to her back. We can't hardly keep our eyes off her because she is constantly on the go. So much fun though! She discovered her hands about 6 weeks ago and has now moved on to her feet! There's something about colored socks that she loves to pull off her feet and then put in her mouth. However, the white socks must not be that great because she keeps them on. In addition, we have also had visitors.. Randall's parents were here 2 weeks ago and can't get enough of their grandbaby. My parents will be here next week. Funny thing because when it was just Randall and I, we didn't get nearly this many visits from our family within one summer.. Funny how the one and ONLY grand child changes things. Anyways, I think Randall is working on posting Morgan's first video, but technology can be your best friend and worst enemy all in one. So, keep checking as we plan to have her video up soon (hopefully)!
