Hi everyone!
It's me, Morgan!
Today is my 8 month birthday!
Have you guys heard about this hurricane business? I have been really concerned, because how will people read my blog if the power is out?
Isn't my outfit pretty?
Oh, right, er, how will people read my blog?
Mom said the most important thing right now is that everyone stays SAFE! And she said she's pretty sure the very first thing everyone will be thinking about when the power comes back on is my blog.
WHEW! Okay!
So, about my month. Well, we had family dinner, which you might remember because that's when I asked Aunt Susan to be my God Mom. But, I also had a chance to hang out with Mom Mom, Pop, my cousins, and my Aunts and Uncles!
She totally gets me!
Pop and I played "SO BIG" together - he's so funny!
My cousin Owen makes the funniest faces - he always makes me laugh!
And my cousin Thomas really makes sure I'm taken care of. I love when he gives me kisses!
Then, another night, Aunt Jen and my cousins Sean and Ian came to babysit me while my parents went out for the night. We had so much fun.
Aunt Jen let me try and feed myself!
I did pretty well, although I'm not a huge fan of peas, so I played with them a lot. Obviously, I was pretty dirty after that, so we had bath time. And Aunt Jen let me sit in the BIG tub! It was so much fun and much easier to play that way. So, that's how I roll now.
I visited Aunt Rosemarie again. I really enjoy going there. She really speaks my language!
I went back to CHOP for a quick check up with the GI doc. Good news - I'm all clear! Mom says I'm doing great. I only really spit up now when dad flips me around after eating :)
I weighed in at 17 pounds, 14 ounces and was 27.25 inches long. Mom thinks I'm at least 18.5 pounds by now. I do love to eat!
Check out my John Deere! It looks just like my Dad's!
After I got back from my sleepover, I went to Ladies Who Lunch with Mom and Aunt Katie. I really do enjoy our girl time together.
We went to New Jersey to go pumpkin picking with my friend Corinne and her parents Randi and Bobby.

I got two little pumpkins for myself, which I've done a pretty great job of decorating!
Mom got me special paints that were okay to eat (in case Samson or I wanted to take a taste).
Samson wasn't really interested, so it was up to me to make some magic happen!
Mom helped me hold up the pumpkins, in order to create my masterpieces!
I called Dad over, so I could show him how everything works with the paints.
Then he got this BRILLIANT idea: let's get tattoos! I went first.
I thought it was going to be his turn next, but Dad has another great idea (sarcasm)....
My good Lord!
Luckily, it all washed off in the BIG tub!
This month is also my first Halloween! I got to go to my first Keswick Village Trick-or-Treating night down in Glenside, where my Mom grew up. Aunt Jen, Owen, and Ian came. So did Aunt Susan, Uncle Tom, and Thomas!
I told my Mom she should take advantage of my red hair and try to think outside the box for my costume. We talked about it and finally decided that I would make an excellent Molly Ringwald! We have the same awesome hair, fair skin, full lips - let's face it, I'm a dead ringer! Mom gave me some options, but I decided the prom scene in Pretty in Pink was the way to go.
We started by going to pick out fabric together. Then, we worked on putting the pieces together.
We wanted to be as authentic as possible, but I just couldn't go bare shouldered like Ms. Ringwald did in the movie. So, we added a onesie to keep me nice and toasty!
I think we did pretty well!
The original:
Me!
I wish there had been a contest for me to win.
That wig was ITCHY though, so I was happy to go al naturale for the rest of the evening.
Hey, have you met my friend Blake yet? He lives down the street! It's so nice to have a friend so close by. My Mom and Dad really enjoy hanging out and watching Shark Tank with Blake's parents Becca and Jami.
Shark Tank is on at 8pm, which is pretty much my bed time, so I just go ahead and make myself comfortable on their floor or couch.
I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere. I mean, a girl has to have her beauty rest.
Besides all of that, I've just been laying low, playing with my Dad
and hanging out with my Mom,
and being a fashionista!
Oh, and Mom taught be how to fold Dad's undershirts. She said it's only fair that we suffer as a family.
So, as usual, it was a pretty busy month! I bet this month won't be any less crazy, since it's starting off with Hurricane Sandy! Me, Mom, Dad and Samson are just sitting tight, waiting for the storm to pass. We're saying lots of prayers for everyone's safety over the next few days.
Stay safe out there!
XOXO,
