{sleeping beauty}

I don't have a ton to report today. Morgan had her 8 week check-up and she's doing great. She's in the 50th percentile for height and weight (22.5 inches and 10 lbs 10 oz.) and in the 75th percentile for head circumference. She also got her immunizations today -- FIVE shots and one oral vaccine. She was NOT a happy camper and she was a little fussier than usual tonight. Nothing a little infant Tylenol can't help, though.

Here are a few pictures of her sleeping on our bed yesterday. It looks like she might be a thumb-sucker eventually...

{take me out to the ballgame}

Ma and Dad came for a quick visit this weekend and we took Gerard and Morgan to their first major league baseball game since the Mets were in Detroit. You never can start too early! Gerard made it clear to everyone that he was NOT a Mets fan -- he is a Yankees fan. He even wore his Yankees hat. I think Daddy has been brain-washing him! It was fun anyway and I think Gerard really had a blast. Sundays at Comerica park are kids days and all kids can run the bases after the game. That was the highlight for Gerard. I think it was the highlight for Grandpa and Daddy, too.

And here's one from today. Morgan was not very happy with me as I was trying to take her picture, but I thought this little pout was cute anyway:

{THOMAS RECALL}

Wow! It's been a week since I've posted! I have some cute pictures to share, but I just haven't had a chance to upload them. I'll do it soon, I promise.

In the meantime, I thought it was important to share some information about a recall of Thomas the Tank Engine wooden trains in case you hadn't heard. These pieces are being recalled because they have lead paint in them:

I'll post more later!

{fun in the sun}

Just a quick post to share some pictures. It's beautiful outside and we had a little picnic and then played in the shade. It got kind of hot out, so Gerard wanted to come in and play on his computer. Morgan is sleeping so I thought I'd take this opportunity to post some pictures from today. Morgan is wearing a cute outfit from Aunt Kim and Uncle Don...

{a good weekend}

In between torrential downpours, we managed to have a really nice weekend. Saturday we went to the Greek Festival downtown and then to the art show that was also downtown. Despite being 90 degrees and humid, we all had a great time. Gerard played games, listened to Greek music, and ate his first gyro. He wasn't a huge fan of the lamb, but the fact that it was wrapped in a big, thick pita helped. The art show was nice, too, but I didn't get anything this year. Oh well.

Today both Gerards went to "the boy store" (aka Home Depot) while Morgan and I stayed home and took pictures. Here are a few of her wrapped in one of the blankets Aunt Debbie made:

{TGIF}

It was another beautiful day here. Morgan is her usual happy self. She's even happier than usual because she now loves her swing! That makes me happier than usual, too, because she'll nap in it so Gerard and I have some time together. Today we even had time to do a little craft and play outside twice!

I tried to put Morgan in the Baby Bjorn while we were outside, but she's not a big fan of that yet. I was hoping she'd like being carried in it since she's going to have to go in it next weekend when we take her to her first baseball game. We'll see how that goes. For now she's happiest in her carseat. In fact, here are some pictures of her sitting on the deck, and some pictures of big brother Gerard:
