More Pix of Morgan

More pix of Morgan

Baby and her full head of hair are doing well.

Her cry is sort of a cry/shiver...

Mandy has pretty much recovered from last nights ordeal.

She is no longer hemmorhaging, which is always good, and did not need a blood transfusion. Hopefully, if she is feeling up to it, she will be discharged tomorrow.

She was allowed out of bed today and got to changer her first diaper.

Jaylee was able to relax today and enjoy holding Morgan.

She took pix of her new cousin to school today to show her off.
(I LOVE this picture.)

Jenni took my picture, hence the blurriness.

I haven't gotten a chance to sit and hold her yet, but I will!

(This picture was me taking her from Jaylee and handing off to Jenni)

Jenni's job was to count her fingers and toes.

She exclaimed today (so excited)

"Hey Mandy, she has all of her fingers and toes...

She has 10 toes and 4 fingers! Yeah!"

Morgan Elizabeth

Morgan Elizabeth

Mandy had a VERY scary recovery, but the delivery seemed to go pretty well.

Morgan was born at 12:14 pm.

She is 9 lbs 10 oz and has a full head of hair.

She's very long at 22 1/4 inches.

She's a natural at breast feeding!!

Jenni thinks she's very neat!

and calls her "Morgan Cutie"

Jaylee was very worried about Mandy but relaxed enough to enjoy her new cousin for a minute.

Still in Labor

And...

she's still in labor,

poor thing!!

Jennibelle's Recital

Jennibelle's Dance & Gymnastic Recital

Today was the end of Jenni's "Semester" at The Little Gym.

They put on a show for the parents and then received medals.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well she put everything together.

This is her "Tap" routine

(It's over 1 minute long, sorry!)

Then her "Ballet" routine

This is her favorite because she gets to walk on her toes without anyone scolding her!

Jaylee was home from school b/c of the snow.

She was VERY impressed by her little sis and was her biggest fan!!

Jenni was also so happy when Poppop and Nan showed up!!

Here she is asking to have her picture taken... this is becoming more usual around our house!

Here is her routine on the bars...

she became very nervous and cut the routine short.

Thank goodness no one laughed "at" her!!!!!

Her next routine, on the balance beam, was a different story.

She LOVED it and it showed!!

Here she is receiving her award...

Anyone that really knows Jenni,

knows that she spends 1/2 of her day getting up off of the floor!!

Too bad she and Jenna aren't in the same class,

wouldn't that be fun?!?

Mandy in labor

My Little Sister is finally in Labor...

I'll keep everyone updated!!

Jenni's Gymnastics

Jenni's Gymnastics

Jenni enjoys gymnastics and dance twice a month.

She really enjoys herself!!

Jenni ABSOLUTELY HATES when people laugh at her.

Therefore, I have not let her view this video.

She is so darn cute, trying her hardest at a forward roll.

She just couldn't quite grasp it.

You can tell her frustration b/c she keeps saying "shucks"

and snapping her fingers in between tries.

Watch the whole thing...

she almost gets it right at the end, after observing the other girls roll right past her.

Too bad she lands on her face!!

This is one memory I hope to never forget.

I ADORE this little girl!!

By the way... Mandy is 1 week past her due date and still in good spirits...

Here she is asking her baby why she isn't ready to come out yet.

They will induce her Weds morning, if she doesn't go into labor tomorrow!!

Jay's Highlights

Have you ever heard of a 6 year old getting highlights?!?

Well, Aunt Meg had some dye left over after doing a friend's hair so...

Jay lucked out!!!

Meg straightened her hair for the night too, so she believes that it is LONG now!

Snow

Finally... 'Snow'

If you can find a swing... you can find my girls!!

Jenni 1/09

Going up a snowy slide is tricky...

Especially if you give it your "best" effort...

BUT, I was NOT ready for this,

KINDERGARTENER...

My baby is all grown up and I don't know what to do!!!!

Jaylee's Gymnastic Videos

Jaylee's Gymnastics

Jaylee absolutely LOVES her gymnastics classes that Nan and Poppop purchased for her for Christmas. She's really good too! Here are some videos...

Jaylee has also decided that she wants to be called "Jay" now so I will try to remember that throughout the post. (I'm not so good at it, yet!)
