Happy First Year "Home Day" part 2

It's one year ago today, Miss Morgan, that you came home from NICU to live with our family.  You were the final puzzle piece that was missing.  Although we only lived as a family of four for under 24 hours, we were pining to have you home and were so worried that it would be days before we'd get you here.

But, in true Morgan fashion, you pulled out all the stops in those 24 hours: passed your car seat test, had all bottle feeds, temp. and everything else normal.  So by the next afternoon you were on your way home.  You haven't slowed down since.

You were SO tiny.  It took about 7 receiving blankets to prop you in the car seat.  We had to promise not to take you anywhere for awhile until you got bigger.  But for as tiny as you were, you were mighty!

Now you're so independent.  You MUST do everything your brother is doing, you're trying desperately to walk and don't give up for a second, you want to put your own coat on, feed yourself and keep busy.  You're very easy to have around because you just go from one determined project to another.

And, to boot, you're a sweetheart.  You love to laugh and you love to take care of your babies.

We love you Morgan and are the most Blessed parents to have a house full of amazing kids!
The ride home


Brother realizes what he's up against for the first time!
