First order of business for this blog entry, meet Morgan.........Daddy's Laker Princess! She is 7 weeks old, never too early to be a Laker Girl.
Morgan loves being a cuddle-bug
All ready for nursery......wait thats a few more years. Just me and her in the mother's lounge for now and we are enjoying every moment of it:)
Josie likes to play dress up and pretend she's a fashion model....her and Morgan will get along just fine I'm sure.
Now without further adue......Family and Friends!
Eldest brother Ryan and little but big David meet Morgan for the first time (3 days)
Bean didn't realize how Christlike she was being as she enjoyed holding Morgan....you can't see it but there is a very jealous 1 year old Annalise crying and pulling at her leg, not the baby anymore at the Abel gatherings....probably will take some getting used to.
Grandma greets Morgan at the hospital (1 hour old)....I think she snuck in some candy for Morgan to suck on.
Grandpa is the first, besides mommy, to hold Morgan and I think she is in love, I know I can't resist the smell of leather and a charming Collin's smile.
Uncle Johnny came down to see Morgan and showed her around Downtown Disney while he attended his dentist convention. He got to spend the night and hear the sweet sounds of Morgan singing in the night and cuddle with. The kitties who snuck onto his bed to keep him warm (1 week old)
"Uncle Yak", as he is so called by Ella, has a running record of attendance to each birth of his nieces and nephews (except for Ella, in which case he was with Keith and I before we were engaged and got to hear Elder Bednar answer questions that the young single adults and young married couples of Fullerton had to ask him....neat experience as we were all sitting together on the pew and received a picture and text telling us Ella has arrived!
Sweet Auntie Em came to the hospital and couldn't get enough of Morgan's sweetness so came with the family a few days later to get another cuddle in (2 days old)
Great Grandma loves to talk to Morgan and vise versa (2 weeks)
Auntie Nielle came to stay and help mommy get some sleep, Morgan didn't mind one bit and loves the smell of Nielles hair that's always so clean and pretty (4 days old)
Grandma came in her warmest attire for the cold February welcome home evening for Morgan (5 days old)
Have you ever seen a happier Grandpa.....and he even looks awake after a long day in the middle of tax season!
Great Grandma held Morgan as she told of her experience of old fashioned and fairly common c-section that was very hard to recover from....we are truly blessed with the technology and skills our doctors and nurses have today.
Keith and I got to visit Johnny at Downtown Disney.....we really went to deliver Johnny's shirts that he left hanging in the closet but ended up forgetting them because we were so focused on getting all of Morgans potential needs packed and ready for her first venture to Disneyland, besides that the evening was a success (1 week)
Dizzy Ditzy Chilly Silly Lilly Billy, a name we concocted to describe her in high school, came to introduce herself and her endless and perfect curls to Morgan ( 4 weeks)
Ahh, Elizabeth, the graceful ballerina came to meet Morgan, taking time from her super busy and all consuming architecture work and studies...soon to be graduating!!!
Lupe held Morgan as she shafted the early stages and differences between Lilly and Liz.....Lilly was and still is a major sleeper, I think Morgan is following in her path since she takes every opportunity to sleep to the point where she has to be woken up to eat....except for during the night of course!
Debi, our Fullerton Grandma lightened up our hospital room with fresh pink tulips and brought Morgan a couple new outfits, a blanket, and cake for her very first Birthday celebration (1 day)
John and Keith celebrate in their own manly way with chocolate cigars
