Morgan & Erin Dahl

Cox Farms Fall Festivals

Morgan got not one, but two Fall trips to Cox Farms this year.

She went in early October for a friend’s birthday party, and again in late October with her school.

It’s interesting, it being one of the first things she’s now done three times, each a year apart, how different each of the three trips was. (Fall 08 visit, Fall 09 visit)

Sense of humor?

We’ve had to go to the doctor a lot in the last few days, and yesterday when riding in the car to the doctor (yet again) we heard Morgan talking to herself repetitively in the backseat. We finally figured out she was trying to tell knock knock jokes (both sides).

It was quite a revelation, in that we had no idea she knew what a joke was, let alone a knock knock joke. Here’s a little video.

Morgan’s loving the pool

She asked to go under water today. We explained (a lot) how she’d have to hold her breath. She tried, but the timing wasn’t always perfect.

After seeing older kids do it a couple weeks ago, she’s also loving jumping into the pool. At the beginning she didn’t really understand how to jump, but she’s getting better. The videos with me (Jim) are from over two weeks ago, while the video with Molly is from today. She actually even did quite a bit better at jumping than is apparent in the Molly video.

Dancing to the radio

Morgan figured out how to turn the radio on and off.

Belated Memorial Day pool video

Some video of Morgan playing in the water slides at our Ocean City hotel from Memorial Day…

Much better reaction than last year.

Playing in fountain

Morgan was delighted by this fountain at National Harbor (and the crowd was delighted by her). This carried on, exactly like this, for at least 10-15 minutes.

Happy Easter

Morgan loves her first Easter card…

Phone skills

Thumbing through photos was cute. Figuring out how to unlock it was frightening…

Parakeet

We’re already getting Morgan ready for the “Under the Big Top” tour (Labor Day Weekend Show #3 for her)…

Morgan loves to sing along with music these days. She’s especially good at it when at least 25% of the words are “no”.
