Morgan Time

As I sit here watching Morgan play, while Abby and Jason are still snuggled in their beds, I am torn between envy and guilty pleasure. Envy because I am so tired—I feel even more tired than usual from my short-lived single motherhood experience. The guilty pleasure is that I get to have time with just Morgan and see how much he has grown. He woke up today after sleeping a whole 10 hours, which he has done once or twice before, but woke up chatting. He has not chatted before when waking up he is usually screaming and crying. I desperately wanted him to fall back to sleep so that I too could grab another hour or two, but I saw just how happy he was to be awake. I put him in the exersaucer and he is SO alert! He is flipping the pages of the little book and spinning himself around while jabbering away. It’s time where his big sister is not trying to detract attention onto herself and he gets to shine all on his own.

But you can tell that he adores his big sis. Yesterday proved it to me the way nothing else could while at Grandma and Grandpops house. Morgan and Abby had a “Jump-A-Thon”. Abby pulled out the jumping Tigger and Morgan (sitting in his jumper), who had been watching her intently, started to bounce when he saw his big sis jumping. This tickled Abby to know end. She started exclaiming “JUMP MORGAN JUMP!” and “JUMPIN YAY MORGAN YAY!” like the big little dictator she is sis she is when he would stop she would demand that he do it again. It was such a fun sight to behold alas I didn’t have my camera at the time or I would have added the video footage.

It was the first moment that I saw where he was reacting (mimicking) someone’s actions. Abby thought it was because he was doing what she told him to do.

Well now it is time to soak up baby and me time while it lasts.
