Morgan's 2!!

Well...I thought the terrible twos would skip Morgan...but she sure has developed an attitude :)
We did have a fun birthday party for her featuring Elmo of course. I think the best part of the party was watching her open her tickle-me Elmo. She is so concerned for others that she even felt bad when Elmo fell down laughing! Picking him up and giving him hugs saying sorry to him. It definitely was cute! We were also surprised that she let us blindfold her to play "pin the nose on Elmo" which she did really well and got the closest her 2nd time around. We even had Elmo and Big Bird on her cake which she loves to play with as well.
We also changed her crib to a big girl bed now (with a railing) she was all about that and kept getting Nate and I to come with her so she could show us her "new" bed. However, she didn't want to go to sleep the first night. So instead of just hearing her cry a little when we put her to bed...we get banging on the door now too since she can get out of her bed. But in the morning it was back to being excited about the bed again.
It's amazing how fast she is growing up! She still loves to dance and will now sing along to certain songs...she still loves the wheels on the bus and will be the only kid in nursery singing along to the song with the leaders. Thanks to Grandma Layton I think it will always be one of her favorites. We've decided to have her be a monkey this year for Halloween which really suits her well...she is grabbing on to counters and chairs and swinging from them. Scares me especially when she decides to do it from the stage at the church! She's going to let go and fall! She hates to shop but loves to hold clothes up to her and go look in the mirror...so as long as every once in a while I give her something to "wear" she'll shop with us. She is getting quite the vocabulary and the way she says somethings are hilarious.
She has learned when we say amen but must feel like she has to say it the loudest and this recent fast Sunday happened to amen after someones testimony pretty loud that everyone turned around to look even the Bishop came up to us afterwards and said "so this is our little amener!" She loves to take the sacrament and when the bread and water are to be put away makes it her business to make sure she says goodbye to them. So as everyone is reverently taking the sacrament we hear "bye bye Bread!" and then again later "bye bye water" Like I've said before just really polite and wants to make sure who she is talking to will hear her.
Morgan's newest thing lately is that of course when she is in trouble she'll then cry out for the other parent...so most of the time she is crying out for daddy when I put her in time out. When I tell her that daddy is at work she immediately asks for "Steve" and then for "Megan". Who would have thought that she'd call for her uncle Steve?!!! She seems to tie him into every one that we know...when we tell her we are going to go see her cousins Gavin and baby Tanner and I ask who else thinking she'll say Marty and Megan she says Steve.
Morgan also seems to be getting a really good memory...when we pray we usually mention my parents on their mission in Mongolia. I was in a hurry one day and just left them out of our lunch prayer and Morgan immediately said "Grandma Grandpa". So we had to say another prayer for them. (she did the same thing to Nate as well) she sure loves them and wants to keep them in our prayers.
Well I know that this is a lot but hopefully it should make up for being a slacker and not posting enough (right Dawnelle? I'm trying)
