You've Come A Long Way Baby!!!

I am forever talking about what great progress Morgan has made in the last 3 months. One of the areas that she has really improved in is bath time. My faithful blog readers will remember that when I got Morgan she was beyond petrified of baths. The first night she screamed bloody murder just standing in it and I never got her to sit down. It took about a week before I finally ever so slowy reached the goal of getting her to sit down. So, she sat down....then it took another week or so before she would sit her legs down in it. Then she started playing and eventually gave me a real surprise when she began dumping water over her head and laughing. Wow!!! Well tonight she told me that she wanted to lay down. I told her to go ahead thinking that she meant on her belly and put her face in the water. Oh no, not this girl.....she has amazed me again!!! This is what she did.....

and of course I didn't freak her out when I screamed "Don't move! Mommy has to go get the camera!" Oops....a bit of a Bethie moment. Just in case you couldn't tell where the water comes too I decided to add this next picture too. I couldn't resist taking these because the ones who were here for that very first bath would never believe that this is where she is now!

It is totally all the way up the side of her face! Just her cute little face is sticking out of the water. I am so proud of her. I can remember loving the water and taking swimming lessons when I was 5ish and the only thing that I could not stand for the longest time was floating on my back, because I couldn't stand the water over my ears and only my face sticking out of the water. What a BIG girl!!!! Here is a pick of Morgan post bath and ready for bedtime. Ahhh, how cute!!!!

She is so cute and she gets so proud of herself when she can tell that I am excited at something that she can do. Oh, and 2 nights ago she surprised me by counting all the way to 17 by herself! Ahhh, such pride you have when your little ones start learning things by leaps & bounds. Morgan, you've come a long way baby!!!!
