Dancing with Daddy

Neal and Morgan had their first (of many) daddy/daughter dances. I'm not sure who was having more fun!!!!

Busy Weekend

This past weekend was a VERY busy weekend. Saturday morning we walked in our annual CROP walk for church. This is Neal & I's fourth walk and Morgan's first. I did remember the camera however it had issues this weekend. So I didn't get a picture. A lady from church took one so if I get it soon, I'll post!

Sunday, my cousin joined Ridgepoint Church, so we went there in the morning (8:30 AM that's early!!) Congrats, Lori! After church we had coffee/lunch at Uncle Gene & Aunt Carole's. Neal's cousin was home on leave from Iraq so we had a good-bye party! (Continue to pray for him and all of our service men & women!) After coffee we headed to Van Andel to watch my brother graduate from Davenport! Again, I have no pictures of him except these two!

Morgan was such a trooper!!! She did awesome considering we were at Van Andel for 3 hours!! She did get to go for a walk with Grandpa after Travis got his diploma. Congrats to my brother!!! After graduation, my parents took us for supper at Outback Steakhouse (Thanks Mom & Dad!)

New friends

Well, we have waited a LONG time for these and they have now finally come threw!!!!!! This past weekend I saw that the gums in the front were swollen but I couldn't feel anything. I checked again on Tuesday night and sure enough, I could feel them! Both of her bottom teeth are FINALLY coming in!!!!!!!! This morning when we brushed our "teeth" we actually got to brush them!!!!!!

Sorry for the poor pictures. Morgan isn't quite ready to show them off yet!!! :)

Daddy time!

Last night we had prom at OAC. Since I was on prom committee, I had to be there. So, Morgan got to spend time with Daddy! (Thanks to Grandma B. & Great Grandma L. for watching Morgan until Neal got home!)

I guess Morgan got so dirty that Neal almost had to give her a bath. However, he was running out of time so a quick wipe down worked! How cute is she!!!!!

Not quite sure what is going on here...except that I'm thinking it isn't good!!!

They did come and visit me at prom and I will post pictures from that when I get them. Morgan really enjoyed dancing and all the attention that she got from the staff and students!

Morgan & Lena

On Thursday night, Neal's cousin (Doug & Laura & Lena) walked over for supper. We haven't seen them since the superbowl, so it was fun to catch up. We had a yummy supper. The ladies had fun inside with the girls and the boys throw the softball around in the yard. It was tons of fun!

A true VanderZwaag-LOVES TO EAT!!!!!

9 Months

AHHHH!!!! Our little baby is 9 months old already! It is so amazing how quickly she is growing up. I feel that when I pick her up from day care she is doing something new. We currently have learned to clap and she is starting to somewhat pull herself up on things (well, really just on my legs when she wants something!) Tonight she did manage to get up on her knees and lay in the coffee table. It was pretty funny! Still NO teeth!! The dr. said she saw them in there...so I guess there are going to come someday (hopefully) I have been told later teeth are better teeth...so hopefully!!!

Other than that we are enjoying watching Morgan grow. We are so thankful for her each and every day and know she is a gift from God.

Play Date #4

Our final play date was this afternoon. Morgan got to play with her cousin Jackson. Jackson & Morgan were suppose to be born a week apart however, Jackson decided to come earlier. So they are about 2 1/2 weeks apart. It was so much fun seeing those two interact because they are so close in age. It was also neat to see what Jackson does that Morgan will (hopefully) be doing soon! They both would follow each other around the room. It was super cute! Jackson can come over and play anytime since Morgan has now been sleeping for more than 2 hours!!! Thanks Jackson & Jodi for coming over and playing!

Morgan & Jackson crawled through the tunnel at the same time! Yes, Morgan is pulling his hair! We are still working on the hair thing!! Sorry Jackson!

Jodi-I want you to know that I fixed the tunnel (I found the directions!), so Jackson will have to come back and play! Maybe I'll bring it to your house when we come over!!
