The Little Miss Turns 4!

Last Thursday was Morgan's 4th birthday. It is amazing how fast time is flying by! We started the day off with a stack of pancakes with a candle in it. That was a tradition at my house growing up. With Shelby in school now and daddy having a ball game in the afternoon, she quickly opened gifts before daddy took sis to school. Daddy stayed home to play and have lunch with the birthday girl. She wanted spaghetti so we took her to Fazoli's. The flower shop delivery lady was waiting for us when we got home with flowers and a balloon from Nonny Moe.
In the afternoon we made chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles. Our church was still having the revival with Life Action so that evening the girls and I headed to church. Morgan took some cupcakes to share with the leaders of Happy Heart City. We had a good day even though it is hard for her to understand she had to wait until the end of May for her party. In this birthday post I wanted to write about what type of things she is up to these days. The girl still plays with her babies (they are not dolls) everyday and makes things pretty realistic. She does the same thing with the play cell phone. She cried real tears one day when she realized she had left the phone home. She was afraid she'd miss a call. I told her they would leave a message. And the questions, the questions, the questions. They just keep on comin'! Today while I was packing up groceries at Aldi's she asked, "Why does Shelby have chubbier cheeks than I do"? After that one I had to tell her not to ask me a another question for at least 5 minutes!
She weighed in at the doctor yesterday at 31 1/2 lbs. That put her in the 10% tile for weight and her height is in the 25%. On the small side according to the doc but he seemed pleased enough to know she eats better than her sister! Now that she is 4 I think we will try gymnastics again. She is still a real squirmy wormy so we will see how she does. Happy Birthday Sassafras!
