Big New Year!

This year is already proving to be a big year of firsts for Morgan.
And since Pepper is still a baby, everything is new and exciting for her.On Monday morning, Morgan, started preschool. Two sisters from our ward run a little school in the basement of one of their homes. It is a very cute setup and there are other children from church that attend. Morgan was very excited to go to school and see his friends and teachers.
They said he did a great job and played well with the other kids. Yipee!
Morgan's other big event was turning his bed on Saturday into a "big boy bed." We just took off the front of his crib and put up a railing so he can climb in and out. I was wondering if this would affect his wonderful sleeping habits at all but so far nothing seems to have changed. He still yells out for us when he wants to get up and never gets out of bed without permission. I'm sure one day he'll catch on to his new found freedom but for now we're not going to let him know.

This Sunday the kids wore new outfits from Gramma so I had to take a picture.
I prepared Morgan on the way home from church that we were going to take a picture before he had lunch and got to watch a show. He was very willing to take the picture, which was a miracle and he looked so handsome! When I told him to put his arm around Pepper and this is what he did I just cracked up!

I can't get enough of these two!

Pepper has now learned to pull herself up on everything.
This is not my favorite new development sometimes as she gets into everything but at least she is still pretty short. She's starting to get pretty good at cruising along the furniture.
She also loves to babble constantly and to have you repeat her noises. We have lots of great conversations this way!

I also managed to do Pepper's first ponytail.
It is still quite little and not really worth it but I was excited nonetheless!


Oh yeah, and Morgan's eyes have now changed to green like his daddy's eyes.
But the dimples are still all mine!

Morgan wanted to take some pictures and this is one he managed to get of Pepper.
She loves to feed herself little crunchies and puffs and will sit there for quite along time as long as you keep feeding her.
Like brother like sister!
So this is how our year is starting out and we couldn't be happier!
I can't wait to see what other firsts this year has in store for us.

How fun for Morgan. We start a little school at home class this Monday. We'll see how it goes. I am in charge. His crib looks good with the rail on it. Pepper's ponytail is too funny. Don't worry, one day she'll have plenty of hair!
