Morgan the Crawling Monkey

Fall has finally reached the northeast and there is a wonderful chill in the air. Of course it will be more wonderful once they finally turn on the heat and the chill in the air is not in my apartment but I digress. This chilly air has brought with it the need for Morgan to have new winter apparel...also his ever growing body has contributed to this need for new clothing. I was recently shopping for his winter hat and thought to myself, I could just buy any warm looking hat with a solid color or bold stripe but then something fun caught my eye and I thought...why be boring if you don't have to be! So here it is, Morgan's new winter hat in all its Monkey glory!!!



















Cody went for another jog with Morgan on Saturday and since the weather was the slightest bit cold I felt the need to dress Morgan like he was headed into the Siberian Tundra. He had little mittens on but couldn't grasp anything and was just sitting in a pathetic, unhappy state so Cody took them off and let his little fingers get nice and bright red. Mother decided to overlook this!



















Another development in the life of Morgan is his ability to crawl around. He is still figuring things out and hasn't yet pushed himself up off the floor but he manages and with amazing speed if properly motivated. Chase, the little boy I watch twice a week, has been a great motivating factor. Chase can crawl like a champ and walk along the furniture and walls. Ever since Morgan saw this he decided he must do that also and tries to chase Chase around the livingroom. This little video was taken on one of the first days Morgan tried to attempt some movement. Man these little guys grow up fast!
