Baby's First Christmas

Morgan was 12 days old for her first Christmas. She spent time meeting lots of family and friends. She met her great grandmother Nan Embleton.















And her great grandmother - Nana Dean















Christmas Eve at Nan and "Sir" McKinney's :)














Even Kitty was curious to meet this little person.

Morgan's first stocking was bigger than she is. Her Nanny Dean might spoil her just a little.

Bubbles stopped by for a visit.














Morgan met her uncle Jared.

We took a few pictures of my belly on December 11th, which turned out to be the day my water broke. Timing is everything.

Morgan had her first bath on Tuesday. She seemed to like the warm water. For her second bath, she decided to play some tricks on us. She thought it would be funny to teach us a lesson by pooping on her towel as soon as we took her out of the bath. So we put her back in the tub to clean up again, and she outsmarted us by pooping in her tub. It was pretty funny, but pretty gross too! She's got a sense of humour already.

Morgan Elizabeth Dean Has Arrived!

Well, it has been quite a week. Morgan Elizabeth was born on Tuesday, December 13th at 2:16 AM. She was a healthy 7 pound, 12 ounces. She is the most beautiful thing we've ever seen, and we are completely in love with her. It's quite an experience.
