Baby Graham

For us, picking names for both Morgan and our baby boy took some time. Their names will last a lifetime so we took our time in making a decision. We have decided our little boy’s name will be Graham. We have liked Graham all along and I like the idea of using Bryan’s initials for our little boy so that is what we have decided to do. For those of you who didn't know, Bryan’s first name is George. Our baby’s full name will be Graham Bennett Baughman. It feels good to finally have a name! How we just have to wait and meet him to make sure the name is a good fit! :)

Thanksgiving 2009

We went to visit my family in El Campo for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was a wonderful weekend filled with family and food. Morgan enjoyed visiting with everyone and had a blast at Gram’s house. The weather was beautiful so she spent a lot of time playing outside. Morgan loves playing on Gram’s swing set and is also very entertained with all of the balls and tricycles that she has. We were all sad that we didn’t get to see Aunt Kristie, Uncle Brian and Baby Colton. Baby Colton was sick so they stayed home so that his illness didn’t spread. Hopefully we will see them sometime soon!! This was our last trip until after the baby is born. We will miss you all!! You all are welcome to come visit us. It is hard to believe that next time we make the trip to El Campo we will have two kiddos!







We are so thankful for all of the many blessings we have been given in our lives. This year has been one of the best years of our lives watching Morgan grow into the sweet little girl that she is. She is such a joy and we are so thankful that God has blessed us with her.

Morgan's Big Girl Bed

This was a BIG week in the Baughman household. We moved Morgan to her new big girl bed on Wednesday night. As many of you know, Bryan and I were dreading this day for the past couple months. We knew that we wanted to move her out of her crib to allow her time to get comfortable in her new bed before her baby brother arrives and needs the crib. This was hard for us though because she has been the best little sleeper and we didn’t know how she was going to handle the new bed and we didn’t want to mess up her great sleeping habits. Morgan went to daycare on Wednesday and when she got home we had her new bed set up and ready for her. We have been making a big deal about her new room and when she got home she walked in her room and a huge smile covered her face. She was so excited and wanted in her bed right away. We played in her room for the majority of the evening because she didn’t want to leave her new bed. After a couple hours passed she found the crib in the nursery. As soon as she saw it she said…baby bubba. She seems to understand that the crib will be the baby’s bed and she doesn’t seem to mind one bit!! Thank goodness. Wednesday night we went through our normal routine and put her in bed after reading a book and she was sleeping within 10 minutes, just like every other night. She didn’t make a peep all night. She did great and we were so proud. Thursday morning I was up early waiting for her make her first peep so I could go in and get her before she tried to crawl out of bed. It worked perfect. Hopefully she will learn to start calling us when she wants out rather than trying to climb out. We will see. Thursday during nap time she was humming herself to sleep and I heard a big thud following by screaming. I ran in to find her on the floor beside her nightstand. Poor baby…she did fall out. We have a bed rail but it doesn’t cover the entire length of the bed. She must have slipped through the crack. She was fine, we rocked a little and she was fast asleep and back in bed. No more falls since then. Hopefully she learned her lesson?!? This was really a big step and we are thankful that it has gone so well and hoping that it will continue. We are so proud of our little girl!! Here are a couple pictures of Morgan’s big girl room.
