Mommy's Reflections on Morgan:

This little tyke has kept us on our toes from the very moment he arrived! Morgan is playful, smart, curious, fearless, a tad reckless, and very fun. I've been thinking that one of the special blessings Jacoby has had in his life is that he made us parents and we also got to share two special years with him as a family of three. For Morgan, he's been able to share his first year with Jacoby and begin building the special relationship brothers have. I've been amazed that the foundation for sibling friendship can start so young! Jacoby's been looking out for Morgan since we brought him home, and if Morgan is in his "trouble-finding" mode, Jacoby is always quick to ask if Morgan can have a second chance. They are extremely blessed to have each other and we look forward to watching their relationship grow over many years to come. Morgan makes all of us laugh and smile each day. He's got an intense personality wrapped up in a little body and sometimes his temper gets the better of him, but he is always eager to start over and try again. We love this little guy and look forward to year 2 with him!
