An Owie, A Pioneer Treck, and a Crawler

See this adorable pink and brown outfit? Morgan was trying SO hard to crawl yesterday (Saturday) but instead her knees slipped out from under her, as they often do on our tile, and she hit her top gum on the floor. Clint picked her up and tried to calm her down but then realized she was bleeding. Apparantly there is a tooth super close to the surface because it had broke the skin and was bleeding pretty bad. In fact Clint got sick to his stomach and almost passed out! It was sad for Morgan, funny for Clint. Luckily I had a teething ring in the freezer and just gave that to her to chew on. She was fine in no time. And luckily I got all the blood out of her cute outfit :)

Today we ventured to church for the very first time. Of course I didn't have my camera with me. We left the house a little after 7 this morning and walked about a block to the bus stop. Not too bad, except it was freezing cold. I wore flip flops because they were easier to walk in than heels (I changed into my heels when we got to church). We got off the bus after a very short ride, luckily I realized that I had left the diaper bag on the bus BEFORE he drove away.

Next we hopped on the awesome KoRail (Korean Subway). And I mean awesome, its so clean and once you get the hang of it, the maps aren't too hard to read. We rode the subway for a short while and then got off and hopped on another subway that would finally take us to our destination. In between stops we had to climb quite a few stairs with Morgan in the stroller. When we got off at our last stop and were carrying her up another flight of stairs Clint said, "man, we're pioneers." And I said, "yep that's right, and the more stairs we climb the more blessings we get for being at church." (we thought it was funny).

The church was only a couple of blocks down the street from our last stop and it was the weirdest looking chapel I've ever seen. I'll get pictures next week. I guess its brand new, and its 3 stories with a parking garage underneath. It ended up taking us just under 2 hours to get there. Which made for a LONG day.

The meetings were nice. During sunday school I took Morgan out to change her diaper to find that there isn't a changing table in the building. There is a little room where mom's do their nursing and what not, so I took her in there and changed her on a little foot rest stool. Of course she kicked the dirty diaper out of my hand and it hit my leg then hit the leg of the chair I was sitting on, so I got to clean up even more of a poopy mess. After that fun fiasco I decided to just let her play until Sunday School was over. Remember how I said she crawled a couple of steps the other day? Well, I had my eyes closed for about 2 seconds and when I opened them she was crawling like she had been doing it for years. I was shocked!

It took her a while to figure out how to crawl on our tile floor. But she got the hang of it by the end of the night. At first she would crawl on one knee and one foot. So funny. Here's a video of her right before bed. Now we can't keep her in one spot. I know she's almost a year old, but I was shocked at how fast she progressed once she figured it out. Oh and its funny cause when she's crawling toward something she wants, she cries the whole way until she gets there.

Oh, and I counted how many women were in Relief Society(the women's organization in our church) today...17...3 of which were visitors. Crazy coming from Alabama, where we couldn't find a room in the building big enough to fit all the women.
