Sneak peak



Here are a few photos from Harper's 3 month photo session. I will post the link once all the proofs come in. She did SO good while we were there. She does have a tendency to pee on the photographer's, Nate, blankets. Lol. Luckily it was laundry day. We also managed to get through 5 wardrobe changes!!! Whew!

Harper just keeps learning and growing everyday!



Well, now that Harper has rolled from her stomach to her back it was time for her to roll from her back to stomach...she's done it a couple of times so it's still a work in progress. She gets stuck a lot of the times because she's gnawing on her hand. Lol. I also think she is left handed (like mommy & daddy) because she sucks on her left hand, grabs everything with her left hand, etc. I'm sure it's too soon to tell but unless she suddenly discovers her right hand, we may have a lefty. :-)

We had her 3 month check-up last Friday and everything turned out great! The doctor says she is growing like a weed (11 lb 7 oz & 24" long). It's crazy to think she is already 3 months old. She is so much fun and it's seems to be something new everyday. The doctor said we could probably start her slowly on solids next month!!! AT 4 MONTHS???? I thought that was a stretch but we will see. She has shown signs of teething already...she slobbers EVERYWHERE and chews on her hands a lot. We've had to grow accustomed to keeping a bib on her now. So far no fever or pain though...crossing my fingers it will stay that way!

Just after her 3 month visit, mommy & daddy went on a weekend long trip to see a few concerts. It was my 1st time away from her and boy did I miss her! Although I must say it was nice to drink too. :-) We were glad to be back home with her Sunday and thank her Grandma Grace for toughing it out with her!!!

Off to tend to the little one...

Lots of new things...




Harper has done a lot since I posted last! She grabbed a hold of her toy on her activity mat last week. She holds her head up really well when we hold her and during tummy time. She likes to watch the dog and cat walk by when she's on her tummy. Just this past week she also rolled from her stomach to her back. She has done that twice now! I was so excited about her rolling over I immediately called Adam and my mom. It's so neat to see all the new things she learns to do just by me showing her everyday. She catches on quick!

Harper still talks and smiles constantly...her new favorite thing is to talk when she has her fist (or fingers) in her mouth! She likes to mimic your sounds too. We have screaming contests every now and again. She usually wins that though. :>)

She is a very good sleeper at night. We have gotten her schedule down and she would usually sleep from 8-9pm and wake up to eat at 4-4:30 then continues to sleep until 7:30-8. But for the past couple of nights she has slept from 8:30 until 7am!!!! I got up the 1st night freaking out and went to check on her...I hope it stays like this because it's quite nice to get that much sleep straight!

This week will be a great week because Mom and Aunt Robin get here on Friday and are staying until Monday! I'm so ready to see my family and get some help with her so I can actually get stuff done. Well, I'm off to play with her for a while...we will write again soon!
