9 Weeks and counting...

Harper is doing just great! It seems like she changes a little every day. Now she is smiling and "talking" to us. She says "ah-goo" and "ooo", it's so cute! We have been able to get her to take the pacifier at bedtime, but she is still trying to suck on her hand. I try and give her the paci when I catch her sucking away, so maybe she'll learn to like it before her thumb!  She's doing so good on her tummy time, lifting her head for a good bit before having to put it down. I think now she is excited to be able to hold her head up! 


Uncle Kevin came for a visit & got lots of smiles.

Daddy's got me!

It was pretty on Friday, so we took her for a stroll. Notice the huge mittens that make Mommy feel better! We couldn't find tiny baby mittens, so I got the smallest ones we could find. She will probably be able to wear them next winter!

Laughing at Mommy!

Mommy and Harper:) I have to remember to get Ken to snap pics of us since I'm usually the one behind the camera!

Baby Einstein Fun!



Harper's vantage point :)


Who's that sweet baby in the mirror?

The bassinet comes in handy in the kitchen while mommy bakes bread!

First time to have liquid vitamin. The tongue squished it right out! Maybe some of it was swallowed! 

Finally they let me take a break!

Making Faces

Here are some of Harper's funny & fussy faces:


Don't take my picture!

Ugh, you did it anyway!

Stretch!

I'm an angel!

There's that hand...

So you've seen this one of Harper


Think it resembles this one of me any?
Maybe a little? I was looking through my baby scrapbook and this reminded me of her!

Clean Baby!

Harper all clean from her bath. I love the little hooded towels on her! 




So this is a great example of what Shady is NOT supposed to do. I walked out of the room for a minute while Harper was napping and returned to find this. I snapped a picture then she got a big NO while I was secretly laughing inside! Shady is very protective of Harper, just like any other big sister:)

Changing Time

Look at these sweet feet!

Still couldn't quite wake up...

No clothes! Yea!

Reaching for the rattle-it worked! I got eyes! :)

The sweet moments are...sweet!

Waking up from a nap!

Harper was waking up from a nap & couldn't quite get her eyes open yet. It was so cute! Guess she's getting big for this little top-look at that belly sticking out! 





It is SO funny when she does this. She'll flex her whole body and GRUNT!

Around the House

"Sister" Shady keeps an eye out for Harper

Snoozing with Daddy...AGAIN (how come Mommy doesn't get this many naps? :)

Fell asleep on the way home from Grandmommy & Daddy Ray's
