Saturday play
We took the girls to Chick-fil-a for breakfast Saturday morning. Harper loved the indoor play area! Here she's pushing buttons making the animals talk.

7 Weeks and Growing!
It's seems wild that Claire is already 7 weeks old (and 3 days!). I can already tell that things are different for the second child. I haven't taken a thousand pictures of her the way I did Harper-not because she isn't an equally beautiful subject, but due more to the fact that Mommy is busy! And tired! So I'm using most of my free time (snort!) to just cuddle her.
She's growing and really strong, yet still a little baby to me. Here are a few snaps from this week:

Ready to go get sister from school.
Tummy time!
I swear she is going to crawl any day now!
Harper entertains by creating art on her easel.
Who is that adorable baby in the mirror?
Sister love
Aw, their first matchy-matchy outfits!
7 Weeks Old
Harper Strikes a Pose
Harper is starting to love the camera a bit more again. We are trying to not make her fake "cheese" smile, but are super happy that she actually looks a the camera some! These are from a few weeks ago. I've just been playing with babies instead of keeping up the pictures. There are many currently living on the memory card that I promise to have uploaded soon!
My dad measured Harper last weekend and she is 34" tall! She is currently really into "twirling" in her skirts and dresses, and has started the, "Watch Mommy! Watch Daddy!" phase already. She's also having toddler moments and is "NOT do it" quite a bit, but in between those moments is an absolute delight. Ken and I are just trying to stay patient, set the appropriate boundaries and be super thankful that we've been blessed with her. We love her smiles, hugs and kisses, all of which she gives lots of!

Been playing in Mommy's closet again. She said "Mommy pink shoes!"

Christmas Catch-up!
Oops! Just realized that I never posted any from Christmas Day!
Harper got a fun little pink kitchen from Santa!
And lots of goodies in her stocking too!
Not bad for a self-portrait? Hamners, this is why we were 30 minutes late arriving for lunch!
A trampoline! Go Harper go!
Our next door neighbors Santa, a.k.a., Harper's best friend. She had to hug and kiss him every day. EVERY DAY!
Exactly what is a pillow pet?

Photo Shoot with Joy Wright
We had a shoot with Joy Wright a few weeks back. Despite Harper's tendency to not stand still or even look in the general direction of the camera, and Claire's debut of awakeness (when she had been sleeping all day), she still managed to get these lovely photos. Genius, I tell you! This slide show will be up for the next 7 days. Enjoy while you can. I can't quit watching it! :)
The link has expired, but here are two of the photos:

Last Post of 2010!
What a year it has been!
I remember this time last year Ken and I were just amazed with how awesome we thought Harper was. She was newly walking, could say MaMa and DaDa, I was just about done with breast-feeding her, and we were all sleeping really good-like ALL night! She was so amazing, that we were starting to think about when we wanted to make another one of these "perfect" babies!
Harper had her eye surgery in February, so we were working with patching her eyes until then. We started remodeling the upstairs bathroom for "the kids, and found out not long after that we were in fact expecting baby #2! Harper had her first trip to the zoo, a couple of visits to the beach, watched the Blue Angels, then before you know it, it was fall. That brought visits to the University campus, Bryant Denny Stadium, Homecoming parades and pep rallies-all done in true Bama fashion, of course! Harper grew as she watched my belly grow. We started talking about the baby sister that was on her way and wondered how Harper would handle the addition. I waddled my way to football games-even made the Iron Bowl 38 weeks pregnant! We stayed in town for Thanksgiving and got ready to welcome baby Claire! We had a sad time this year, too, as we lost my Grandmother Hollis. Our hearts were heavier this Christmas, but we continue to celebrate the wonderful life she had.
Harper has so far been absolutely wonderful with her baby sister. She still loves to kiss her, hold her hand, touch her head, and hold her in her lap. I have not seen the jealousy that I'd expected from a toddler. Granted it's only been 4 weeks, but I am so proud of her!
I'm up late, as our days and nights are mixed up anyway! Ken and I are just so blessed with our little family, and to have such fantastic family and friends in our lives. Here's to another super year in 2011!
