Keep on Rollin'

I finally got to see Harper roll from her tummy to her back last night! I know that she's been doing it for a while, but only when she's in bed/asleep! We've been practicing during playtime, but I couldn't seem to get her interested in it, but then the last few days she has been sorta hugging a toy on her tummy and rolling half her body over. Last night she rolled all the way--and then right back to her tummy! 

This morning there has been more rolling around and then I gave her some cereal. She is napping now, so maybe it won't be so hard on her tummy this time. It's just so cute to see her sitting up in her highchair-eating! I can't believe she'll be 24 weeks on Monday. Everyone warned me that time would fly, and it surely has!

Cinco de Mayo!


Natalie and Anderson came over to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by eating cheese dip and tacos. The weather cooperated so we could sit outside for a bit. Big A had to eat his chips fast--Shady got a few right out of his hand (hopefully not his mouth!). He even got to test out Harper's high chair. I think the pink dots were very flattering:) It was a fun evening & a bit of a preview of what dinner time at the beach may be like!

Harper tried her best to get some chips. The bag makes a great racket!

Anderson tries out a tiny chip and cheese dip-mmmm!

Well, Harper didn't quite understand she was supposed to look at the camera:)

Wheeeee!

There's a sweet face!

A Budding Food Critic...




Happy Girl






Here she goes...

Yea Harper!

Little long legs


Harper seems to be growing like a weed these days! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted much new info lately, but things have been pretty busy around here! We've had a fun few weeks of celebration. We hosted a couples shower for our good friends, Stacy & Allison, a few weeks before the engagement party for Katie and Vincent Then, this past weekend, Ken and I were both in Stacy & Allison's wedding. It was gorgeous and we were so honored to be a part of their special day. Mom and Dad came down Friday night and kept Harper for us. They enjoyed getting to spend some quality time with her and Harper loved it too! 

She is rolling over now and getting better at sitting up. She makes a good little tripod, then once she sees her feet she just folds in half. This is especially fun during bath time. My arms are getting a workout just keeping her from going face first, but tonight she got a big ol' slurp of bath water-ew! Harper has started to splash the water just a little, and she loves to chew on the monkey attached to her tub. It's hilarious to watch!

Harper loves to sip water out of my cup. I noticed her watching me as I took a drink one day, and I just held it up to her little baby mouth to see what she'd do-and what do you know? The little baby takes a drink! Now she knows exactly what my cup is and grabs for her sip every time:) Since I'm still nursing her, we've decided to delay starting solids until about now. Harper had her first rice cereal Sunday evening, and again Monday night. It gave her a huge tummy ache (of course it didn't occur to us that that's what was wrong with her) and for 2 days we wondered where our baby had gone?! I guess we'll give it a few more days and try again. My sister gave me a great baby food cookbook and I can't wait to make Harper some of the yummy baby dishes in it.  Okay, here are some really cute pictures :)
