5 month update

Harper is getting to be such a little girl. She doesn't just want to be held all the time anymore. Now it is all about being in her jumpy chair, or playing on the floor, or sitting up. She hasn't fully mastered sitting up on her own, but she is getting very close. I don't know what we would do without the Boppy.




About that saying on my dress!!! (maybe my favorite photo of Harper yet)


We were also very lucky that Aunt Carrie came to town and Harper was finally able to meet her. I find it amusing that she has now met Carrie and Shannon, but not at the same time. Carrie was able to block out a night, and Steph and Chip hosted us all, and fixed an awesome dinner, with Sandra making an amazing blueberry pie ... a first for almost everyone. I am sure Chip will post better pictures of the evening on their blog.

July 4th

We enjoyed a great 3 day weekend for the Fourth of July. Harper just loves the water, and we were lucky enough to be invited to the pool on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately on Friday, I forgot to pack the camera, but luckily our wonderful hosts Sarah & Ted took some pictures that I will post at some point. We had a great time, and Harper went underwater for the first time, and seemed to enjoy it, although it was quite surprising to her. Then Saturday we went to Cindy & Roger's for a 4th cookout, and more pool time. The food was amazing and it was great hanging out with the family for the Fourth. Luckily I remembered the camera for this one.
And today, Harper spent the afternoon with Gina's parents while we did some yard work, cleaned the house, and then I put together her high chair/booster seat combo. Harper really enjoyed the new seat, and just loves being spoon fed now.
