6 more days until my summer with Harper!

Harper and I can't wait until summer. Sleeping in, swimming, and going to the snow cone lady! Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks that I thought were too cute. Here we come summer! Photo 1: Harper and her puppy.
Photo 2: Harper's puppy enjoying licking her hand...
Photo 3: Uh oh- Jackson going in for the kiss! Resting with Daddy.

And last, hanging out in her new toy and working on her standing skills.

Can't wait to post summer pictures. :)

We like rice yes we do, we like rice, how about you?

Harper loves to eat her new snack- rice cereal! She loves the banana flavored one.
She has now learned to open her mouth when she sees the spoon. She will tilt her head back when she is trying to swallow and kick her legs up like this.

Harper wanted to do the spoon herself!

It's so fun to have her and I love every little milestone. We bought her a big girl car seat this weekend because she is getting so tall! Of course it's pink with chocolate brown polka dots.

Happy Monday!

Country Place Family Picnic

Harper made her debut at the picnic and the kids rushed to see her. She was loved on by many!

My teammates and Harper at the picnic!

Rock-n-Roll

Well, Harper rolled over today. Not at home, not at preschool, but in my classroom at Country Place! We had family picnic night and Brett and I were in my classroom getting a quick bite before heading outside when she decided to show us what she can do. I had laid a blanket out and she was rolling to her side (as always), but then threw her head into it and made it all the way around! At first her arm was stuck underneath her, but the second time she rolled when she made it all the way on her tummy she pulled her arm out from under her and looked around. I can't believe how fast she is growing and changing.

I'm so happy and life is great! I can't wait to video her rolling over and add it to the blog!

two posts in one day to share pictures!

He is so precious and looks so peaceful.

The Arrival of Andrew: Psalm 139:13-16

I had been sitting on pins and needles awaiting Andrew's arrival. I couldn't wait for him to come and be a part of this world and a part of our family. Elizabeth had been having contractions for several days and had us thinking it could be at any time! Friday night Kimberly and I headed up to the hospital at midnight and made it just in time to see Andrew wheeled into the nursey. He was born May 8th at 1:08 am. Andrew is 7 pounds and 20 and 3/4 inches. He looks so small and perfect. Mom, Dad, and Baby are all doing well. Here's a picture of Andrew with me at the hospital!

Psalm 139:13-16 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

I can't wait to add more pictures of Andrew and live life with him. Harper's going to have so much fun wtih her cousin!

First Bad Cold and First Wedding!

This week Harper had her first bad cold and she didn't let it get her down. She was all smiles- smiling when coughing and smiling when her bottle came right back up! Here are some pics of her relaxing in her jammies and fighting off this cold. We have had the humidifier going in her room so much it feels like a rain forest and it's working- she's starting to feel better!

Harper also went to her first wedding. KP and Bart got married on May 1st in Fort Worth at a beautiful chapel. Harper behaved so well during the ceremony and had so much fun at the reception she fell asleep before they served the cake.

Harper, mommy, and the bride!

She liked this chair until she started to slide over head first in slow motion...
