Getting big...

Harper had her 2 week appointment today. Her weight was 7lb 11oz (35th percentile). Thanks to such a great weight gain, we no longer have to wake her up in the night to eat! YEA! I realize she will wake us up, but it will make such a difference not waking her up when she is still so tired. We had our first day all by ourselves today, and I think we were successful. I had planned her feedings perfectly for her appointment, but the doctor was running late. So by the time she got in the room, Harper was STARVING and so upset! We got everything taken care of, including a meal... and by the time we got home, she was sacked out! Since she didn't have a morning nap and then such a crying spell, she has been sleeping most of the afternoon. I hope this isn't going to mess up her night time sleep! I'm certainly hoping for the best! Here are a few pictures from the last few days. 

First time in her chair... she loves that it vibrates! 

As Corby said... How can someone be so young and look so old? 
Clearly he's referring to how high her pants are coming up! 
Newborn clothes are just so huge on her! 
Despite the looks of this picture, she really did enjoy her first real bath. 
It's the lotion that puts her over the edge! 

So tired from her hard day at the doctor!

She is precious! I could just squeeze her! All of the Harrises are anxiously awaiting the day we get to meet our new friend Harper! Cilla will have to give Harper her hand-me-downs. She has all kinds of cute clothes that have been worn like twice. It is so nice to not have to wake them up! YAY for weight gain! I know you miss your madre! I cried like a baby when mine left! We should road trip to LR together soon!
