Our 7 month old sweetie

As I always say, I can't believe that another month has gone by. Harper is growing like crazy, and I kind of want it to stop. However, she's becoming more fun as each day goes by, so I'm pretty excited about our 7th month with her. Here are some of the things Harper is doing at 7 months old:

-Sleeps about 12 hours straight at night... I love it! She's been doing that since 9 weeks old!

-Eats her solids fairly well, although she prefers the kind that Gerber makes and not her momma's homemade food. I trick her and put half homemade and half Gerber in one bowl... she eats it very well. Still eating 4 8oz bottles a day

-She chews everything in sight and especially LOVES her Sophie giraffe (it's in the picture)

-Sits up perfectly on her own and occasionally pushes herself forward... the crawling will be coming, but not too soon (I kind of like it that way).

-Strangers are a bit of an issue right now, but like I said before, we're working on it

-She LOVES all of her family! And let's be honest, they are all quite obsessed with her too!

I love her personality that is coming out, even if it is a little dramatic. She comes by that honestly. Corby and I love her more and more every day!!! We're looking forward to the blessing of another month with our sweet Harper girl!

It Finally Happened!

Congratulations on your wedding, Jim and Pam.

Love,

Harper's Big on Little Rock

Yes, Harper and I are in LR for the week, and we are both excited about it. My sisters are coming too, and I can't wait to see them!!! In fact, I wish they were here right this second!

Harper did great in the car. She slept for about an hour and played with her feet the rest of the time. She didn't cry one time... I was shocked! So far, Harper is having a great time. She experienced a little bit of stranger anxiety when we arrived, but she's doing great now. (The stranger anxiety has been in full force lately... even at church! We're working through it.) Harper is a big fan of Daisy, my mom's/sister's cat. Any time she gets near her, Harper reaches out for her. It's precious, even though I'm allergic to her. No pictures yet, but I'm sure there will be some.... especially when Eliana gets here. We have several matching outfits for them to wear! I can't wait! In the mean time, here is a cute picture of Harper from Monday. Yes, she's looking a little rough... a dirty shirt, head band to the side, pants so tight you can see through them, etc, but I think she's still SO cute!

Getting excited about a fun week!

How precious are these bunny slippers?!?!

She got them for Christmas last year from her Kay-Kay!

To my Auntee LC

Happy Birthday, Auntee LC! My mom told me that you were there the day I was born. Sorry I don't remember that, but if you recall... it was a pretty traumatic day for me. But I do remember the last time you came over. I'm sure you remember it too. I screamed the whole time, and I am still so sorry about that. I was so tired from my shots. What was mom thinking leaving me with someone the day I got my shots?!?! Anyway, even though I didn't show it that day, I love when you're around! You are so funny. And you buy really great gifts! Thanks for all of the polo shirts and the Walgreens ponies! My mom also tells me what an amazing friend you are, and that she hopes I find a friend like you when I grow up. So thank you for being such a wonderful Auntee!!! I hope to see you soon, and I hope you have a great birthday! I love you!

Harper's Pumpkin Onesie

I mentioned earlier that I ruined a onesie trying to sew on a pumpkin applique. So today I decided to make another one, but this time, I hand-stitched it on. I'm still not confident enough with the sewing machine. If you saw the burp cloth I made yesterday, you would understand! So here is Harper's pumpkin onesie. I think it's pretty cute!

Let's try this again, hogs.

I think that during our photo session this afternoon, Harper understood the seriousness of tonight's game. The hogs need to win... simple as that. She wouldn't crack a smile! This girl wants the hogs to beat those Aggies (no hard feelings to her Aunt Risa)!

GO HOGS!!!!

Happy birthday, Little Sister of mine!

Today is Leah's 22nd birthday!!! I can't believe how old she is!

Leah, I hope that you're having a great day!!! I definitely wish I could be there to celebrate with you! You are such an amazing woman, and I'm amazed at your strength every single day! It is such a blessing to have you as a sister! I love you and can't wait to see you soon!!!

Love,

Lauren
