Harper: 5 Months

Harper girlie is now five months old!  She can roll from her tummy to her back, do big belly laughs, and sit with little assistance.  She had her first rice cereal the other night and is excited to start vegetables next month.  We love our little baby girl!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

We took Harper Christmas tree shopping this weekend.  We had planned for her to wear a winter coat with a red wool hat, but it was seventy degrees outside.  She wore a cute birdie outfit instead :)  We picked the perfect tree with Harper's approval.  It only took three trips to the store to get enough lights and an entire night of ornament decorating, but the tree looks beautiful.

A Very Thankful Thanksgiving

This was a very special Thanksgiving.  Alex and I are truly thankful to have the opportunity to raise such a sweet baby girl.  We are thankful for every smile, babble, snuggle, and the occasional nap Harper gives us :)  Harper is our most precious gift.  I am also very grateful for my co-parent, without whom I would most certainly be struggling.  Alex's inherent parenting abilities continue to inspire me. 

   

We had Thanksgiving at Katherine and Tessie's house this year.  They hosted a beautiful feast for quite a large crowd!  Alex's parents came from California to celebrate with us and my parents drove over from Cary.  It was a wonderful Thanksgiving indeed!

Museum of the New South

I am on vacation this week.  It has been so nice to be back at home with Harper and Alex.  The weather has been awful, however, with rain every day.  We went to the Museum of the New South today in Uptown for a change of scenery.

Harper: 4 Months

Harper girl is four months old!  Over the past few weeks she has started to laugh, grab for things with her hands, and has discovered her feet!  Everything she touches ends up in her mouth.  Her hair continues to be a conversation starter in public.  She cannot roll over yet, but is trying to!
