Visit with Nannie & Pappap

Last night Nannie and Pappap came to visit with you. You were a little tired and fell asleep while they were holding you but I think they loved it! We got some pics of you. Daddy loves u sweetie!



The Glider!

Hey Harper...the last two days I have been rocking you in the glider while playing the ipod and I think you love it. I know that I love it! You are so calm and peaceful in your room for some reason. Now the story of the glider....Your mom wanted a glider and me your dad being a penny pincher did not want to buy a new one so I stopped by a thrift store one day and wouldn't you know, there it is...a glider for $25 bucks. So we got it. Your mom did not like the color of the cushions so your auntie C and uncle Chris got them recovered for us. Then Pepe' added some wood strips on the bottom to raise it up so it wouldn't rub the floor. So there's been a few hands in the glider and I know you appreciate every ones help. Daddy loves u!

Card from Aunt Pam and Uncle David

I also forgot to share with you that you just got a card from my Uncle David and Aunt Pam along with some adorable clothes and a generous gift that is going right into your college fund!  The card they sent was simply perfect so I wanted to document it....

"Things You'll Soon Discover With Your New Baby Girl

That raising your own princess beats any fairy tale.
That a lot of great big people can be wrapped aroudn one tiny finger.
That a toothless smile can light up the world like instant sunshine.
That watching her sleep is (sometimes) more satisfying than finding sleep yourself.
And most of all...
That there's no greater joy than having a little girl to love!"

What true statements! I love you lots!
-Mommy

Hold On Tight!!!

This weekend Memere and GG were here and boy did I feel like you learned all kinds of new things!  Yesterday I was watching you on your play mat and you started grabbing on to the rings like you were an expert! I also realized you LOVE the color GREEN! You watch Baby Einsteins on DVD and every time something green comes on whether it is a dinosaur, grapes, or a ball you were smiling at it!

This weekend we named your little toy lion Luther.  I asked you a few different names and when I said Luther you smiled! So he is Luther the Lion!  Which is super funny cause that is Grandpa's name!

I will post some new pictures from this weekend soon!

Love you to pieces!

Sunday Funday

Today is a Sunday and boy it was soooo beautiful outside! I had to work and then go to a baby shower for a sorority sister, Marisa who is having a little boy in May. Daddy had to go up to the hunt club (you will find out about that when your a lil bigger).  So you spent the morning with Aunt C and Colton and the afternoon with Nana, Aunt Courtney, Chase, and Gage.  You all went for a walk and played! They said you smiled and cued all day! I just love hearing your little voice! 

I thought about you a lot today!  I can't believe how much you are growing, changing, and I feel like you will be a walking talking little girl before I know it!  I pray that this world is good to you and you good to it! Be a kind and giving person.  Always find ways to help the people around you without anticipation of something in return!! You will get very far in life if you just remember those words!

I love you!
- Mommy

Congrats for Daddy!

Today daddy took his certified residential appraiser state board for the third time and guess what....I passed!!! So this a good lesson for you to never give up when you really want and need to accomplish something important. There will always be speed bumps along the way but keep your eye on the prize and you can do anything. The best part of this day was when I walked threw the door and there you were holding a balloon for daddy!! I loved it! Thank you sweetie! Daddy Loves U!

Run Harper Run!

So today daddy strapped you into the running stroller and we went for your first run. It was a little chilly outside so I bundled you up in the brown suit Uncle Chris got you and off we went. I hope you had a good time. Daddy Loves U!

Got Daddy Wrapped Around My Finger Already!

No need to write anything...just watch the video!
Daddy Loves U!

Shots! Oh No!

Hey Sweetie...on Wedsnesday March 2nd you got your first set of shots and I thought you did an awesome job. You did scream for a minute but then you calmed down and were ok. On this day you weighed 12.7 lbs and you were 23 inches long. Your weight was in the 90th percentile, your length was in the 75th percentile and your head was in the 50th percentile. Doctor Kurd came in, checked you out and said you were a healthy baby; which we can all see that you chunkie munkie! Here is a pic of you right after the shot. Daddy Loves You!
