Harper turned 4 months old while we were at the beach! I just can't believe it- the time has really flown. She had her 4 month check-up yesterday at the doctor. She was 14 pounds, 7 ounces (75th percentile) and 25 3/4 inches long (95th percentile). She got her shots and did really well! So did Mommy - she didn't even cry. :) She also found out that she can make a new noise - we say it sounds like a velociraptor (sp?). It is so stinkin' funny! She loves to suck on her fingers (her index fingers to be exact), she loves to play with her feet, and she is so smiley, especially when she is waking up. She hides her face in my shoulder whenever she is smiling at her daddy. So sweet! She really is just a happy baby and Justin and I are so blessed. I am blessed to have both of them. I was watching him hold her last night and he would close his eyes and hug her. I love him.
Look what I caught!
She scooted herself to the end of her activity mat and started sucking on one of the bars. Mom, Blair, and I thought it was hilarious! She scoots herself everywhere - on her back of course. We left her for a few minutes the other day and came back to find her bottom half underneath the couch!
This occupied the cousins for all of 1 minute. Hayden is officially heavier AND longer than Harper!
And finally, some sad news. I had to tell my 20's goodbye yesterday. Please pray for me as I try to get through this difficult time. :) As my dad says, "It beats the alternative!" I feel extremely blessed to be where I am and wouldn't have it any other way, even if I can't be 20-something anymore. I don't feel 30...
Justin got me my digital SLR. I am so stinkin' excited, I can't sit still! Look out National Geographic, here I come...

Yes, time flies, (whether you're having fun or not), especially when it comes to our babies, Hayley Beth. How can you be twenty-through already? Seems only a short time ago, we were marveling at you turning over and you making the cutest sounds and you doing all the sweetest and most delightful things that made our hearts ache with joy and pride, and now here we are, feeling exactly the same about our beautiful, perfect grandchildren. Every time we turned around, you and Blairdy were reaching another milestone and causing us great happiness and pain at the same time, happiness in your accomplishments and striving toward independence, pain in knowing that you were growing up and beyond mommy and daddy. Happy Birthday, dahling. You look mahvelous! I love you forever. Momma
OMG! Seriously Becky...you made me cry. That was really sweet! :)
Well, my dear Hayley, you will always be 29 to me! Happy Birthday!
I love you and miss you terribly.
Harper and Hayden are so beautiful. I am excited that they are so close in age. They will have so much fun togther. Their lives with be filled with adventure.
They remind me of Chuck and I. I have the best memories with my cousin and best friend.
Anyhoo, love you. Big Baker hugs to you!
