Happy 6 Month Birthday, Harper!

I can't believe we have had Harper for half a year now! The time has flown. She is changing so much and so fast - she is so much fun! I am pretty sure that she will be crawling within a week. I think that we are going to have to baby-proof the new house asap. :) She discovered something new to do with her voice - she likes to scream! I also am pretty sure that we are going to start trying baby food in the next week or so - Dr. Mercer told me I could practice with cereal before this next checkup (next Monday), but that hasn't happened yet... I think I've been postponing it.

Less than 1 day old. She has changed so much in 6 short months...

I can't wait to take a bath in here!

Our New House

I think we are finally closing this week, and we will get to move this weekend, thank you Jesus! I am so tired of sandwiches :)

Happy Halloween

Who spends almost $40 on a halloween costume for their baby who will only wear it twice and not trick or treat? This mom did! Couldn't help myself...

Don't think she liked the thing around her face...

She was so funny and so adorable :) if I do say so myself!

(Insert mean face here)

I am feeling a little resentful toward those people who have time to update their blogs. Harper had her 5 month birthday, she is on all fours and rocking, she is close to crawling, she is so close to sitting up on her own, she went to her first wedding (and looked beautiful!), she has worn an adorable Halloween costume, been to the zoo for the first time, and she will be 6 months old this Saturday, and I haven't documented any of it! One of these days, maybe. We are moving soon, but I don't know when we are closing. Take your time, bank people, please. I have all the time in the world. I love living among boxes. I love having my kitchen packed up so that all we can eat is sandwiches. Or out. So yes, I will post pictures. Sometime. Just something funny - whenever Harper is getting upset and wants to be picked up, she looks right into my eyes and makes such a pitiful face. It works everytime, I tell ya.

It is dark when I leave my house in the morning. It is dark when I get home. (Insert sad face here) Have I mentioned that I am so tired?

And I don't want to get political, but I am very stressed out about this election. God is in control, I have to remember that!

5 pounds, really?!

Thought I was doing pretty good, you know? I mean, weight-wise, I am pretty hard on myself, but being that I had a baby almost 5 months ago, I feel like I look alright! Well, this morning at work, I made a comment to a couple of people that I work with that I could stand to lose a few inches. (They were talking about how yoga helped them) One guy said, "you don't have any to lose! In fact, you could probably gain 10 or 15 pounds." Then the guy whose desk is next to mine looked me up and down, and then said, "Honestly, I'd say you could lose about 5 pounds." No joke. He wasn't being mean, and I think it was kind of funny. But it's one thing to think these things about yourself. And another to have someone tell you to your face! For the record, I've lost all of my pregnancy weight!

Happy Birthday, Gigi!

I love you, Momma, but somehow all of the pictures of are the babies....:) Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Harper and sweet Michael

Look at the smile on Hayden's face!
