My precious girl

Bye Bye Daddy!

Daddy left today for a guy's trip...he will be gone until Sunday. I have mixed feelings about him being gone, of course we are going to miss him...it just helps a lot to look forward to him coming home at night to be with us and to help out with Harper. It's more important though that he can go and have fun with the guys, he needs that time just like I need that time with the girls! And of course I know Harper and I will be fine...Mommy will just be happy to have Daddy back on Sunday!! Here's to Harper and Mommy time for the next 4 days, yeah!

New Sleep Routine

So I really hope that the last week or so Harper had just hit a growth spurt and that is why she was waking twice a night to eat! Over the past couple of nights though she has made it until 6am or later so I am hoping things stay this way! Now that she is rolling over I decided it would be best to stop swaddling her...so now I have her in the Sleep Sack (gives her more freedom) and she is doing pretty well in that. She now sleeps on her stomach though, that is how I find her in the morning! I am also considering moving her bedtime up to 8pm instead of 8:30 since she tends to get fussy around 8 anyway...will probably play around with it and see what happens!

Harper's First Pool Playdate

Harper and I met up with other babies close to her age today for a pool play date...I was really excited to get her in the pool for the first time...she loved it! I started off by just holding her so she could get used to it and be close to me then another mama let us borrow a floatie and she was really loving that! Unfortunately there was some drama when one of the mamas had an allergic reaction to an ant bite and we had to get her to urgent care! We all pulled together though and we had 6 babies up her little apartment...us mamas stick together! :) I can't wait to take her to the pool again, minus the drama though! ;)

Visit with Aunt Kasey & Uncle Mike

Aunt Kasey and Uncle Mike were just here for a long weekend from CA...and we had a blast! Kasey was able to meet Harper for the first time and I think it was love at first sight, for both of them! She also had LOTS of smiles for her Uncle Mike too! We kept very busy...here is a quick recap....Hula Hut, breakfast tacos from Taco Deli (yum!), Emma Long Park on Lake Austin, Town Lake, bbq at the Salt Lick...and Kasey and Mike ventured off on their own a few times and went to South Congress and Kerby Lane! It was such a fun visit, we were all sad to see them go! We can't wait to see them again in August when we are in CA!!!!

Oh...I will get some pics up soon!!!

Today Harper is enjoying blowing spit bubbles with her mouth, checking herself out in the mirror and she rolled over in her crib while swaddled twice (from her back to her stomach!).

Rice Cereal is Yummy!

Pool Time!

We picked up this adorable baby pool at Academy last week so we could have something at the house to put her in during the summer...we were intending on getting a bigger kiddo pool but we thought this will be the perfect size for her since she will be so little this summer. Next summer we will graduate to the bigger pool! :) I can't wait for her to be able to sit up on her own, I can just see her slashing around in it now!!!

I guess she was ready to be out of her swaddle!!!

Sleep Tent

So I wanted to find something for Harper to hopefully sleep in while we are at the lake/park next weekend for the day. I have no idea how long she is going to make it but she will make it longer if she naps! Fortunately my friend C had tested this sleep tent out and her little one enjoys it so I figured I would give it a try. It's the KidCo PeaPod Plus Portable Children's Travel Bed (that's a mouthful!). It has a mattress that you slip under the tent and it has a sleeping bag that she can lay on top of in the tent. I keep saying tent because it totally reminds me of a tent...and if we ever went camping she could totally sleep in this! We are also hoping this will be her bed for awhile when we travel to Houston and to CA too!

Tummy-Time with Daddy!

Super Baby!!!

New Toy

One of my new mommy friends let me borrow this super cool tummy time mat for Harper and she really seems to like it! She is able to spin herself around by grabbing the mat, fun!

Harper is now sucking her thumb AND her toes...she just discovered she can put her toes in her mouth so she is having fun with that, silly girl...it's totally cute though!!!
