60 Month Update



Time is flying by. Can you believe our baby is already 7 1/2 months? Weighing in at a hefty 18 pounds, she sure will be able to give the Michelin Man a run for his money with all the baby rolls she has on her legs and arms. I love to put a pair of tights on her, just to see the indents of her very squishy, lovable legs. It might be the cutest thing I ever did see!

Harper loves to eat and when she does eat she makes the funniest grunting noises. A noise so loud that it would startle someone seated close by. She also thinks she is hysterical when she blows raspberries while just devouring a huge spoonful of green beans, thus covering you with a lot of green goodness. When you show her her bottle she starts to do the shakes and gets all excited. Letting you know that this girl is ready for lunch! Though she is not a fan of all fruits and veggies, check out the eating peas video below. (Ummm yeah, not a fan.)

She still has no interest to crawl. When placed on her belly she rolls right over to her back. And like a beached whale (no pun intended) she cannot seem to work her way back over to her belly. Every once in awhile she will do the backward crawl and push with her feet while on her back, but that is about the extent of her movement. She is a great sitter and loves to show off and smile while in a seated position. She is proud that she can sit up all by herself and will let you know by showing the biggest smile a little baby could give. You just want to eat her up, she is so cute!

Owen had a big morning today. He learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. It was a long time a coming but we finally got there. This morning I totally bribed him with any treat he wanted he could have, if he could stay on his bike and peddle across the park by our house. And he did it! We were proud parents today! He will have a great summer now, being able to cruise around on two wheels!

We just got back from our first family vacation of 4 to sunny San Diego. We had an amazing time and saw everything the area had to offer. We ventured to SeaWorld, Legoland, U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier, Coronado Island, Old Town, downtown, Del Mar and La Jolla. We spent some days at the beaches and soaked up the sun. It was so much fun and relaxing too! A successful trip!

I can do it!


No peas please
