One Month...my how time flys!

Last night Matt & I went on our first date night since Harper was born...just a mini date- dinner and a short hike while Wawa stayed home with our little sweet pea! It seemed appropriate considering that one month ago we spent our last evening as a family of two! It is hard to believe it has been a month since we welcomed our little girl to the world...but then again, it is already difficult to remember a life without her! 

What ever did we do with our time?!!

Today Harper had her one month check up.  She weighs 9lb 2oz and is in the 50th percentile for height and 60th percentile for weight.

 

What's new with our little one?

Harper started sleeping in her bassinet instead of the MamaRoo (though she still adores her Roo...BEST INVENTION EVER!!) She is sleeping really well... sometimes going 4 hours between feedings at night and will typically goes right back to sleep after her bottle.

Things she LOVES this month:

Harper's latest and greatest love...her activity mat (thank's Aunt Krug)! She loves looking up at the birds and owls nearly as much as she loves looking up at the ceiling fan...maybe more because she can actually reach out and touch her stuffed friends! Her face was priceless the first time she realized she could actually touch them! During the time she lays and looks at the ceiling fan I believe she is trying to figure out how to get up there and touch that too! 

Tummy time love!  We decided to try out tummy time on her activity mat and it turned out to be a serious success! She can turn her head from left to right (with some serious grunting and hard work) and it turns out being on her tummy gets rid of hiccups (something she has had frequently for the past 10 months...and doesn't really seem to mind)! 

Also on Harper's LOVE list...car rides and bath time! She loves car rides...until we have to stop the car---then it's all over. She wants more she wants more!! Come on, it's only fun to be in a car when it's moving and we're grooving to good tunes!

Last but certainly not least...bath time! I predict our little girl is going to dream of being a mermaid one day!  She LOVES her bath! The second the water starts, her eyes pop open and she waits for the glorious moment where the water level is up high enough to touch her bum! Getting out of the bath is another story!

 

Baby's best friend: 

Ok, not quite, but in the  past few days, Maddie has started being a little more accepting of the newest addition to our family.  She was not thrilled at first (she has been our baby for 7 years after all)! I think she finally has caught on to the fact that Harper is here to stay!

Until next time!
