Harper 3 & 4 Months

Time has slipped away from us again, but our baby girl keeps growing and learning new things every day. I wish time would just stand still. So that I could stop and enjoy these little moments with Harper that I know come and go so quickly. Her little personality is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Her smile is one that could light up any gloomy day. People are always commenting on how big and beautiful her smile is. All you have to do is talk to her and she lights up. She does have her moments of drama (like most girls), but nothing a good cuddle can't fix. Have I mentioned how much this little girl loves her dad?! She could stare (and smile) at him all day long. It melts my heart...

Here is little Harper at {3} Months

Height & Weight

We had Harper's {4} Month appointment this week. We are a little late considering she'll be 5 months on Halloween. But at 4 ( and a half) months she weighs 14.33 lbs. and is a whopping 26 inches long! She falls about right in the middle of the scale for her weight, but height she is in the 89th percentile. Baby girl still has a small head, just like her brother did. Her doctor said she is healthy and that makes us so happy. 

 She is currently wearing 3-6 months clothes, but man oh man those leggings are getting snug and most of her tops are getting two short. Also, because she is so long, most of her footie pajama's are getting to small. I am sure we'll be moving up to bigger sizes soon enough. We also moved her up to a size 2 in diapers. There is nothing more cute than her double chin and thigh rolls!! 

Health

I am happy to report that Little Harper has not been sick at all these last two months! I am hoping we can keep this trend going. Especially with the sick season ahead of us. It's hard when you have two kids. If one gets sick, usually bot of them get sick. 

Sleep

Harper sleeps pretty good, so I really can't complain in this department. She is ready for bed every night at 8:30pm, sometimes earlier. She lets us know! Then she'll usually wake up at about 3:00am to eat and goes right back down. Sometimes she'll wake up again at 7:00am, but once she is fed she is back down for a couple more hours. She has pretty much had the same schedule most of her little life. And she is a champ at putting herself to sleep at night. I'm hoping this will continue. She has been all over the place in her crib at night, so hopefully that won't start to wake her up.

Naps are a whole different story...They are really random everyday. Sometimes I can get her to nap the same time as Camden, and sometimes she just doesn't want to go down. I am hoping to work on her nap schedule this next month, but at the same time I like that she can just go with the flow of things and nap when she needs it. 

Eating

Harper has been packing on the lbs lately. I for sure thought she'd be heavier than 14 lbs. This girl loves her food and usually eats every two hours. She recently up'ed her ounces to six from four. I find this helps her not have to eat every two hours :) All this yummy milk has chunked her right up!

New things and Milestones

Harper is a talker...this girl will jabber your ear off if you let her! She has also mastered the skill of rolling from her tummy to her back in the last two months. At first it scared her, but she doesn't mind it now. She is currently trying to roll from her back to her tummy and has managed a couple of times, but usually gets her arm stuck. She scooches everywhere! If you set her down in one direction, she'll turn herself completely around. I think crawling will be happening before Christmas, She smiles ALL.THE.TIME. and she loves loves loves her hands! We have to pry them out of her mouth and we even have to put scratch mittens on them when she is going to bed at night because if she is able to put her fingers in her mouth, she won't go to bed. 

She is now grabbing everything in site, especially hair (ouch) She holds on to her toys and has had a few slobber fests with Sophie the Giraffe. Harper blows bubbles, and sometimes when she is hungry she clicks her tongue. 

Harper pays very close attention to whats going on around her. She watches Camden's every move and knows when mom or dad leave the room. She watches Camden play while sitting in her bumbo, which she loves!

Harper, you are such a beautiful baby girl and such a blessing in our lives. Everyday brings something new and exciting with you. We love you so much!
