5 months

So here's to what I can remember from Harper's 5th month...

Loves looking in the mirror after bathtime



still has the smallest feet 


they are the same size as baby Jackson's who is 4 weeks old


I just love those crooked toes



beautiful eyes




First taste of cereal....didn't quite know what to do with it



Auburn Georgia game



slept the first 3 quarters


the last quarter was a little too exciting for the person holding her


thank goodness for ear plugs



she was very proud of her rolling over ability


so much that she constantly rolled over anytime you put her on her back


then of course she cried when she found herself on her tummy  


which made us do the flip flop thing over and over at bedtime


finally realized, duh, just roll up a blacket so she can't roll 


boy I wish we'd figured that out earlier



really started grabbing at toys and actually playing with them




 Random laundry counting: 


23 burp clothes and 21 bibs used in 1 week...


they say 4 months is the "peak" of reflux...




 laying on Ryan's chest seems to be the best way to get her to stop crying


of course he must be standing up while holding her



started this straightening of the left leg thing... 


when she is laying on the changing table or swing she loves to straighten her leg right up in the air


yes, she usually points her toes



tried the exersaucer for the first time



very good and pinching and pulling hair




prefers a paci but loves her left thumb




getting pretty good at pitching a fit


but we still thinks she's cute

Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family.  Of course Harper didn't really know what to do, but she has enjoyed playing with all her new toys and reading all her new books.  


Maggie helped open all her presents.  


We were surprised to wake up to a White Christmas.  This is the first one for us and Harper.  



Harper and Nonnie

Harper and Nanny 

Christmas Day we braved the roads and headed up to Hartselle for Christmas with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Now they had a real White Christmas with a few inches of snow on the ground.

 Harper and Jonathan


 All the great grandchildren

 The next day we woke up to even more snow on the ground.  Thank goodness it started melting and we could travel down to see these cute faces...

Gifted...

Yep, she's a reader...





Harper loves to read books before bed.  Who needs that infomercial My Baby Can Read stuff when you have Eric Carle books...
