Hello! It’s Mommy again. I’m really going to try to be better about blogging now (at least for the summer), since I have more time. Harper is growing and changing so much with every single day. He still takes my breath away every time I look at his sweet angelic face. I get teary eyed just typing that…it’s mushy but true. He’s so healthy, he’s so beautiful, he’s so wonderful, and he’s ours! Thank you God, for this amazing little miracle you’ve given to us. I praise you for making me a mommy every single day—even when it’s 3am and he’s very restless!

I can’t get over how much he’s changed. He’s 4 months and 6 days old now and doubled his birth weight. He’s 5 3/4 inches longer, and just about bald! Haha! We wear lots of sweet little hats on that precious little head. He’s started eating baby food now (so far- rice cereal, green beans, squash, and a little applesauce). He’s a great eater and we enjoy feeding him. He’s a happy baby for the most part. He’s started smiling more and even giggles here and there. He doesn’t just pass out smiles or giggles any ol’ time…he saves them up for special occasions…just like Daddy said- He could win a staring contest anytime! He’s likes to sit up (with a little support), stand up (with a little more support), roll over from his belly to his back (not a big fan of “tummy time”), listen to music, read books, play with rattles, stick lots of things in his mouth, watch the “Backyardigans”, go to see the church ladies in Sunday School, look around at God’s creation outside, and so on! We try to keep him busy!

We are thinking of taking him to the pool soon. We’ve got him a couple of precious bathing suits, a little boat with a shade to sit in while in the pool, and so on…He absolutely LOVES his baths, so we hope he’ll enjoy the pool too!

He’s a good, sweet, cuddly, loveable little guy that’s just stolen our hearts!
