So Blessed!!!

We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, sweet, precious baby girl!! We took her to her physical therapist appointment and they did several exercises with her and assessed her. They said she looked spot on, except she's a little behind on being on her tummy and pushing up with her arms. So the doctor gave us some exercises to do with her at home. It's amazing how at this age they grow and change daily. In just this week she has sipped from her sippy cup, rolled completely over, she now is rolling all over the room, and she got her first tooth in! Yay! It's her bottom left tooth. She LOVES eating her solid food now; peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash, apples, and pears are her favorites. And of course I make everything myself and it's all organic. Nothing but the best for my baby girl. :)

Gosh, does the time FLY by...

These last two months have been amazing!! Harper is growing so much everyday reaching new milestones. She has the cutest personality, the sweetest heart, and she is just a bundle of joy!!!

In the month of January, she has learned to clap, she loves her solid foods, she grabs toys, and she is still trying to do so much more.

At her 6 month check up on Monday we found out she weighs 15.5 lbs and she's in the 49th percentile and she is 26 1/2 inches long and she is in the 78th percentile.
We were also told two concerning things. One concern the perdiatrician had was that her head circumference was on the small side. She said it could be because she just has a small head or that her brain wasn't developing. She said she wasn't that concerned though because her head is still growing which is a good thing. She just wanted to let me know so we can keep an eye out on it.

The second concern was that Harper is a little behind. She does roll over, but she gets stuck on her arm, she does sit up, but only with assistance, and on her stomach she hasn't quite figured out the whole pushing up with her arms thing. So Harper will start seeing a physical therapist next Thursday that will just work with her with different exercises and send home some exercises for us to do with her.

On a positive note... Harper has been AMAZING!!!!! She melts my heart everyday! We have had a lot of fun taking her to the park and pushing her on the swing. We enjoy walking to the park in the stroller, and we put Pasha down in the basket in the bottom. Harper has enjoyed spending quality time with her boyfriend, Cade, and her best friend, Avery.

Brian and I have been enjoying every second as a little family and also finding time to ourselves. We love our Saturday routine when we wake up with Harper, play together, then we take her to the gym, where Harper plays, and mommy and daddy work out.

That's about all we have had going on in our lives, but we have a lot to look forward to in the next month. We are going to Austin for a wedding and we are taking Harper, then we have a wedding in NYC, and HArper will be staying with my Aunt, then we have Gigi's 60th birthday party at our house, then the following weekend we are going skiing with our next door neighbors and Harper in Utah.

I'll update pictures soon, and update after all of the fun festivities soon! Keep Harper in your prayers that her head is small and that she is growing at the right pace. :)

So much going on and so little time...

Oh my goodness being back to work has really taken a lot of time. Monday through Friday my day goes like this... I wake up at 4:30am to go work out, come back home to get ready, go to work, leave work right at 3:30, pick up Harper, get home and play with her, make dinner, bathe her, feed her, put her to bed, spend time with my hubby, then off to sleep until the next day.
Soooo... I'm trying to find some time to blog.

I can't believe Harper is 4 months old, time really is flying by! She is getting so big. She is teething, rolling form side to side, and starting to sit up more and more.

Her first Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had my in laws, and my Aunt's family, with my brother and sister in town. We had an AWESOME time! We went every evening and to the movies at the end of the street. We ran in the five mile run on Thanksgiving morning. I was so happy to get under 45 minutes, barely! We played flag football with our neighbors (my team lost,) and we of course went black Friday shopping!


Now that I'm back at work, I try to enjoy the little things with Harper. Today I took some pictures of Harper in her little Santa outfit that Nicole gave her.

We are so looking forward to Harper's first Christmas and spending the holidays with the family!

Here are just a couple of pics from the last month!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Harper's first Halloween!

So many fun Halloween festivities....

It started last Wednesday with Halloween LRC at Jenn's house! I was a mini witch... because I'll be Harper's twin on actual Halloween. It was a fun time, but I once again was not a winner.


Brian and I had a Halloween party that we attended last Friday. Halloween parties are always so fun. You don't recognize your friends because they are in costumes and the new people you meet you won't remember them because you only recognize them by their costume. We went as Harry Potter. Strange enough some people at the party didn't know who we were. Sweet Harper stayed the night at Gigi's house so mommy and daddy could have a night out. :)

Then on actual Halloween we went trick or treating to some of our neighbor's houses.

3 months old today!!!!!

I can not believe Harper is 3 months old today! WOW... TIME really does fly by!!!! This has been the best three months of my life! Harper is just so sweet and precious and smiling and cooing all of the time. She already has a little personality and it is adorable. Brian couldn't be a better dad. He is so hands on and always wants to be with her. And not to mention he has the secret touch to make her stop crying, burp, and to make her smile! God has surely blessed me with a great family!

I'm soooo sad that my maternity leave is over next week. I've been off since June. Eek!!! It's going to be an emotional day on November 7th. :(

Here are some pics I took today:

Breast Cancer Luncheon and Light the Night walk for Leukemia and Lymphoma

Two weeks ago I attended the In the Pink luncheon for breast cancer. It was so amazing to see all of these ladies dressed in pink. The Waterway Marriott couldn't have been any prettier. It looked like a very nice formal wedding with beautiful flowers, delicious food, and amazing desserts. Also the silent auction had some of the most amazing things being auctioned off. Unfortunately, I didn't win anything! I went with my bunco gal pals, and we had a great time drinking mimosas and trying to be the highest bidding winner.



Last night was the Light the Night walk for Leukemia and Lymphoma. My neighbor, Billy's mom, was diagnosed with Leukemia and is an amazing strong survivor. So Brian, Harper, and I went to support her and her family. Unfortunately, we had to leave a little early because it was Harper's bedtime.


With the Zarco family

So tired....
