Lots of new things!

I want to crawl!

Harper continues to grow, grow, grow! She is so lively and animated and has the cutest personality! She's starting to "play" with her other baby friends, reaching out to touch their faces and babbling back and forth & snatching toys from each other. It is VERY cute! She is completely sitting up on her own now and is kicking her legs when she is on her tummy, in an attempt to scoot forward. It won't be long until she is crawling around everywhere! She is generally content, rarely fussy, and is just an absolute Joie! She finally got the "nap thing" and takes 2 a day in her crib. She's still sleeping about 12 hours straight through at night too. Harper was doing great on solids, eating like a champ, until she got a little "backed up". We tried to feed her apple juice & prunes to help, but she didn't want to touch them. Could it be possible that MY daughter doesn't have a sweet tooth!? Absurd! So, she's been off solids for over a week now--won't even touch her favorites at this point. But, we're not pushing it, just letting her play with the food and figure it out. She's not "mouthy" yet... the only thing she puts in her mouth is her finger.

We head back to her doctor's next week for her next vaccination. We're still catching up on her 4 month shots, one at a time, to figure out which one gave her such a bad reaction at 2 months. We're fine with spreading them out, which is what we originally wanted to do.

We have lots of visitors this month! Grandpa gets in on Saturday for 5 days and then Memere visits for a week at the end of April. Grandpa has not met Harper yet, so we're pretty excited for his visit! And Memere hasn't seen Harper in over three months, so we can't wait for her to see how much she has changed. And then, Grandma & Crow visit in early May on their way back from Tahoe. After that, Harper and I venture back to Massachusetts for a full MONTH! Tom will join us for a week and a half in the middle of the trip, but he's sure going to miss his little baby girl!
