I love this picture- it so perfectly shows how Hunter loves to do anything Rich is doing.

Harper is 2 months old!

The little hand on her head belongs to Hunter. As I took the picture, he reached out, touched her head, and said, “I just have to feel how soft her hair is.”

Here are some of the things Harper does at 2 months old:

She is a super happy and smiley baby!  Sometimes I think she is even doing a little laugh.

Harper loves to talk to us and coo.  Her little voice is just the sweetest.

She can roll from front to back.

Harper is still a great sleeper.  She doesn’t sleep great during the day, although occasionally she takes some great naps.  But, she is wonderful sleeper at night.  She’s usually ready for bed around 7:30 and  I wrap her up in her swaddle blanket and lay her down in her crib.  She makes a few noises and then goes to sleep.  Then she sleeps anywhere from 6-10 hours before waking up to eat.

Harper is still breastfeeding and eats anywhere between 2-3 hours during the day.  I have had to cut dairy, wheat, and soy out of my diet as we try to figure out a possible allergy she might have.  It has been a very hard adjustment, but she’s worth it.

Harper weighs 12 lbs, 4 oz and is 23 inches long.  Some of her 0-3 month clothes are starting to get a little tight, but I am not ready to put them away yet.  She is still wearing size 2 diapers.

I can not believe that Hailey is already 8 years old.  It makes me so sad when I think about how fast these last 8 years have gone by because I know the next 8 will be even faster.  Anyway, here are some pictures from Hailey’s 8th birthday party.

When Hailey got up on her birthday she picked one present to open.

We went out to dinner at the Olive Garden to celebrate her birthday.

Hailey and her new American Girl doll, Isabelle.

Hailey is now 4 feet, 3 1/2 inches tall!  When did she get so big?  It seems like she is almost as tall as me.

Hailey is in 3rd grade and doing great.  We are in our 2nd year of homeschooling and it is going very well.  Hailey is a very hard worker and a fast learner and does very well in school.

Hailey is a wonderful big sister.  She plays so well with Hunter- of course they have their moments, but they usually play very well together.  She is fantastic with Harper and is such a big helper to me.

I sure do love my little miss
