Standing Pretty

Oh Harlow it seems like just yesterday I watched you swim into your daddy's arms and now here we are at 11 months with your first birthday only a couple of weeks away.

I took Paige and Aiden to a Summer Camp session today so I could catch up on some laundry and cleaning around the house but before all of that not so fun stuff I enjoyed some 1-on-1 time just hanging with Harlow.

Harlow just started standing a week ago but the past few days she has been perfecting her newfound skill by standing all the time. I know it won't be long before she starts walking along the furniture and then running around the house.

I took some pictures of Harlow today just before I woke her from her nap to get Paige and Aiden at Summer Camp and then some of her standing pretty at the couch.

I also never shared her 10 month pictures on Lulu (see below after today's pictures) and of course in a day or two will have her 11 month pictures to share with you all as well. Oh how quickly the first year goes.

I guess since I woke up sleeping beauty early from her nap today when we had to get Paige and Aiden she was tired and fell asleep in her highchair just after finishing her cookies after I fed her dinner

Harlow and the Half-Year Mark

Happy 6 months Harlow!

I can't believe half of a year has already passed us by; I really wish time would just slow down so I could enjoy Harlow as a baby a little longer. It sure has been fun watching her grow and I cherish seeing her accomplish each milestone.

Harlow had her 6 month pediatrician appointment last Friday on 2/19, she was 15.2 lbs. (25%) and 26.5" (90%) long, such a lucky girl being skinny and tall.

Daddy fed Harlow her pea's for her first food this past Saturday on 2/20, she only took a few spoonfuls but now every morning she has a nice serving before being done. I planned on starting a new food with her tomorrow.

Harlow has also begun to scootch her way around, she usually goes backwards and with some good arm moves can usually rotate herself around quite a bit. Harlow hasn't begun to sit unsupported yet but she showed me her good balance during this 6 month photo session when I sat her in front of Lulu for the pictures. Harlow loves to razzle and of course with that comes some baby drool. Her favorite toy right now is her teething toothbrush and of course she loves to suck on her thumb.

It's so hard to choose pictures of Harlow, I tell ya I always think I found my 'favorite' but then I fall in love with the next picture just as much. I want to get a new Gina Alexander purse but how will I ever be able to choose the pictures for it?

These were taken last night, we play in her room every night while Paige and Aiden get ready for bed.

Sweet Harlow Evelyn ...5 months old

Our sweet baby Harlow is already 5 months old, it was sure was an exciting month of 'firsts'. Harlow cut her first two teeth (first little tooth on 1/21 and her second tooth just a week after), had her first feeding of Rice Cereal with daddy on 1/12, transitioned to her new room and crib and found...or say I started to chew on her feet.

Harlow is such a mover, she enjoys her tummy time with toys and prefers sitting in her bouncer to her swing on most days. I bought her a couple of new tether toys that vibrate when you chew on them, they have quickly become her favorites.

Happy 5 months Harlow
