Harper Two Months

I can't believe it's been 2 months since our little Harpie joined the family. It has been the fastest, slowest, best, and worst 2 months of our lives. Now looking back, we see why everybody says the time passes in the blink of an eye.

Since she was born, Harper has been very clear about letting us know exactly how she feels and what she needs. The stereotypical laid back first kid? Nope. Not here. If she wants to eat, has a poop, or just wants your attention you'd better do it now. Wonder where she gets that from ;)

It seems as though there have been more changes between month 1 & 2 than there from birth to the first month. She loves to make silly faces, nap on our chests, and wiggle around. We recent had to ditch the swaddle me wrap at night because she has become an expert swaddle ninja, escaping random body parts for us to find hanging out in the morning.  As of her 2 month birthday she loves to watch tv, specifically winter sports like hockey and snowboarding (you win, Justin) and Sofia the first. She loves tummy time and hanging out on her play mat. She also loves to read her books and has started smiling at us when we talk to her.

We have had so much fun watching her begin to change into the little lady she'll be some day. On days I'm frustrated or tired it's important to step back and soak up these sweet baby days because they won't last forever.

Harper's Nursery

The time has come to FINALLY share pictures of Harper's nursery! I had initially planned on posting these back in August but went into labor the night I took the pictures. Typical Harper deciding how things were going to go. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant I'd started dreaming of our baby's room, specifically of a little blue and pink mermaid nursery & the tiny baby that would sleep in it......Ten months later we have that nursery and a not so tiny little girl :)

We also gave my old dresser a face lift with a touch up and some new knobs. The shelves were still unfinished when the pictures were taken, however I plan on using them as a changing space with different books and decorations for each season. We love holidays here :) Still to be added to the nursery is a picture wall behind the recliner with some mermaid inspired glitter prints. Harper's room is such a happy place, we can't wait until she's a little bit older and can actually spend the night in it!

Until next time, xoxo.
