why is it that a baby’s face can turn as red as a beet and grunt just to push out poo the consistency of peanut butter?
(i’m not kidding, she looks like a german in the strongest man competition pulling a truck with his teeth or something).

we have chubbiness. Harper downed 8 ounces before
bed for the past 2
nights and slept for a glorious
8.5 hours each time. new record for ounces consumed AND hours slept. LOVE IT. there is not a whole lot better than baby arms that look like they have rubberbands on them and waking up for the first time and it being 6am instead of 2. cross your fingers (and toes and arms and legs) for us that we’ve hit a milestone. our little lady will be 4 months old this saturday (whaaaaaat?!) and her 4 month check up is on Monday. any guesses on her weight and height? for reference, at her 2 month she weighed 10lb 11oz and was 22 inches tall.
sunday was gg’s birthday so we went out for dinner, not before Harper gave her a special birthday gift (what, spit up isn’t a kosher bday present?). sorry again mom! i always appreciated my mom, but having my own baby has really given me a greater understand
ing and appreciation of what my mama went through with me. i am so lucky to have such a wonderful lady for a mom. i love you mama!
this weekend Scot and i did something we never do – made a big ticket purchase. we bought a new flat screen tv. um, it’s amazing. it’s shiny, pretty and i can now successfully see anne curry’s pores each morning. glorious. and we haven’t had one ounce of buyers remorse, probably because we’re too busy saying things to each other like “omg, you can see oprah’s fly aways!”. my only concern is come fall….football. *shudder* he’s already drooling over the espn HD channels. ugh.
other than that, i’ve been busy planning my very best friends baby shower! baby B will be here in 9 weeks (give or take!) and i simply cannot wait to meet this quarter-asian little lady. i almost peed when the invites came, they turned out so cute. i’m making everything else for the shower and am very pleased with how they are turning out. i love you Em!

Auntie Kristin came and gave us a bunch of AWESOME stuff! Here’s Harper in her new rainforest bouncer. it kinda swallows her, and her toes don’t quite touch the ground yet…but does it look like she cares?
happy valentines day! squeezes for my new valentine.
another gift from Auntie Kristin – a Bumbo! the nugget just loves it. and the tray is great, she is starting to reach for toys when i set them on it.
meet our new kitty, Charkey. she’s adjusting to life inside after being a country kitty at Scot’s parents house for her whole kitty life! her favorite things are Harper and our bed.
