the “weekends”
go too fast around here. it doesn’t help that we don’t even get one, with Scot working a solid 6 days a week every week. friday he worked from 5am and didn’t get home until after 8, and saturday he did another 8am to 8:30pm. 
luckily, GG watched harper last night and most of today, so we were able to go out to dinner and sleep in today (thanks again GG!). we just spent the day together today, and went grocery shopping to get ready for the week ahead. scot wore harper in the front carrier, which was nice for them to get their daddy-daughter time in. i am so appreciative of what he is doing and sacrificing for us. i have an amazing man for a husband! i just wish we could all spend more time together, and that he didn’t have to work so hard.
harper and i went to the mall on saturday while scot was working. where else but the mall can you see a two year old in a stroller sipping on a viente frappacino – gross. poor kid. i did really like the lady that peeked into my stroller and exclaimed “oh she’s a juicy one. just like i like them.” it was awesome. per usual, people were in awe of her and how freaking cute she is. the ladies at the clinique counter were all about the H monster, and she loved the attention as always. i’ll leave you with a few pictures of a nap that harper took on friday, and woke up just as happy as can be. love that kid.

but i *think* we have a baby who sleeps through the night. squeeeeeeeeeee! the past 2 nights she has slept from 9:30pm to 8:30am, and last night i only had to get up ONCE at 4am to give her her binkie back. amazing. please keep it up munchkin. i’ll give you a dollar!
we’ve been laying pretty low this week. harper has really settled into her daily 10am nap on me, which i seriously love every minute of. she also has found that touching my face while she eats is fun, so she just pats my chin over and over while she snacks. so cute. only a few more days and she will be 6 months old. i cannot believe it. she can sit up all by herself and roll around like a mad woman.
what’s crazier than harper turning half a year old is all the hilarious things that have happened to me in those 6 months. i’ve made up more rediculous songs than i ever could have imagined possible (so glad we don’t have cameras in our house, i sound like a complete moron most of the day). i find myself swaying back and forth when i am alone (soothing harper, but she isn’t there). i make sounds when i push the stroller (vroom!), turn a corner (whoooosh!), pick her up (whee!) and give her a toy (boop buh doop!). i have half a head of hair (thanks pregnancy hormones), a weird looking belly, and use my fingers for a chew toy. good thing i’m not famous or anything, cause pictures of me without a bra and still in my jammies at 4pm would not be flattering on the cover of US weekly. i am a changed lady. and i love it.
harpers new favorite thing is saying hello and goodbye to the day. i started this a few weeks ago and i swear it is the highlight of her morning and evening. in the morning when i get her out of bed and lay her on her changing table, i say “do you want to say hello to the day?” and then i walk over and open the blinds. it looks like her face is going to burst open she gets so excited. same at night. we wave bye bye to the day and i close the blinds. i have no idea why she likes it so much, but there have been times when she is in a full on CRY and if i say anything about saying hello or bye to the day, she stops immediately and gets giddy. i love my job.
