Four months

I have been remiss in posting lately, but for good reason. I started work again on Sept. 2, which was difficult. We haven't gotten into any routine, yet, so every morning is a logistical nightmare. Every day, my goal is to get to work. If I can manage that, we're off to a good start.

But in other news... Harper is growing like a weed. She has almost outgrown the swing, which we hadn't really planned on. I know that sounds silly, but she only naps in one of three places: her swing, the carseat, or our arms. Well, she doesn't really like her carseat, and only sleeps there when she is realy sleepy. So now we have to start moving her to her crib, or the cosleeper. Not really looking forward to that. There may be some sleepless days ahead.

She still only rolls over one way, but Grandma Barbara has had a preview of what's to come. I think Harper likes to put on shows for her grandparents that we don't see. She's getting better about sitting up. We got her a silly chair that she can practice sitting in, and she seems to like it.

Harper seems more and more interested in food. She sits and watches intently while we eat. We tried banana a few weeks ago and she seemed to like it. But as she swallowed, she made a face. So we'll wait another week or so, and try some cereal, or something else.

Harper is learning early about presidential elections. She listens with great interest when mommy and daddy spout off about current events. While she has definite party affiliations, she hopes that regardless of which team you root for, that you will all go vote on November 4. Happy fall!!

The cutest

Ok, I know I'm biased, but don't we have the cutest kid in the whole world?

(Thanks to April and Hal for the adorable hat!!)
