my harper girl is

7 months and 3 weeks old
crawling
pulling herself up on the couch, chairs, anything else she can grab
sleeping through the night (mostly)
eating A LOT
so smiley
just like her brother






In less than 8 months, Harper has taught me so much.  In the beginning, she really tested me.  She was demanding and difficult to understand.  She taught me humility and patience.  I also learned how to multitask and prioritize.  She helped me to fix my eyes on what matters most to me.  The first three months of Harper's life we're the hardest three months of my life as I learned to balance the responsibilities of being a mother to two children.  Harper has grown so much.  She is such a sweet sweet child.  I used to only get pictures of her crying, but now she's all smiles with her tongue sticking out on most occasions.  She loves her brother, she's fearless when it comes to our dog Nelly.  She explores and climbs.  She giggles and squeals.  She talks to us, and sounds very similar to Peyton.  I adore her and Peyton.  And I absolutely love that I get to spend my entire summer with them both- everyday.
