Catching up

Miss Harper is 3 weeks old now and I'm finally getting around to catching up. As you can imagine, our hands have been full :) (Jenn, how do you do it with 4??)

We had a successful induction on April 5th. We sure hoped Harper would come before then and everyone (our OB included) thought she would based on how things were progressing but we went ahead with induction because I had to take my boards 4 short days after Harper was born. So....yeah.

She is such a beautiful baby and so very sweet. She has about 4 witching hours every evening when she just screams but I remember Rowen doing the same and those times pass and she'll be talking and riding a tricycle before we know it.

Here's our first family picture. I appear intoxicated. Oddly, I do not remember drinking.

Rowen thinks she's pretty cool.

He's decided we'll keep her.

Someone else is smitten with her, too.

Rowen's adjusting to sharing our attention, although we've certainly experienced more behavior problems in the past few weeks than ever before. All the big brother gifts are helping him cope :)

Lady even likes her.

Harper's first bath

First swing ride. This swing changed my life with Rowen. We bought it when he was already several weeks old and it was the first time I realized I could put him down.

First slumber party with big brother. He wanted her to sleep with him "all night" :)

First backyard exploration

A proud Grandpa!

Gigi and Pop Pop came, too!

G'mama visited next and we took a trip to the Botanical Garden.

In the midst of Harper being born and me taking boards, Rob celebrated his 31st birthday! It was a great week to celebrate his birthday with his family being in town and having a few days home from work. Happy birthday, Bobby!
