A Few Of My Favorite Pictures

3 Months Old

This picture was taken on July 13th. She is growing so fast! A few of her three month highlights are: She loves her hands! She keeps them in her mouth all the time. She loves sticking her tongue out and blowing bubbles and the most important milestone is that she sleeps ALL NIGHT!!! I put her down around 8:00 p.m. and she usually wakes up around 7:00 a.m. It is such a blessing because I am starting back to work on August 5th, and I am going to need my sleep! She is such a blessing and I cherish everyday with her!!!

My Poor Baby

Last week (06-21/06-23) Harper was admitted to The Childrens Hospital. As many of you know, she has horrible acid reflux. On Monday, she was very fussy and refused to take her bottles. I kept thinking she is eventually going to get hungry and eat. Well she never did. Monday night I called after hours and the nurse told us to go ahead and go to Childrens. They tried to get her to take a bottle again and she refused it. They took xrays of her stomach, which came back normal. After the doctor came in and did his assessment, he said that she was dehydrated and she needed to have blood work drawn and an IV started. She was so dehydrated that she did not have any good veins. It took the nurses 7 times to finally get it started. She started taking her bottle on Tuesday and we got to go home on Wednesday. The doctors said that she had esophagitis and started her on a new medicine to coat her esophagus. She is feeling much better now and we are just hoping she grows out of this soon!

Harper's First Beach Trip

This past weekend was Harper's first trip to Panama City Beach. She did great! We only had to stop once one the way down there and on the way back. She slept the whole way! It was too hot to carry her to the beach during the day, so we carried her in the evening when it was cooler. She did not mind the sand but she loved putting her feet in the water. She even slept thru the night on Saturday! I had so much fun with her!

2 Month Check Up

Today was Harper's 2 month check up. She is getting so big! I can not believe that she is already 2 months old. I now understand what they mean when they say they grow up so fast! She weighs 11lbs and 9 oz and is 24 inches long. She is in the 75% in weight and the 90% in height. She still is having trouble lying flat so she sleeps in the car seat or the swing! Every time we put her flat she spits up everything. We have tried elevating the crib, but to get the mattress high enough, she ends up at the bottom. She is sleeping about 5 hours straight during the night and usually only wakes up once to eat. Since starting the soy formula she has not had any more colic spells! She is such a happy baby now!

A little upset after her shots!

Sitting in the Bumbo

I put Harper in her Bumbo for the first time. She is getting better at holding her head up by herself. She almost has the hang of it!
