6 month photo celebration!

Working on sitting up like a big girl

It's very difficult to eat cereal when there is a ceilng fan nearby to gaze at

My mama makes me work too hard, I'm pooped!

Caught Harper mid-action! I turned on the camera, turned around and here

she is rolling over all by herself - sneaky girl!

Mama's favorite picture!

6 months came in with a bang! Harper is rolling over from tummy to back - Yea!

She is eating rice cereal like a champ and starting next week its on to explore the wonderful

world of veggies! She will give you a full belly laugh if you tickle her in just the right spot

or gets bounced on your knees! She is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to

us and we are so lucky to know & love the lovely & talented Miss Harper Grace :)

Pool day!

Last Thursday we had a fun pool day with Sarah, Gwyn & Pollyanna.

Harper & her dad joined us later in the afternoon for a swim - have to

love summertime!

Up to Minnesota!

Last weekend we headed up to Minnesota to visit family.

Our first night was spent in Fairmont with the Stougaards

and Saturday & Sunday was up in Eden Prarie with the

Gorder clan - so much fun to see everyone & catch up!

What a week!

We took Harper to the ER Tuesday night &

after many hours & tests found out that she

had an intussusception - basically her intestines

had collapsed upon themselves. She had surgery

at 6 am on Wednesday morning and recovered

at Children's Hospital until Friday evening...

She's doing quite well this week and seems to be

healing quickly! Dr. Azarow & the entire staff at

Children's were wonderful to us. Thanks to all of

Harper's family & friends for the visits, calls,

well wishes & prayers. They mean so much to us :)

We've been busy!

Harper has found her thumb!

We had a big weekend! Saturday, Mike took Harper for her first dip in

the Brown Family swimming pool - think it was a bit chilly for her this

time, but I'm sure we have warmer days ahead...

Love those toes...

Such big blue eyes!

Here's Harper - so strong, she can hold her head up for quite a long time now!

Very exciting - Happy Father's Day Mike!
