Oh Do I miss you!

Can I just say that I miss you all so much.  I just signed on to my blog for the first time in what has been months and started going through your happenings! I have missed so much!! I really wish that I could catch up on all of it but I know that I can't, please, comment and tell me your biggest news! I would love to know.

In short since Thanksgiving:

- we are getting ready to fly accross the country to Washington State to introduce Miss Harper to Jacobs side of the family for the first time, did I mention that we are leaving this friday???

Harper:

Harper's 3 Months

Harper Bug - She was a bug on a flower :)

Weight: 

My big girl is 11 pounds now :) Ah, I can't believe it! 

Height: 

22 1/2 inches long!

Clothing Size: 

Well she has finally started fitting into her 3 month clothes and out growing her gerber 0-3 months clothes.  Her 3 month pants are still a little too big on and she's still fitting perfectly in her newborn pants.  She's just skinny :)  

Diapers:

Still kicking in her size 1's :) 

Feeding: 

We have finished our formula transition! She is doing wonderful on it and I have to say since the transition her pooping has been much more regular and her tummy is much happier :) She eats around 8 each morning, then 12 -1, 4p.m., and then 8p.m.  She averages 5 ounces each feeding but she's slowly eating more, some times up to 8 ounces! 

Hair/Eyes: 

Her hair is looking more and more strawberry blonde by the day and her eyes are mostly blue with a hint of green and yellow in them like mommy's!

Sleep:

 she sleeps wonderfully still! And always in bed or cuddled with mommy by 10:30

Little miss has been fighting sleep lately though, we have been snuggling her up and cuddling to calm her and when she's calm and relaxed or already asleep it's into the crib she goes.

Favorites:

She always wants to be sitting up and looking at everything.  her favorite fascinations lately have been her crunchy dog toy and her car keys.  She holds on to her keys and and shakes them until they get thrown across the room.

-Smiling!

Fun stuff:

 Talking! She is such a talker and noise maker and always has something to say!

She is holding her toys now too!

Mamma's Pumpkin

She wasn't super thrilled when we started, but we put towels on the inside of the pumpkin to help keep her warm and comfy.

Then it wasn't so bad :)

Yumm!

We may or may not have had to cut her out of the pumpkin when we were done, ha.  She was ready to be done and wouldn't let us pull her out safely so we had to perform an emergency surgery on poor mr. pumpkin to get Harper out.  She'll love hearing about that later on in life.
