5 months and growing ...

Harper just turned 5 months old and she is changing so much! She absolutely LOVES to jump in her jumper and stand up (with help) any chance she can get. She can sit up by herself a little bit now but doesn't like to stay still long enough to stay that way. She is one active gal and is so curious about her surroundings. She loves her puppy dog, Sadie, and gets the biggest smile and giggles when she sees her from across the room.

We have adopted a much easier to manage schedule (I hope this doesn't jinx me!) where she is eating every 3-1/2 to 4 hours during the day and 4-5 hours at night. This makes momma really happy :)

She weighed an even 18 pounds when I weighed her last week and will probably be over 19 at her 6-month check up next month. I am pretty sure she is teething and I can begin to feel a tooth bud underneath her gum. I am just ready for it to cut so she isn't so grouchy!

We leave this weekend for Virginia and are excited to begin this new journey together. It is about time that Zach gets to really bond and grow a special relationship with Harp!!
