Well, our first week of daycare and work went great! Harper really seems to enjoy herself there, she eats and sleeps and plays well. And I've been busy at work so it keeps me from dwelling on her all day. We had her two month check up on Monday; she weighs 12 lbs 2.5 oz, and is 23 inches long, both in the 75th percentile. Her head size, which escapes me, was in the 50th percentile. She has great neck control, and everything else looks good. She also took all 5 shots like a champ! She cried some, but I think part of that was hungry cries...we agreed that we've heard her cry worse when her dinner was late!
We spent this past weekend in York for Great Grandpa Kant's 91st birthday. We had fun swimming at the pool; all the boys end up trying to outdo themselves on the diving board, and then the little girls try to mimick their older cousins, uncles and fathers. Harper hung out with Great Grandma in the shade, but I think she wanted in the water :) Then we had cake--delicious cake, reminiscent of our wedding cake--because its the same stuff made by the same person, and we will get to have it at virtually every family gathering on the Kant side...score!
My 30th birthday is slowly approaching next month. I've decided to celebrate in style...at the concert cove with Huey Lewis and the News! Some friends from work were going, and it falls on my birthday, so I took a few days off and decided to go. It'll be my first full night away from Harper, eek! Then the following Tuesday Erich and I are going to Omaha to see Dave Matthews, and spend the night again at the boats, while Grandma Cindy does an overnight gig...that's another eek! We'll see how I do.
My friend Amanda has her own cupcake shop--the best one in town! Last week she was featured in the Ground Zero--a supplement to the paper here in Lincoln which reviews movies, restaurants, etc. It was a great review with ridiculous results; she was virtually sold out all weekend long! Her shop had a line around the corner when she opened on Friday, and it sounds like the craziness didn't stop until she closed up on Sunday--she also sells at the Lincoln Farmers Market--sold out there too! So, she's getting busy, and has asked for reinforcements--so I'm going to try my hand at helping out. I'll be learning all her secrets, so then I can open my own shop and see "gourmet miniature cupcakes"...mwa ha ha!!! I know you'll read this at some point Braggs!
Enjoy some pictures from this weekend and earlier this month; I haven't had a ton of photo time with her since I've been back to work :(

I love that picture of Harper in the sink - she looks so scared! With babies, I've determined that all their crying and pooping and waking up multiple times in the night is worth it as long as we can take pictures of them doing crazy/silly stuff (that we have forced on them).
