4 Month update

Harper had her 4 month dr appointment today, and is doing great...even a little above average as far as her behavioral items go.  She was 14 lbs, 24 inches long, (the 75th and 50th percentiles, if you care about that jazz).  She has great eye control, can grab for and hold toys, and rolls over like it's nothing...she also does something we didn't notice until the dr pointed it out...she's trying to get on her knees when on her belly...the dr predicts that while most kids don't walk until 12-15 months, our babe will be walking by 9 months...scary! Let the babyproofing begin!  I also must comment on how well she did with the shots--she received 4 of them, two at a time in each leg, and while she did cry at the initial shots, she calmed down almost immediately upon being picked up.  She even hung in there for a trip to Best Buy and TJ Maxx!  She's definitely our kid.

We've had considerably nice weather for October, too bad we've yet to really take advantage of it.  We did take a family trip to the last Farmer's market of the season, and we attended LP's 2nd birthday bash, where Harper got her first tractor ride, she was very undecided about it, but I think deep down she liked it.  Like her mom, you can't judge our thoughts by our facial expressions :) 
Harper and her first date with LP

Harper has recently discovered her voice, and loves to screech and growl and blow raspberries.  She also loves her new exersaucer--thanks Auntie Heather!  She can now roll from her back to stomach, and back to her back...although she does get rather ticked when it doesn't happen immediately.  She watched Sesame Street for the first time today, and while she was rather disinterested for the most part, she did perk up when Elmo's World came on...she would laugh and smile, then look at me and smile...apparently Elmo is baby crack, who knew?? 

We're looking forward to a nice weekend of football--Go Huskers, some family time with Sister and her kids, and some quality time at the cupcake shop--come visit me anytime from 12-2! 

I leave you with some pictures of Harper, enjoy!

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which ...

8.18.10

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 t...
