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 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!

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

5.20.14

It feels like so much has happened since my last post.  We survived going back to work and daycare, although I am fairly certain at least one of us has been sick with a cold, flu or both every day since then. Glad to see this warm weather, and hope it will sweep these germs away! We had Booker's baptism the weekend before I returned to work.  It was nice to see all the family together, and kind of relax before having to return to the real world.  Booker did pretty good during the ceremony; I was nervous and it was hot...bad combination in my tan dress lol.  Erich was nice enough to point out how "hot" I looked.  Made me think of our wedding ceremony, and how I felt the same way. We had a nice Easter weekend.  We dyed egg with my family and had a mini egg hunt with Harper and her cousins.  Then on Sunday the Easter Bunny came! He was so silly, he hid all the eggs we dyed in the living room.  Harper was very concerned ...
