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!

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

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 ...
