Accomplishments!

Our little pumpkin will be 8 months in a week!! HOLY COW. She is getting so big. She has so many accomplishments! Here are just a few!

*Clapping-any time she hears people laughing or we say "Yay!", she claps!

*Waving-She waves hi and bye, and she even does in in the right direction..waving at others, not herself!

*Mimicking-She is mimicking noises like crazy!!! When we grunt, she grunts. When we squeal, she squeals. When we cough, she coughs!

*Sitting in the big girl bathtub all by herself to take her baths!

*Pulling up-She has pulled up in the bath tub, crib, coffe table and on her mommy, daddy and grammy!

She is getting more and more fun by the day. Next up, crawling and walking!

Getting warmer...

Well we are almost back to sleeping all night. Harper is waking up 2 out of 3 nights for only about 30 min. I change her, feed her a full bottle and she's back down within that time. So its not too bad. I know eventually she'll get back to sleeping all night..i just hope it's soon! :)

Here's some pics of our cutie!

1 step forward, 5 steps back?!?!

So my perfectly sweet angel of a child has slept all night (at least 8 hours) since she was about 8 or 9 weeks old. However, in the past month or so she has not done so. She wakes once or twice a night to eat. What?!? I thougth that it was supposed to be that way in the beginning and then get gradually better over time. Not my kid. Tonight she has officially been crying non-stop for an hour. Mom and I have been switching back and forth trying to calm her down. Its funny, she stops crying for Mom. Guess she's not as frustrated. I am thinking it is severe gas...she's been fluffing (Actually, its full out FARTS) while she's screaming and burped a smelly burp. Guess all that crazy solid food has caught up to her! If its not gas, its teething. However, my child has been "teething" for over 3 months, so who knows. Hopefully we can get her down soon. I'll keep you updated. Here's 2 pics to satisfy you. :)

Happy Halloween!

Here are some cute Halloween Pics of our little Strawberry!! We had a good time for our first Halloween. Although Harper couldn't trick or treat, she was quite the hit at the Church Festival.


Courtney, Taylor, Brayden, Skylar and Harper at the hospital on Halloween!


The cutest strawberry in the world.



Many people thought she was a lady bug until they really looked.

Cousin Brayden is here!

Harper's double cousin has made his way into the world! Brayden Hays Truesdale was born on Oct. 30. He was 5 lbs. 12 oz and 18 in. long! Harper loves him already and is obsessed with him as long as a toy or dog doesn't make its way in front of him. Enjoy the pics!
