Harper is 9 months old!

Holy cow this girl is growing up fast!

She weighs 16lbs and some oz.24th percentile and I forgot the length, but I know it’s in the 90th percentile. Her head is in the 50th percentile.

She is crawling like crazy and pulling up on things. She will walk around things and stand for just a second on her own.

She says mama, dada. nana. baba.

Sometimes she’ll wave… it’s hit and miss.

She is eating finger foods now. This is something that should have been happening long ago…oops! So, now thanks to her mom of the year she is behind in her fine motor skills. We are working on getting that pincher grasp down!

She loves to UNfold laundry. Follow me around the house. Pull up on things. Play with the remotes and Iphone. She loves these little wind up bugs in the bathtub.

Most of the time she sleeps through the night, every now and then she will have a rough night.

She has 4 teeth on bottom and 2 on top.

Size 2/3 diapers and wears 6-9 month clothes.

I love my little munchkin girl!

 

Brittany’s Sock Monkey Shower

Shannon (my sis in law) I threw my other sis in law Brittany a baby shower back in August. I really can’t take much credit for the way it turned out because my mil and gmil took over. But still I contributed!

 

I did however make the diaper cake!

Poor Munchkin

Harper got her first virus. It started out on Monday with her being clingy in the morning. When I went to pick her up from my in laws my mil said that Harper was not feeling good. I took her temp when we got home and it was 102! I was a little worried, but figured it was just a cold. A few hours later she threw up all over me. At that point I decided to take her to the doctor.

 

The doctor did a strep test, but it was negative. She said it was just a virus that will run it’s course. In the mean time Harper has been miserable! Coughing, sneezing, gagging. I feel so bad for her. I think and hope she is on the mends now. She slept good the past two nights and is currently taking a long nap right now. Here’s to hoping the end of her sickness is in sight!

Convertible Car Seats

Harper is about an inch from outgrowing her infant seat, so I figured it is time to start looking for her next seat. Britax seats are on sale right now, so I’m trying to decide quickly what to get. I am debating between the Britax Boulevard 70 or the Graco My Ride 65.

The Graco is about $100 cheaper and would give Harper more leg room in the long haul (I plan to keep her rear facing for awhile). The Britax is nicer quality with overall better reviews, but is that worth the price? If you already have one of these will you help a girl out! What did you get and why?

Thanks!
