Tummy Time
We've been trying to give Harper more tummy time lately, so he can strengthen his back and arms, which will help him crawl eventually. He looks so stinking cute when he's on his tummy!

Easter Baby
On Harper's first Easter, we went to church with Grammie and Quampa. After church, we went to Grammie's house for a great Easter dinner with some family. Below are some videos of Harper playing with his Grammie and Quampa, and also a fun little slideshow I made! :)

Emailing Baby
In the below video, Harper is emailing Aunt Missy down in Arizona.
I didn't think it was possible, but he got cuter today :)

Hot Baby
On Sunday, Cathy and I took our babies for a walk
along the Willamette river.
along the Willamette river.
The weather was awesome this weekend! The whole car ride back to Cathy's house, Harper was screaming :(
I figured out he was hot, so I took off all of his clothes and started blowing cool air on him. He loved it! This video shows him wiggling as I'm cooling him off :)
He was 3 months old yesterday, and I will get him weighed tomorrow :)
