Laundry Helper

Harper loves to crawl around in piles of laundry that I am trying to fold :) He got himself a little "wrapped up" in Mommy's underwear today! He seems to be pretty happy still tho :)


All Smiles




Oh, how I love Harper's smile. It's just about my favorite thing in the world to see!

Harper has been spending August 2009 cruising all over the place. I can't believe he's standing around and furniture-surfing at only 7 months. We have a little over-achiever on our hands!

Swim Lessons






On Monday, Harper and I started Baby Swim Lessons at Echo Hollow Pool. It has been SO much fun for the both of us. Yesterday, Tuli got to take a long lunch and come with us too! Also, Ashley came with and took pictures for us :)

The main idea of Baby Swim Class is to get the babies used to the water...being in it, getting their heads and faces wet, and going under water. Harper (of course) was the star student! He went under water the first day, and he still hasn't cried during class! He is one tough, determined baby! He seems to really like the water...especially if he has a pool toy to chew on :)

Bigger and Better

We moved! We are now 2 blocks away from where we used to live, and we are soooo happy with our new place. It's a duplex with a yard, garage and.....AIR CONDITIONING! The layout is much more baby-friendly, with lots of room for Harper to crawl.



Dining room (note black and white photo wall that we're having fun with)



Tiny kitchen...but then again, I never really like having other people in the kitchen
while I'm cooking!


Oh, and yes, you heard me correctly, I said CRAWL! Our little boy has 2 teeth, and is sitting and crawling all the time now. We spend a lot of our time chasing him around, but it's good exercise :)

Instead of posting all of the pictures individually, I'm creating a slideshow to show you all how the Summer of Harper has been going. It's hard to believe that a year ago, I was pregnant with him...and now we have a beautiful, perfect baby boy. He changes everyday, and we love him more everyday too.

Harper and I start swimming lessons next Monday (THANK YOU GRANDPA JIM!), and I'm so excited! He has already been swimming once in his Grandpa's pool, and he looooved it. We're hoping he'll be a little water-baby like I was when I was his age.
