This post is specifically for the soon-to-be newlyweds and who they can look forward to seeing in 3 weeks when they adventure to Peter Island.
It will make others laugh, too.
Jean Kelley, is the crazy lady featured below who loves Jesus more than anything and is absolutely hilarious! She first met me when I was in my mommy’s tummy and has kept up with us ever since. She works at the resort on Peter Island.
Introducing Morning Baby…
(you will have to pause the music at the bottom to really hear her 🙂 )
As I sit here tonight, FINALLY updating our blog, I have to pause about ever 7.5 seconds to put Harper’s paci back in! She is so tired, but I’m trying to wait to put her down for bed with her last feeding. So in the mean time – I’ve got 15 minutes, I’m going to try to update this.
BACK ON TUESDAY AM TO FINISH THIS>>>
So, this blog thing is much more difficult to do with a baby. I have lots of thoughts – deep ones,moving ones – but they all happen around 3 AM. OR maybe they just SEEM deep through the sleep haze. I am making this way more difficult than need be – as I do many things in life. So, I’m just going to update this with what we are up to…
– Harper rolled over yesterday for the first time! From her back to her tummy. We actually didn’t get to SEE the process, but found her like this….It was funny.
– I am ready to start exercising seriously now. On Saturday we had a fun summer day. We went to the park and I started running some. It felt so good to push myself. I also got to vacuum my car. Having a clean car is just simply delightful.
– Harper is laughing out loud these days and it is the BEST sound in the world. When we figure out how to upload videos we’ve taken of her, then we will, but until then you will just have to imagine the cutest baby in the world making the cutest and funniest and most precious sound in the world (at least in her mama and daddy’s eyes (and ears) !!!)
– Lately, I’ve been somewhat obsessed with laundry. I love it when all my baskets are empty. But this usually lasts only around an hour or two before Harper spits up or poops on something. So, I enjoy those two hours before the laundry starts up again.
– Chris has been working hard on getting ready for his first mission trips (in Nashville) and camps this year. He does such a great job working hard while at work, but then coming home and unwinding with us. Oh, and did I mention that Harper LOVES her Daddy SO much! She just talks and coos and laughs at him. It is so precious.
– We are so very excited about Nancy and Will’s upcoming wedding! We will go visit for almost 3 weeks!
Okay, well I’m off to enjoy another cup of coffee before the little squirt wakes up. She was up 2 times last night. Two steps forward, one step back…
Dear Harper,
You are sweetly sleeping in your pack-n-play this morning. You fought going to sleep last night, but once you fell asleep – at 12:30am- you slept until 6 am, woke up, ate some breakfast ;), went back to sleep, and you are still sleeping – it is 10:15, now.
The last few days have been kind of draining, and I’ve wanted a break – actually, just needed more sleep. You have fed a lot more often, and have been crying a little more- my guess is that you are going through a growth spurt.
I admit that because now that you are asleep, I cannot wait for you to wake up! I miss you. Whenever I think I want a break for a moment, and then I get that break, I miss you terribly. I want to be with you even if you are crying or won’t go to sleep or if you have just pooped all over the changing table. You are so very precious to me, and i am so blessed to be your mama.
Please wake up! I can’t wait to see you smile, hear you laugh, comfort you when you cry, and fill your empty tummy!
I love you,
Mommy
Well, my sweet baby girl slept 9 hours straight last night. Amazing! I think we have turned the corner on good no GREAT nights of sleep. Hooray!
I will be back on later to post some pics and give an update on our fun trip to Georgia.
