Often referred to as Happy Harper our little lady has had a big month. June brought some major milestones including rolling over from back to front, sitting up unassisted (for a few minutes before wobbling over), going for her first swim, celebrating her first Father's Day and just yesterday her first 4th of July.
At Harper's June check-up she weighed in at 10 lbs 15 oz (they made me take her diaper off otherwise she would have hit 11 lbs) and she was 24" long. She is good and healthy and although we haven't seen a tooth yet we are certain they are going to start poking through before we know it.
She has mastered the art of getting the pacifier back into her mouth and just today got her first taste of her toe. When you're holding her she'll reach out for things and people that she wants to explore and show's a slight preference for her mom (much to the frustration of dad and aunt Mary when mom's at work.) She smiles and sticks her tongue out all the time and loves to stand up.
This month we took a family trip to Burlington for my birthday and father's day and enjoyed a visit with Jocelyn and Dusty. Dan came home for a visit and met Harper for the first time, she loves him.
July is going to be another busy month and we're looking forward to Seth & Sarah's wedding as well as the arrival of Baby McClelland and another trip to Maine to see Theo and his parents!
Here are some photos of Harper from June and the first days of July:
