3 months

Harper is already 3 months old! I can't believe how fast she's growing. Well, growing is an over-statement. She is still our petite little munchkin but she is growing a big personality. She definitely has her likes and dislikes now and is by far the most smiley child ever. You just look at her and a huge grin appears across her face. Some of her likes include:
Dad
Being swaddled 
Taking a bath
Watching her sisters run around
Eating
When Rhaegan holds her

 She does have a few dislikes as well:
When her arm gets free from her swaddled position
Loud noises
Car seat
Getting out of the bath
Kids holding her
Having a messy diaper
All in all she is the sweetest little lady ever. We love her so much and seriously can't get enough of her. She's a great sleeper, a good eater and melts your heart with smiles.
Love you, Harps!

11 weeks

Little miss Harper is 11 weeks tomorrow. I can't believe how fast these last 11 weeks have gone. Harper is an absolute joy to have in our family. She is such a wonderful baby and her smiles and coos truly melt your heart.

 At her 2 month appointment she weighed 9 lbs 11 oz and was 22.5 inches long. I was so excited when they told me her weight because I felt like she wasn't growing at all. However, her weight is only in the 6 percentile (I never really listen to the percentile garbage), so she is just a petite thing. They weren't worried at all about her being so small so I won't worry either. 
I have never really been a big fan of newborns. I am always wanting my kids to grow out of that phase. But with Harper, she could stay 2 months forever and I would be happy. She is sleeping 6-8 hours straight at night and taking pretty naps during the day. She loves her daddy and smiles the minute she hears his voice. Her sisters are obsessed with her and are always wanting to play with her. One day she'll appreciate that. However, right now she definitely prefers adults to hold her. We love this little lady so much.
