Harper's All Growns Up!!

TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI-TMI

Okay, now that I got out of the way...... My baby has totally self-weaned :(   She's so uninterested with nursing.  She'd rather look around, roll around on the bed, or just blow raspberries (motorboating, anyone??)

Don't get me wrong. I am very happy that she is independent and loves to hold her own bottle.  She is gaining weight, loves formula, and is finally eating REAL FOOD!! YAY!!  But she is just too cool for my boobies, and that makes me sad. I really wanted to nurse her until 1 year.  But she had other plans.  I think what makes me the saddest is how quickly she's growing up. **tear**


Our first nursing session.  Such an amazing day. 

But, alas, Harper wants nothing to do with nursing now. 




Here are some pictures of what Harper would rather eat.

Yummy food.  Mangoes and oatmeal, I believe.

I don't even need your help, Mama!


Next thing we know, she'll be driving herself to Taco Bell!!

My First Mother's Day!

Last Sunday was my first Mother's Day.  It meant so much to me because I am truly honored and blessed to be Harper's mommy.  It took almost two years for us to conceive and I have many friends that have struggled with starting a family.  So needless to say, I don't take this role lightly.

I had a super first Mommy's Day.  I slept in a little (Thanks Matt!), we went to brunch with all the family, Harper and Matt bought me an actual nightstand (simple pleasures :) and a membership to a yoga studio ( I survived my first Bikram yoga class!).  All in all, it was a great day!  I thank God everyday for blessing us with our little Harps and for giving me the most important role of my life: being a mom.
