At Home With Harper

Levi and Mallory absolutely ADORE their new baby sister! It's so awesome to see your kids loving on each other. They are constantly kissing on her, touching her, wanting to hold her, and trying to calm her down when she's fussing. Most of the pictures I have are of Levi and Mallory holding Harper. They ask all the time to hold her and then they ask me to take their picture. They also love to read to her. It's pretty cute.

Levi and Mallory have been playing really well together lately and fighting less frequently. In fact they are getting along so well that I have trouble settling them down sometimes, especially at dinner and bed time. Once they get each other laughing, the giggling just won't stop!!

Harper has been doing so well and she fits in perfectly into our family. She's a very easy going baby and eats and sleeps like an angel. Typically, I only get up once at night to feed her and she goes right back to sleep...but of course, since I've just typed this she will probably be up all night tonight! She had her two week well visit today and everything went well. She is back up to her birth weight, which means she gained 11 ounces in a week. Needless to say, nursing is going really well. :)

I am so glad that Harper is finally here and that I am not pregnant anymore!! I definitely think it's easier having three kids, one of which is a newborn is much easier than two kids and being pregnant!! :)
