My sweet Stratton's 3 month photo shoot.

Well hello there buddy...The limelight looks good on you!

I can tell already the blog is going to shift into survival mode. Soon to consist only of long breaks followed by huge posts in a desperate attempt to catch up. Oh well, life will go on, the world will still spin, and my kids will continue to grown like they're in a race against time.

So take off that coat, grab a hot toddy, and get comfortable, it's gonna be a long one:)

Stratton is almost 4 months old!!!!

I know, WHAT??!! Crazy how fast it went. You would think after having one kid who went from 0 to 3 in 8 seconds I would know how it worked right? Well no, still shocks me. I have been so slack with the blog, and as you all know, baby's change so much in their first year, so here is the complete run down of my sweet babe's first 1/3 of a year...through his eyes:)

First...I came home.

Then I stayed pretty lazy for the first little while.

Different position, still lazy.

I hung out with my sister some.

Met a new friend:)

Hung out with my sister again.

Bummed around the skate park.

That made me really tired.

Anxiously awaited the arrival of the big man.

Still had time to look really cute:)

Dressed like a lumberjack.

Started sleeping in my crib. I was scared at first.

Spent some time with Dad.

Spread the word.

Got all dressed up, having no place to go.

What? It keeps me warm!

I started smiling and I haven't stopped:)

I looked really cute again.

Oh yeah, and then I made this face!

Got to meet my Aunt Valerie! She came all the way from Vermont just to see me!!

I met a girl.

Stole her right away from this (unsuspecting) character.

That made me tired again.

I figured out how to get this blasted thing into my mouth.

Spent more time with my sister.

This is embarrassing...once again, looking cute.

Wore a hat.

Tested out the bumbo seat and was quite happy about it.

Then I got tired.

I'm so sorry about this, I don't know how these keep sneaking in...cute AGAIN!

Holy crap, it's like she's ALWAYS there!!

Sometimes I sat alone...

...sometimes with friends.

Found time to run for office at the Shady Pines retirement community.

Squeezed in a bath or 2.

Did I mention spending time with my sister?

Went faster than a speeding bullet.

Needless to say...that also made me VERY tired:)

What?? What did she say?

In case anyone was having difficulty, here is a key for the most recent Harperisms :)

"Last year" = Yesterday, last week, basically any point in the past

"Next morning" = Tomorrow

"Breaquist" = Breakfast

"Compooterer" = Computer

"Little second" = Just a second ("can you come here for a little second")

"Cups" = Because

"Smoch" = Smoke

"Resternaut" = Restaurant

"Cewall" = Cereal

"Harper size" = anything small ("Look it's a Harper size chair!!")

"Cuppy" = Comfy

"Harper show" = Any kid show on TV

"liva" = Olivia

"Scetti" = Spaghetti

"Blitz" = Spit up

"Joof" = Juice

"Cleem" = Clean

And on a funny note...since Adam and I have started spelling words to each other in front of her, Harper will now just say random letters when she talks about certain things.

"Can we go to the L.P.T. park today?"
