Harper (3 months and counting)...

Dear Harper Faye, 

The past few months have been impossible and wonderful all rolled into one, you're still alive, so that must mean I am doing something right. Its funny because when you're a little older you'll think I just know what I am doing all of the time. I don't, I have absolutely no idea, I'll learn along with you. Then you'll turn 14 and you'll know more than me. ;) I'll savor the 14 years before that though when I can be the know-it-all. 

You're one adorable baby ya know that? I wish I could have logged how you were at 1 month and at 2 months. But I was in sleep deprived psycho state for the majority of that. I really tried to type one day and about fell asleep. How is it that you sleep most of your life (right now anyway) but I am exhausted half the time? It makes no sense to me. 

So at 3 months, this is what you're all about... 

• You are obsessed with the ceiling fan. Absolutely obsessed. It doesn't matter what room we walk into you are looking for it. We were at Arsagas a few weeks ago, out on their porch and you were in ceiling fan heaven. 
• A wet diaper is the closest thing to the end of the world that you have ever experienced. It's a little silly how dramatic you are about it, but once we change you you're good as new. Hey, no worries, I get in a tizzy about certain things too. 
• You love to snuggle. Keep being like that, I love that you can fall asleep on my chest no matter where we are. 
• When all else fails, its paci time. You love your paci. That's gonna be really fun when we take that away from you one day. 
• You think it's hilarious when we stick out our tongue, it's the first time I ever heard you giggle. 
• Your dad and I make up songs for you all the time. You love them. 
• We prayed you'd be joyful and are you ever! You are just happy happy throughout the day and it's contagious! 
• You love your swing, maybe a little too much. 
• You're very alert and when we're around a lot of people you don't want to sleep. You might miss out so you try your hardest to stay awake. I'm like that too, I hate missing out. 
• You just started kicking and moving your arms all over the place. It's pretty cute.
• And you're cooing all the time. Could your voice be any more precious? NO. 
• Sometimes when you're crying it's because you really just don't want to be held. The minute we put you down you're fine. It's kind of cute how already you like a little space. I get that. Your dad and I recharge the same way. 
• You sat in your bumbo a few days ago! (high five!!!) 
• You just started sucking your thumb. Feeling out which ones best, you switch on and off and sometimes you have them both in your mouth. 

I have loved getting to know you sweet girl. I really just think you're the best thing ever. I am so thankful for you!! You are greatly loved by myself and your dad. We're gonna raise you right, but you might get away with a lot because you're so darn cute. 

Love you little sister, 

Momma
