4 Months Old and Trying Solid Food

Happy 4 Months to Harper!

She is growing up so fast! She's starting to hold her own bottle, eager to control her eating. We tried to give her some pears...she made some funny faces and didn't really seem that taken with them, but we'll try again today. She's starting to roll around (not all the way around, but close!) to her tummy. She's beginning to show signs that she wants to sit-up on her own; though she's still doing the adorable bobble-head whilst sitting. She loves to look around as ever. She's fascinated with faces. She's a joy to interact with. She's quick to laugh at whatever strange audible you can come up with, which is humbling...hey, I'll do whatever it takes to get a giggle or even a smile.
And of course, she babbles and coos all the time.

This week we had such a lovely time with Grammie Wax. We do miss Daddy...He's fishing up a storm in Minnesota with his Dad, his brother and his dad's fishing partner. He caught a monster Wallie his first day. I think they're all having a great time.

Speaking of great times. Saturday Grammie, Harper and I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. It was so beautiful. All the roses were in bloom. It is such a lovely place to go. I don't know why we've only discovered it this year.


Sunday we went to Grace Church and Harper was blessed by the minister there. We had coffee and pastries afterward, took an afternoon nap and then strolled the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. It was a gloriously sunny day. We decided to head over to Pacifico for fish tacos...Harper slept through dinner...she's such a good baby.

Monday we were thinking of our Grandpas all day. It was Grandpa Wax's actual birthday & Grandpa Miles was enjoying his birthday gift of last year: the fishing trip. Harper wanted to share her sweet wishes with them.


Course we couldn't leave out the Grandmas.


It stormed a lot in NY that day, but we managed to get out for a stroll in the late afternoon and I made Grammie Wax's favorite: linguini and clams for dinner. Harper slept in her swing all through dinner. :) Tuesday was Grammie's last day. She spent the night in with Harper while I went out to meet some friends. We were so sad to see her go! I've got four days flying solo.

Wish me luck!
