Fun filled weekend
Nate watched after Harper while Karen went to brunch at Mesa Grill with their friend, Carrie visiting from Houston, Carrie's sister, Julee, who lives in NYC and Julee's boyfriend, Brad.
It was a lovely meal and it was great to be out and about.
Harper behaved well for Nate who was busy preparing dinner for that night when Carrie, Julee and Brad would be coming over to meet Harper for the first time.

The Perfect Day
By the afternoon it was 60 degrees (that's warm here!) so Nate came home early and we strolled Harper down to a family friendly wine bar and had wine and tapas in the afternoon sun. This is big, people! This was our 1st foray out to a public eatery as a family. And it was a great success.
Karen felt like a big girl.
And was an angel before and after.
Then, that night we all slept for 5 hrs straight!It was the perfect day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
In an old Irish tradition, Harper vomited all over her St. Paddy's Day shirt today. But not before her mom snapped some photos of how cute she was in her outfit.
This week, Harper and mom went to their first yoga class post-natal. The sleeping did not last, but hey, it was good to be out of the house.
5 weeks old and Harper is growing so fast! She's already too big for newborn diapers and some of her newborn clothes. I'm afraid she only has a few more naps left in her Moses basket. It's too bad we're losing it's portability, our neighbors are building onto the brownstone next door and it's increasingly hard to drown out the sounds of construction...the ocean waves can only be turned up so loud before it begins to sound scary instead of soothing. Hopefully the weather will turn warm soon and she can nap daily in the sun while taking a stroll.
In nightly news, H has begun allowing 5 hrs in between her evening feedings. Though she's not asleep for in between times, her mom has at least gotten solid 3 and 4 hours of sleep (in a row) this week! She's currently dreaming of a 5 hr stretch...that would be the life.
That's about all the news from here. But do check out the photos of March, many sweet smiling action shots of Miss H.In nightly news, H has begun allowing 5 hrs in between her evening feedings. Though she's not asleep for in between times, her mom has at least gotten solid 3 and 4 hours of sleep (in a row) this week! She's currently dreaming of a 5 hr stretch...that would be the life.
Thank you all for all the beautiful gifts you've been sending Harper. She'll probably be able to write before I get the thank you notes out. Please know that Nate, Harper and I know we are so blessed to have so many generous friends who love us.
Lots of love to you,
Karen, Nate & Harper

One Month Old!
Harper is now 4 weeks old! She's really starting to smile (mostly in the morning and when falling asleep). She's in love with her changing table and totally smitten with a photo of her cousin Drew in a froggie costume from Halloween. She loves to kick her legs, always has to have one hand free from her swaddle, and is starting to get more and more vocal. She's also been allowing 4 hrs between nightly feedings (which means mom gets at least 5 hrs of sleep a night)!
Harper is currently 9 lbs. 12 oz. (78th percentile) and 22.5 inches tall (90th percentile). She's long and lean like her folks.
This week Harper met her beautiful Auntie Kristie, who flew in from SF for four days (leaving behind her two beautiful boys, well, three, if you count her husband too). Kristie was here for quite a lot of firsts...
...and 1st rock concert
