Harper at 7 Months Old

She weighs around 24 lb.
She is wearing 12 month clothes and some 12-18mo. clothes due to her torso length.
Wears size 4 diapers
Eats four 6 oz. bottles a day and still takes Prevacid for reflux
She loves her vegetables, fruits, and oatmeal. She started puffs and loves those and her Baby MumMums. She is still very impatient when she knows she is about to get a bottle or food. She fusses until it hits her mouth. So funny.
Harper is sitting unassisted really well. She has no desire to crawl yet;) Just rolling all over the place.
She is starting to wave and high five when asked.
She loves her big girl baths and splashes like crazy, soaking me every time.
She loves her sister so much. She smiles and laughs with Eden all the time.
She takes two 2 hour naps and a short one hour nap each day. She sleeps through the night from 9pm -7:30am.
Harper favorite game right now is hide-n-seek or "where's Harper?". She loves to pull her burp cloth or lovey off her head and grin ear to ear.
Harper has gotten so ticklish. Her thighs, feet, armpits, and back are super ticklish and you can get her laughing really hard tickling her now. So adorable. She still has a super low chuckle that we LOVE!
Harper still talks like crazy. She is saying all kinds of crazy sounds but one of her favorites is "dada" over and over again.
She is starting to enjoy her stroller more and more which has been great for Eden's soccer games and gymnastics. She will hang out in there and eat some puffs or play.
Eden and Harper are starting to play a little more or interact together more. I love it when they look at books together or when Eden will show her things. So sweet.
Harper loves playing with her giraffe (Sophie) and with her paci which she enjoys chewing on.
She still just has her bottom two middle teeth. We have no idea when the others will start coming in.
People keep commenting on how much Harper looks like Eden. They definitely favor each other and their daddy=)
Harper loves to be outside. She will roll around on her blanket and watch Eden like a hawk. If Eden gets out of sight and then comes back in to view Harper kicks her legs like crazy and grins so big. She can't get enough of Eden.
Harper reaches for EVERYTHING! If you have something or even lay anything near her, she has to have it. She will reach and reach until she gets it or you move it out of sight. It is so funny.
Harper is still a drool bug. Non-stop drool all the time. I am ready for that to go;)
We left Harper for the first time for three nights with Granna while we ran the 1/2 marathon in Nashville, TN and she did great.
