First Week with Harper!

Well, we made it through our first week keeping Harper, and you know what, it actually went pretty smoothly.  I think both kids have done great!  Me however…I'm pooped!!  For some reason having another child is like double the work…who knew! ;)  Seriously though, I have been very relieved at how well Bryant has adjusted.  He really likes Harper.  He wonders constantly where "baby" is, and he loves always patting her belly or head, grabbing her feet, or placing his head on her tummy.  Unfortunately he also likes to help bounce her in the bouncy seat and swing her in the swing.  If I place Harper in one of those or on the play mat, I have to watch him very closely.  Lucky for us, Harper is pretty chill.  I'm just glad he likes her.  He could have been extremely jealous, but he's not.  We have ventured out several times the past week.  We have gone to the bank, to the park twice, and to Publix.  I tell you what, it is much more difficult getting out with a toddler and baby than I thought it would be.  It makes the times it is just me and Bryant seem SOOO easy. :)  However, I'm sure I will get more and more use to it and better at it as time goes by.  But for now, we have made it through a week with flying colors!  Below are some pictures of Bryant and Harper!

 Introducing…HARPER!

Our first car ride!
Bryant playing golf!  He has already gotten much better. :)
 Our first stroller walk.  And fyi…yes, this thing is heavy! ;)
 Playing at the park
Our first park visit, this is what Harper did the entire time.  I guess she wasn't very impressed. :)
 She was smiling at him as he patted her belly and talked to her.
 My baby!
He looks so big here.. :(  And it's a 24 month outfit…  Where has time gone!
 This is what Harper does with the playmat… (Oh, and she is obsessed with that giraffe!)
And this is what Bryant does with the playmat!

Until next time…
