Harriet’s first Sunday at church.

One of the best parts of having two girls is being able to coordinate their outfits—if I had all the money in the world they would match all of the time—love it!

Then we changed out of Easter dresses and did an egg hunt in Grandma’s backyard:

Harriet- 1 month.

Harriet turned a month old 6 days ago…and yeah, she’s definitely a second child—with Elna I was really good about doing posts on the actual day of her milestones—with Harriet I barely have time to shower, let alone do blog posts on time.  I’m seriously amazed by parents who have more than 2 children.  How?!  I suppose we’ll cross that road when we get there.

Harriet is such a gem!  Seriously, there isn’t a sweeter baby than our cute Hattie!  She is so calm and flexible to all of the chaos going on around here.  She just rolls with the punches—something I’m still learning to do myself.

At one month old, Harriet:

--is a pretty descent sleeper.  I usually only feed her once during the night, somewhere between 2 and 4 a.m.  Not bad!

--is a good little eater and is starting to get a little double chin to prove it!  Loving it!

--is almost always calm, but has definitely found her voice.  She can go from a 1 to 10 in volume in half a second. 

--has the widest eyes, pensively taking in the world around her.  People often notice her big eyes and whenever they do I am happy inside because her great aunt that she was named after also had notably large eyes. 

--has a smile that melts me in two. 

--sweetly coos and gurgles and makes me want to stop everything I’m doing just to talk in my silliest voice to her. 

--has completely won us over!

Cutest girls ever!

Harriet often has this wide-eyed look.  I love how serious she is in these pictures.

Look at those long fingers!

Elna loves our neighbor’s dogs.

And I love watching her love dogs, because I certainly do not love dogs myself.  But I sure love her!

These pictures make me want to take her outside more often.  She loves being outside more than anything I can think of!
