So I promised a Christmas blog . . . but now it it almost March and I've decided it's too late. Here are a few pix of our cutie pie over the last month. She's getting so big I can hardly believe it! Time is flying, she's 5 months next week (although it's weird because there is no 29th of feb to celebrate with her!)

Her last dr. appt she was in the 90th percentile for both weight and height. She is now around 18lbs and helping me build my arm muscles every day! Today was her first ride in the shopping cart sitting up like a big girl in the front instead of me lugging her heavy carseat into stores, she did great, only flopped over once! She's eating rice cereal a couple times a day and loving it, sitting up pretty well on her own but she's still not a huge fan of tummy time. We got her a baby einstein exersaucer that she LOVES . . she dances around and plays all day in that thing, it's her favorite.

I feel like the only thing we talk about is Harlow, but thats cause she's the most exciting part of our life right now! Although our crazy life is about to change . . . we're moving to MN in a couple months because Brandon is starting Nurse Anesthesia school at St. Mary's in May. He is super stoked to get back in to school since he'll finally be learning about the area he's wanted to work in since he started studying nursing. I'm super sad to leave AZ, our house, our friends, the sunshine . . . :( but I'm really excited to be near the Randall family and cousins! It will be quite a change going back to being poor college kids, we've had a taste of the good life for the past couple of years, and now it will feel like we're going backwards, but hopefully just for a few years until Brandon is done with school. Harlow will keep me busy while Daddy is at school learning and studying all day, and I'll hopefully still be working for the same firm, just telecommuting from MN since everything is digital now, but we'll see. My parents just got called to the Bangkok Thailand mission, they'll actually be in Myanmar Burma (don't know how to spell that) and they leave on May 30th, so it's a crazy time for all of us right now!

Anyway, here are some recent pix of our cutie, we just love her so much, her cheeks and rolls make me laugh every day!




haha, Brandon was taking pictures and she just wanted to grab the camera so badly
so she got super close in this one!





mmm mm rice cereal . . . she even makes the mmm mm noises when she eats it when she wants more!
