Harper Cole is just blooming by the day! He’s such a little sponge right now, soaking in this great big world of sights and sounds around him! He loves to swim and swing (“whim” and “whing”) while we are at the pool. So many mornings, when he wakes up…his first word is “pool”! He’s so [...]

Just so I can share some things that Harper is saying (and get a list going for those of you who aren’t able to see him as much as others), I’m making a little list of things he’s saying a doing. Enjoy! Words Harper Cole will *attempt* to repeat just about anything you ask him [...]

Our little boy is just that- all boy. He’s loving playing and just being outdoors- whether its just being in the new backyard area or getting together for playdates. We’ve met a couple of new buddies and Harper Cole seems to enjoy hangin’ out with some dudes! Haha…no offense ladies- he thoroughly enjoys your presence [...]

Harper Cole LOVES being outside. He would stay morning until night and until you could only see the blues of his eyes for all the dirt that would cover him. We’ve been working on our backyard to get it into good shape for Harper Cole to play. For the ones of you that have seen [...]

I look at my precious little boy with each and every day and I just thank the almighty God above for his health, his safety, his darling personality, his little mind, his curiousity, and his sweet spirit. It seems at this stage, each day brings a new word, a new expression, a new “funny”, a [...]

Harper Cole had his very first surgery this morning at Children’s Healthcare- Scottish Rite. (He was re-circumcised, if you didn’t already know). Along with Shane and myself, Granna Tana, Mamaw and Papaw, and Grammy and Granddaddy were there with the little guy. That hospital is so neat- with everything revolving around children. There were toys [...]

We made a trip to the Georgia Aquarium this past Saturday with Papaw and Gina. Harper Cole had never been before so we were all very excited to see his first impressions. When we arrived and went into the first big tank of mixed tropical fish, he was immediately interested, saying “fiss, fiss!”. When we [...]

Easter was a time of lots of great memories for us. We started our day by getting up to see what the Easter Bunny brought Harper Cole. He had a basket filled with a bubble maker, a book, Little People Eggs, a frog lunchbag, and an Elmo movie. EB also went to Grammy and Granddaddy’s [...]

Since last Saturday was such a nice, warm, DRY spring day (we haven’t had very many of those lately!), we decided to load up the bikes and the baby and go for a ride at Berry College. The Viking Trail is our favorite place to ride. It’s so beautiful out there and there’s a great [...]

Harper Cole is such an inquisitive little fellow! He loves to take things apart, *attempt* to put them back, crawl through, into, or under things,push anything that will push (especially his strollers) and just try to figure out this great big world surrounding him. “He’s into everything” was an expression that I never completely understood [...]

It’s hard to believe Harper Cole is 14 months old already! He’s really just turning into a little man right before our eyes. His personality is hilarious…witty, smart, and sweet…but he definitely has a tiny bit of a temper from time to time. He just can’t stand for anyone to take anything away from him- [...]

Today was such a nice, warm day- I just couldn’t stay inside when Harper Cole and I came home after I got off work. We took our shoes off (well, I took our shoes off!), grabbed the big red ball and the squishy Tonka truck with the big wheels and headed outside. Harper Cole was [...]
