I check little Harper Cole’s mouth for teeth just about every day. Night before last, there was no sign of a tooth. But yesterday when Carrie, his babysitter, brought him to me afterschool….we saw a tiny slit in his gum! Sure enough, when I felt around, I could feel the very tip of a tiny [...]

Harper Cole had his one-year-well-baby visit today with Dr. Tammy. Mommy was a little “over” prepared with three pages of typed notes and questions about the little guy, but we left very informed…so that’s what counts! He was a trooper when Nurse Angela gave him his shots…he cried, but not for long. Daddy was there [...]

Harper Cole is developing such a little personality. He’s so funny. I wish everyone could see our little guy dance. He dances ALL THE TIME! He’s really got a lot of rhythm, too! He’s also learned how to brush his hair. Anytime he can get his little hands on a brush, he starts brushing his [...]

…is fantastic! Harper Cole is such a joy and I’m so proud to be his mommy. He’s such a good little baby boy. He’s just all over the place now! He’s walking in chunks of about 10 steps or more. He still crawls a good bit (it’s just faster for him right now), but walks [...]

I’ve read to Harper Cole since I brought him home from the hospital. He wasn’t too thrilled with it at first, but he likes it a lot better now! He likes to point at the pictures while being read to. I try to read to him every single day, but there are days here and [...]

Harper Cole “dined” with Mommy and Daddy last night! He still has no teeth, but he can gum like nobody’s business! I cooked roast, potatoes, and carrots for dinner and decided to try it out with our little man. I put the roast in my little chopper and shred it into tiny pieces, cut up [...]

This past weekend, our baby boy took his very first steps! He’s taken one (sometimes two) every once in awhile, but on Saturday- he tooks six in a row! Shane and I were both SO excited that he did that for the first time and we both got to see it. Since we work, we [...]

I have to say it was a little sad seeing 2008 go…since that was the year Harper Cole was born. We are however, looking forward to his first birthday coming up VERY soon! Harper really seemed to enjoy the holidays…he received so many wonderful new toys for Christmas that we had to make him a [...]

Harper Cole is feeling much better now! Praise the Lord! We had our first Christmas with Papaw and Gina Eubanks…that was fun! We have now traveled to Tennessee to celebrate Christmastime with Mamaw and Papaw Reagan, Granna Tana, Mamaw Cole, Aunt Lori, and lots of other family members on Daddy’s side of the family. Harper [...]

Harper Cole is officially sick for the first time. He has an upper respiratory infection, an ear infection, a little vomiting, and a fever. He is very clingy and quite pitiful. He’s on antibiotics along with Tylenol and Motrin. There’s a lot of TLC going on around here as he’s just not feeling good and [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Harper Cole is enjoying his very first Christmas! He loves all the lights, decorations, Christmas music, and so on. He’s such a joy and I think God for him every single day. He is and always will be the most perfect Christmas gift for me. Please enjoy [...]
