Independence

We spent the Fourth on the lake, for the fourth annual Timmerman/Cadwallader/Donley shindig. (Thanks Big Dan and Big Mama!!!) Chatham loved the boat, but only went out on the jet ski for about ten minutes, He also LOVED sitting in Big Dan's Mule (which C calls the Orange Gator) and blowing the horn.

 Harper spent time swinging and napping on the dock and then went on two boat rides. She slept through the fireworks, but didn't mind the life jacket too much.

 This weekend has brought on much independence for Miss H. She has two bottom teeth just trying to pop through, is now sitting up for quite sometime on her own and LOVES to roll around on her play mat or even just a blanket, as long as there are tons of toys around her.

 Harper is eating so much food it's crazy- nearly 3 oz. 3 times a day. So far she's had apples, bananas, pears, peaches, mango, and blueberries. Sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, and today she tried puffs but spit out the third one we gave her, so maybe we'll try again in about a week.

Size 2 diapers are still what you're wearing, but I think we'll be moving up to 3's once you finish this box. You cat nap through the day, but crash about 8 and we wake you up at 10 for one last bottle and that gets you through the night until about 6 AM. This is a huge difference from your brother, his morning usually started at 4:15.
