Harper Ellison: Month 4
My little Harper E,
How is it possible that you just turned 5 months old 3 days ago? I know it probably gets old hearing me question where all this time is going and why it refuses to slow down, but you'll understand someday.
In the last couple months, your personality has been such a pleasure to get to know. You smile back when you're smiled at and your little right cheek dimple is too cute to even handle.
Being high up in the air is your favorite thing in the entire world. If we hold you up above our heads, you will just SCREAM because you're so happy. Occasionally you'll let a laugh slip out, but usually always a scream with that big gummy smile of yours. Perfection.
At 4 months (and 1 day) you just decided to start sitting up on you own. I'm not sure what compelled you to do this, but with supervision (and a soft pillow behind you just in case) you would sit up and play and "talk" and occasionally tip over. And then, a few weeks later, you just decided, "oh hey, I'm just going to stand up on my own, I'm not even going to hold onto anything." Yeah...I about had a heart attack and am completely surprised that I even had the wits to take a photo. Luckily, you haven't done that again, the standing on your own nonsense. I'm glad we at least still have a liiittle bit of time left before you practically start running this place.

On my first Mother's day, we did a family photo session with Darci, one of the photographers I always work with, and who you will probably know as Aunt Darci in the years to come since she's known you since before you were even born. It was probably about 92 degrees outside and the blazing sun just would not quit. You hated every second of that shoot, but you looked absolutely gorgeous in your little dress and headband.
At one point, I dipped you into my cup of coffee :)...and you were featured on a website for it.
You became reaaaally good friends with your feet.
And I may or may not have drawn eyebrows and a mustache on your face while you were sleeping so innocently....
Baby girl, you have been the most incredible EVERYTHING to me. So much fun and so much cute and so incredibly happy (most of the time). I constantly have to remind myself that, yes, this is real life, I DID get the most perfect human child to ever be born into this world. Biased? Nope. Not even a little bit, everyone else thinks so to.
I love you so much more than you will ever know Harper. You bring a crazy love, an incredible light to all of our lives. I don't know what kind of good I could have possibly done to create something as beautiful as you are but, I am the luckiest. The very, very luckiest.
Love, Mama
