The Mudpie Company

This morning we woke early to get ready for a fun day in Kingwood. We met up with our friends Angela & Gentry, Ashley & Cooper, Saige & Jenna, and Kristen & Caden. We went to a pottery place called The Mudpie Company for storytime. We read Grumpy Santa and made a Cookies for Santa plate. The plates turned out so cute. We used the babies fingerprints for lightbulbs and put their footprint in the middle of the plate. I was worried that maybe the babies were too young for this activity, but I was wrong they all did so good. I think we'll definitely be going back to make something for Father's Day!

After we painted we went to my mom's house for a yummy lunch. We ate Chelsea's chicken salad, a must if you visit Kingwood and my mom's famous fruit pizza. I'm pretty sure it's not on weight watchers!! My mom watched the babies while we hit up a few of the local baby stores. It was such a great day. I think everyone is now ready for babies first Christmas!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a week ago, but I wanted to post these pictures, better late than never!
We had a very nice Thanksgiving in Centerville with the Heathcott side of the family. We have so much to be thankful for!





















Big Bear Ranch

Gentry, Harper, & Cooper

A couple of weekends ago we invited our friends the Matthews, Dupuis, Selfs, and Beals up to the ranch. We crammed 10 people and 3 babies into the ranch house! Talk about a tight squeeze! The guys hunted most of the weekend while the girls relaxed and played with the babies. The girls managed to sneak out of the house for a ride on the Ranger. On Saturday night we went to the Leona General Store and had a steak. The General Store only serves steak or chicken, potatos, and an iceberg lettuce salad with ranch!! At the General Store we made friends with some folks from Baylor and they insisted we sing the Baylor Line to the whole restaurant! It was such a fun weekend!

3 Months Old


First off let me say, I can't even believe I'm writing this!! Three months old already, time really does fly! We went to visit Dr. Herrin last week to get another round of shots. Harper only got 2 shots at his 2 month check up. We decided to space the first round of shots out because I wasn't sure how I felt about vaccinations. Of course we were going to vacinate Harper, but I wanted to space out the shots. All this to say that we didn't get the full check up this month because there usually are not 3 month check ups! So here are his stats......Weight 12.4 pounds!

Praise Baby

Many of Harper's friends have found the television. Their mommies love it because the babies are so fascinated with it. So today I decided to introduce Harper to the T.V. I put him in the bouncy chair right in front of the television. He loved it! He watched praise baby and just cooed and drooled. It was precious. I loved singing along with it.(no one was home :))I can't describe the feeling of singing praise songs to a precious little baby. I pray that he comes to know God at an early age.

It's Heffer, not Harper!

Here are some Halloween pictures of our little cow. We decided he should be in the new

My Favorite Things

Okay so Oprah has a show dedicated to her favorite things, so I'm going to have a blog post about my favorite things! I have several pregnant friends and they asked me what they needed to get for their babies. When I was registering for baby items I had no idea what to register for. I asked my girlfriends what they recommended, but we were all first time moms around the same time and had no idea. Here are some things that I love and couldn't make it with out.

-A video monitor-mine is by Summer, it's awesome! I can look at sweet Harper sleep and know when the paci fell out, if the blanket is on his face, or if he is waking up happy. A must have!!
-Mam pacifiers-the only kind of paci harper likes, and all of his friends use them too...weird!
-A paci clip-Harper is always dropping his paci, with a paci clip it stays off the dirty floor.
-ebay - I buy so many NWT smocked outfits on ebay, great deals.
rain forest bouncer- this is great when they are newborns without the toy bar, and then around 2-3 months they are entertained for hours with the toy bar!
Medela shields-the easiest and most comfortable way to nurse
Boppy pillow- an easy way to nurse, and great to prop up a baby for special time

There are so many great things out there for babies! It's a wonderful thing to have wonderful products to take care of sweet baby Harper
