Spish Splash Harper in the Bath

This is going to be one of the posts that if Harper were older and had a date coming over we would show him just to embarrass the heck out of her...I love bath time! So does Harper! Can't say that she likes getting out of the water into the cold-but who does?!

I think I have a water baby

All clean!
I love naked babies...we call it nakey-baby syndrome at our house


Blessing Day January 1st

What a way to start the new year! January 1st Harper Paige was blessed by her daddy. We chose to do it so early because we had all of my family in town and it was the only opportunity we would have to have everyone there. I was so glad they could all be there! Eric, Grandpa Morrish, Grandpa Beal, my dad, Eric's dad, my Uncle David, Eric's brother and brother-in-law-Dustin and Chris, my brother's and brother-in-law-Cameron, Ivan, and Greg all got to participate in the blessing. It was a big day and we are so glad that so many made the effort to come and be with us.


I have a new respect for photographers who take infant pictures...it was next to impossible to get a good picture of her in her dress!
All the Tidwells

Life with Harper Paige

Now that life has finally settled down it's about time that I wrote about the newest addition to our little family! Our little Harper Paige is finally here! She came on December 14, 2011 at 8:48 pm measuring 20.5 inches and weighing in at a whomping 8 lbs 15.8 ounces! It's hard to believe it's almost been a month-time has really flown by and she's already growing so much! I keep telling her to knock it off, but she won't! I guess all baby's have to grow...but I am just loving her being so little right now!

I don't really feel like recounting the whole labor story-let's just say (as all mom's do) that it was the hardest but most amazing thing I've ever done! I figure I better post some pictures...

The magic of epidurals...not only let's mom sleep but let's dad sleep too...
Our last picture alone together...
This is the only picture I wanted to post post-delivery...her head was so bad because of the vacuum it makes me a little sad it looked so painful!
Me and my little girl!

Our little family...
Daddy went with her to the nursery for her clean up

They brought her back to me in a giant stocking! SO CUTE!

We are having so much fun with her. She has really been the best little baby ever! She is so happy and healthy- we are so lucky to be her parents!
