Thank you, thank you, thank you Tim for taking the most beautiful pictures of the kids (and to Sara and Nolan for entertaining Coleman)!  Every one of them is our favorite, you are so talented!

Newborn pictures

Too big?

Being a big boy is tough sometimes...look at all this fun baby stuff that you can't use anymore!  Mom and dad said I never liked this swing as a baby but I sure would like to be able to use it now.  Oh well, I guess pushing Campbell in it will be my new job now.

Sushi

Here is our first sushi outing as a foursome.  Coleman was showing me how to use chopsticks.  I didn't participate in any of the festivities but it sure sounded like fun.  I chose to nap through lunch but maybe next time.

New J's

Check out the new J's Daddo picked out for me.  Mom has to wash them quiet often because I want to wear them all the time now--I even request them when getting ready for bed and have to be bribed with fun shirts in the morning to get out of them.  As you can see in the picture below I have my "soccer shoes" (that is what I call these) on getting ready to go play outside.  This is my favorite outfit!

One week old

A week ago I made my debut to the world!  I love being at home--mommy and daddo tell me I am a such a great eater and sleeper.  I sleep most of the day but I am getting more play time in as the week goes by.  I am a good sleeper at night too.  Hey what can I say?  Girls just know what to do to make their families happy.  Can't wait to see what the next week brings--keep you posted!

Remember this guy?  Coleman has passed on the growing wizard (lizard) to me.  What a great brother.  Check in every month to see how much I have grown!

Stretching out so you can see how big I am.

First Bath

Campbell got her first bath today and I was there to show her the ropes.  You see I have been getting baths for quite some time now so I am considered an expert at these things.  She did a great job.  I think she is going to be a bath time lover like me.  I can't wait until we can have bath time together.  What a treat!

Not quite sure about getting out of the bath though.  Brrr cold!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Daddo day to the best guy around!  Thanks for being such a wonderful, loving and fun dad.  We couldn't ask for more!  Hugs and Kisses.

Happy Father's Day to everyone.  We hope you had a great day!

Sleeping Beauty

Just getting ready to take an afternoon snooze.  Could you please cover me up?  I'm a little chilly!

Umbilical cord almost off...

Hi there!

Please turn the flash off!

Awwwhh...much better.

And I'm out.

Swim lessons

I tagged along with Coleman to swim lessons this week.  What a treat!  I got to sit under the shade and catch some zzzz's with mommy while the boys swam away.  When will it be my turn?

Big Helper

Bringing my sister home has been a lot of work!  Lots of deepers (diapers) to be changed, eating to be done and swaddles to be completed.  I have been there to help mom and dad with it all.  I think it is time for a nap!  I do love to snuggle with her and share my things though.  I am such a great helper.

Introducing...

Campbell Jane Harger

We are home and doing well...keep you posted on all the fun changes and stories to come!

Coming home...

Hello world!  I packed my bags and headed home to see my house and meet my puppies.  Grammie and Coleman were there to welcome me.  I was so excited to play with everyone.  I slept most of the day but Coleman and I got some time right before his bed time.  We are not quite on the same schedule yet but give me time!

She's Here!

My new sister is here! Dr. Landherr called our house yesterday and decided it was time for me to be a big brother. Mom and Dad went to the hospital at 8pm last night and by 12:35 am my new sister was here. She was born on Tuesday, June 16 th weighing 7 lbs. 1 oz and measuring 19 and a half inches long. She has lots of dark hair (I think even more than I had!) and blue eyes. She already enjoys eating and just hanging out with her new family. I have been such a great big brother so far. I was excited to meet her today and I couldn't stop touching her feet and hands. She is so soft! As I left the hospital I said "Bye little sister!". I am already getting the hang of this. We will keep you posted on the name...it is down to a few choices. We like each one so much, we may have to do a coin toss! Hugs and Kisses. Love, big brother Coleman

Already sticking her tongue out!
First bath--she loved getting her hair washed.

Proud big brother!

The new family of four.

The Pack Rat

For quite some time now I have been developing my inner pack rat.  I love bringing a new friend to bed with me each night...BUT don't even think about taking one of the old ones away.  I am now up to a St. Bernard, four monkeys, Leo and Rocket (from Little Einsteins), Nemo, a glo worm, a pillow and my two La-La's (blankets).  I know--you must be thinking where do I fit? Good question!  It is a tight squeeze but for some reason every morning my bed is almost empty...the stuffed animal fairy must visit me through the night!  Don't worry though I take my pack with me to the couch each morning and after each nap to let them know how much I love them.  Friends are fun!

Today's adventure

Today I took Grammies (she is now plural--this is my new name for her) to visit some of my favorite places.  First we went to Barnes and Noble, got a coffee (milk for me) and headed to the train table.  Next we read books, transportation and number books are my favorite this week.  Finally we ended the morning at the indoor play park complete with slides, a stagecoach, lizards, turtles and all kinds of vehicles to drive.  That's my kind of day!

Swimming lessons

Here are some pics from my first lesson of the season.  This year I get to do them with daddo!  I think some guy time together over the summer is going to be so fun.  Miss Judy is my instructor and she is so nice.  We worked on blowing bubbles, walking down the steps, swimming back and forth between Miss Judy and dad and floating on my back.  Watch out!  I am going to be doing laps in no time.

Update

No baby yet...I think mom and dad are pulling my chain about this whole thing.  Mom feels good and we still have little adventures everyday.  We are staying busy and hopefully soon little baby number two will be here.  Grammie is here to help out and the bags are packed...we are way too organized.  Harger's should never be this ahead of the game.  Meanwhile swim lessons start tomorrow--can't wait!  Hugs.

The tutu

My cousin Lilly sent my baby sister her tutu's that she didn't use anymore.  I thought I  would test them out.  They fit me perfectly!  I think dance is in my future.

Goggles

Always wear protective eye wear while swimming!  Oh and Grammie is here--what a treat!

Arizona days...

What a great Saturday...breakfast at Torino's, farmer's market and some gardening at the local nursery.  What monkey could ask for more?  And how can  you ever get tired of that view?

The Simple Things

A bouncy ball from the grocery store brings me so much pleasure.  Dad was weak and let me take it home--he is the best!  Don't you like the price tag that is stuck in my hair?  You know it is time for a hair cut when everything from the store comes home in it.

I held this ball in a death grip all the way home--you never know when you could hit a bump!

Helmets

I just love helmets and when we go to Dick's there are so many to choose from.  They may be on the big side but give me time I'll grow into it!

This might not be the best color for me...
