mommy's aunt kathy and cousin amy came to meet little harper on monday and had lunch with us and nana. harper got to meet her second cousin and amy's daughter, gianna. gianna was adorable and such a good girl with harper! it was so great spending the day with them.

harper and mommy drove down with aunt heather, ethan and griffin to have lunch with daddy at work. after lunch, we visited the toledo zoo. it rained for the first hour and we dodged it by touring the indoor exhibits, then the sun finally came out and we got to enjoy the rest of the animals. the boys loved sitting on either side of harper in the car, attending to her every cry, as well as pushing her stroller around. they are such a big help and so sweet with their little cousin.
august 17th- harper is one month old today! we can't believe how fast this month has gone by. she continues to change and grow on a daily basis, and spends much more time during the day awake and alert. we've seen her smile, but have been unable to capture it on film yet. she is now up to 7 pounds, 3 ounces from her doctor's visit last wednesday and though she's still tiny, a few of her clothes are fitting better. we were concerned about acid reflux, but it appears to be mild enough and not in need of any intervention right now.
the petrous household has been getting some much needed zzz's- sunday night, harper slept for 6 hours straight and last night, it was 7 hours! we are certain this is only short-lived, but we are loving the extra shut eye and counting our blessings while it lasts. here are some of the latest harper photos.
