It was Harper and Dawson's LUCKY day because they both had to go to the doctor for shots!
and LUCKY for me - I got to take both of them.
Harper was NOT happy to be at the doctor but her pediatrician calmed her right down and she just smiled and cooed for him. She got a really good report. She's 12 lbs now and in the 75% percentile for both weight and height so she's just a normal girl! She is right on step if not ahead on all development milestones so that is a huge praise!and LUCKY for me - I got to take both of them.
(P.S. Ya'll are funny - I DO think our pediatrician is single!! I'm just saying..........................) :-)
Yesterday and today have been GORGEOUS spring days! Yesterday Harper and Dawson and I got out and took TWO walks and in between we went for a ride around town. We were all very happy and loved it. Is Harper a cool chick in her shades or what???
She slept most of today so we didn't go for a walk but hopefully we can get back out tomorrow.
I just love this little dress - I couldn't wait for her to wear it!
Here are some prayer requests for ya'll to lift up tonight........

That dress of Harpers is cute, but her in the sunglasses is even cuter! Happy St. Patty's day. We are going for our 2 month shots tomorrow and are very nervous!
That baby is so stinkin' cute!
Thanks for the prayer request for Darren and Charity! Unfortunately their little girl, Miley Jane, passed away Monday night. She had a Grade 4 Intravesticular Hemmorage in her brain last week. Ty Michael continues to be a fighter and is doing pretty well. Darren, Charity and baby Ty can use lots of prayers!! They have a long road ahead!
On a happier note, little Harper is so cute in her little Irish dress!!

Green never looked so good!
I'm loving the Harper Monogrammed dress... It's too cute... Also loving the tres tres chic sunglasses. She makes fashion look so easy, but I'm sure we all have YOU to thank for that.
NICU babies seem to always know when they're going to the doctor's, it must be the smell... But hey if I had a cute doctor grinning at me like that I'd smile too! *chuckles*
Prayers on full force for those families!
This was a GREAT post, Kelly! I enjoyed seeing a pic of the fam all decked out in their GREEN!
Y'all are too cute in your green! You look great, Kelly!!! I love, love the sunglasses! I think Brody might need a pair. Well, a blue pair! He doesnt really know what to think about that bright sun when we go walking.

Hi Kelly- The pictures of Harper are absolutely adorable. I hope you don't mind me mentioning this but I wanted to send you a link to some research on Bichon health and new vaccine protocols. http://www.bichonhealth.org/Health.asp
My friend is the health chair for the Bichon Club of America and they strongly advise, along with the American Animal Hospital Assn against getting annual vaccinations. There are updated vaccine protocols on the above website. There is recent research showing vaccines lasting 7+ years. Overvaccination can cause lots of health issues including allergies, diabetes, autoimmune issues, etc. We do titer testing on our 2 bichons and haven't had to vaccinate them for the past few years because they still have immunity shown in the titer test. Just wanted to pass along this info. Many vets still continue with the annual vaccines even though it is widely known that the core vaccines are good for at least 3 years because it generates a lot of revenue for them.
Looks like none of the Stamps family got pinched today. How cute all in the green and the sunglasses are so sweet. I will add those families to the list to pray for .
Blessings,
Linda
I love the picture of Harper with her Doctor! How cute! And the dress is adorable, I might add...
I love the picture of Harper and her doctor. He must be great--he looks like he loves babies! It's so great to watch her growing like gangbusters! Enjoy these days, they go too fast!
Harper looks so cute with her shades on!!! :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day! You all look so cute in your green, especially sweet Harper in her adorable dress! Glad she had a good doctor visit. Praise God that she is doing so well. Love & blessings from NC!
Thank you everyone for your prayers for baby Rebekah. We so appreciate your support and encouragement!

Oh what a list today! Heartbreaking! I HATE the trisomies...all of them.
Did I know you knew Renee? Or did someone just give you her site? She's an amazing lady!
Praying!

Kelly, you look great!
Those glasses...too adorable!
Oh, I love her little dress! She's such a cute little thing! She looks so soft and round in that picture with her pediatrician...just makes ya want to kiss her all over, I'm sure!! So glad y'all got to get out and take some walks. Doesn't that feel soooo good to get outside?! And a girl's gotta wear shades when the sun's always shining on her! ;o)
What a wonderful doctor it looks like you have!
Love the pic of all three of you...so cute!
Truly, your blog has brought me closer to my faith. Mostly in the simple way of praying. Thank you for the reminders of the power of prayer!
I would swear that Harper gets cuter every day! I have two boys and I'm a definitely feeling the need for a baby girl after seeing all the adorable outfits and hairbows Miss Harper is sporting!
i love harpers sunglasses! too cute!
Harper is sooooooooo cute!!! I love her facial expressions!!
Kelly, If you have contact with the couple that delivered the triplets, could you direct them to the Triplet Connection? There is a bereaved forum where they can get support. Also, there are a couple of families who have delivered at 24 w so know the steps that the NICU tango can take. They do have a very long road.
Thanks for adding the Creative Blogs on. Maybe they were not missing like I thought. Love them!
I am very excited. My daughter, who had a miscarriage is expecting. Praying.
Harper is so precious! Love the dress! And the shades ~ Hollywood in the makin'!!!
YAY! she is so cute! thanks for posting about the silent auction.renee is a friend of mine in real life and she is a wonderful person and will be so grateful! sorry for no caps...baby in my other arm...i am sure you understand.
She is by far, the cutest little thing i've ever laid eyes on! (And I have 3 gorgeous boys!!)
Truly a miracle baby!!
Thank you so much for sharing her with all of us.
Always in my prayers,
C.
Lover her outfit! She could have been in my wedding! Wait...technically she was in my wedding.
And all the girls at work love the shades!
Harper is one stylish girl! How adorable...she is just beautiful Kelly! I can't wait to see the dresses you have ready for her for the summer!!
Cute family St. Patty's Day pic!
Harper's doc looks a bit like a bald Jim Carrey from the side..LOL! Great news about her report!
The sunglasses made me smile this morning! You guys are so adorable... and I'm glad that everyone did well getting their shots. :-)
Harper is getting so big! Love that green and zebra dress! Makes me want a little girl!!!!!!
You look great! It took me a lot longer to lose all my baby weight! You did great!!
Your family is beautiful!!!! Thanks for the past weeks of unbeleivable inspiration as you dealt with your trials!!! You have truly inspired me with your faith!
Kelly - thanks for adding the prayer requests for those strong families! You are such a wonderful, selfless person!
And...where did you get that super cute dress Harper has on?!
LOVE IT!!
Oh my gosh - LOVE LOVE LOVE the sunglasses. She is too cute. Dawson is looking like he loves the car ride.
Kelly - I love your blog. I have 3 little girls, love affordable fashion and love, love, love Sonic. Harper pictures are the highlight of the day. Glad that she is so healthy!
Jennifer
Great pics... She is TOO cute!
The sleeping was probably becuase of the shots. My daughter did the same thing after her 2 month shots. Every time after that though, she was fine.
Amy
Hey Kelly I was wondering we are still pretty new to this area(Bentonville) and I have had a real hard time finding a DR for my children so I was wondering what group do you use?????
I love it that you got Harper to wear sunglasses, too cool!
Love that cute little green dress!
Also, I found another site to add to your shopping sites. I heard about it on Access Hollywood. I'm putting a link to a page that you might enjoy!
Check it out ladies! I'm still figuring out how to use it, but it has GREAT deals on there!

Hey Kelly - great to hear Harper is doing so well!!! A couple quick notes - I am a child passenger safety technician - I know that picture of H in her car seat was when you were going for a walk, but I just wanted to mention in passing that the harness is too loose for riding in the car - to determine if your harness is tight enough, you perform the pinch test at the collarbone - basically if you can pinch the webbing together horizontally, you need to tighten things up a bit more until you cannot make that pinch.
I wonder if you would also mention the fundraiser that we are running right now for the foundation - details are here - http://bombedier.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-car-seat-raffle-for-kyle-david.html. The Kyle David Miller Foundation donates high weight capacity harnessing car seats to low income families across North America - we have been able to assist approx 500 families since our inception in December 2006. Thank you so much!!!
I love Harpers sunglasses! TO CUTE!!! AWWWW~ you guys are such a cute family! love the green!~ Happy saint patricks day!!
I'm sure you have heard about Red Envelope Day on March 31 but in case you haven't check out my blog for informtion. You have so many readers I thought if you wanted to mention it on your blog we could get this message out
I love the glasses!
P.S. Your baby is just beautiful. I can't wait to check and she what she is wearing each day.
Kelly, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this comment. But I'm new to the whole blogging thing, so please forgive me if it isn't. Anyways, I wanted to ask you and all of your faithfull followers to please pray for my fiance's niece, Kaitlin. Kaitlin is the most precious little fourth grade girl who, up until about a year ago, was active and extremely atheletic. Now, a year later and after being diagnosed with a very rare form of lou gehrig's disease, Kaitlin is confined to a wheel chair and has a hard time even speaking. It's broken all of our hearts. And yet, Kaitlin, the one who is actually suffering from the disease, remains happy and in love with life. Please, please pray for Kailin and her family. God can and does work miracles! Thank you!!!!
I just love Harper's St Paddy's Day outfit, so precious! And she is one cool chick in her shades!
Thanks you for sharing these prayer requests! They will all be on my mind and in my prayers!
Love the cute green dress and the pink sunglasses. She's such a diva! Oh, and you're pediatrician is really gorgeous. Maybe if I'm ever out your way you could introduce me?
Seriously.... so precious! I love her in her cute little shades! She's rockin' out! =) And her green dress w/the little zebra print bows, adorable!!! I just want to give her a hug! Ah!
I'm glad to hear she's doing so well & that she's healthy as ever! YAY!!! Enjoy the sunshine! Our God is so good!!! Amen!
~Krista
Kelly,
So fun to keep up with you and yours. We are also in beautiful NWA and lovin' this weather - although is does make me want to NOT be so pale. Oh well. Love that Harper's has such an amazing testimony already:) Thank you for continually reaching out to others in need of prayer - it is just how the body of Christ should act. Finally, love that you mentioned your pediatrician - ours too, and we love him! We have 3, expecting our 4th, and he is terrific with each of them. Take care of yourself! Melanie
Oh I just the family picture!! Ya'll all look so good in your green. Although I have a feeling I would not have been able to resist pinching H's little cheeks if I had come across ya'll - green or no green. That girl is irresistible!
Glad everyone got a good report from their doctors! And FYI, marrying me off to nice, AR peditrician is a great way to have me move to your town. I'm just saying. :-)
Look at her in her sunglasses!!
So cute. All of u wearing green for St Patricks :) Harper is sooo cute :).
LOL actually I was thinking that the dr and Harper had the same profile......LOL
She is adorable.
WOW! Cute parents, cute baby girl, cute dog and a cute doctor! Y'all are too much!
Prayed for you and Harper when she was born and so great to check back in once in a while and see how absolutely BEAUTIFUL your growing, healthy baby girl is!!!! Praise God who gives to us abundantly beyond all we could ask or imagine!!!
Harper is way too cool in those shades.
And, I am laughing so hard because before I even saw your comment about the doctor, my first thought was, "Is he single?" Cutie. And totally kidding. Well, kinda! :)
:) I'm sorry I haven't commented on this until now! I've had it saved in my reader until I had time to sit and breathe. Thank you SO much for posting about Kellsey's auction! You've helped a LOT!!!
I love the green family picture! You all look so cute! :)
Love the sunglasses and the outfit:) Your dog is so cute, I used to have one that looked just like him.
Her outfit is adorable!! I checked your blog when Harper was still in the hospital. So wonderful to see her home with Mom and Dad!!! Blessings from Kalamazoo, MI 49004
