For the first couple of months after Harper was born, here is what evenings at our house look like: Dane and Aidan go to bed at about 8 or 8:30 while I give Harper a bath and try to keep her awake. Then I turn Harper over to Brandon and go to bed myself at around 9, knowing that Little Miss will be waking up for a bottle anytime between 4 and 5:30am.
9pm marks the beginning of what has come to be known as Daddy-Harper time. A time of smiles and tickling, of snuggling and mediocre TV watching.
A time of spitting up on Daddy's shorts.

Why is this underlined?? BLOGGER HATES ME!!
Sometimes they practice sarcastic facial expressions, a skill that will come in handy when she's a teenager:

But for the last week or so, Harper has been sleeping through the night, waking up at about 7 am with a smile on her face. Which means that soon she, too, will be going to bed at 8:30, and her mommy may just get to stay up a bit later at night like a normal person and watch mediocre TV with her husband.
Sorry, Harper girl. You don't get to be this awake and happy at 10:30 pm for much longer. So enjoy it while it lasts.
