I was laying in my bed this morning with Harmony, and I realized that I never officially told the story as to why we chose the name Harmony. So here's the scoop:
Back when Mike and I were dating, Mike wrote me a poem for Valentine's Day called "The Sound I Have Waited For", and the poem said that I was "The harmony to his melody" and how together we made a beautiful song. Later he took that poem and wrote me a song for the night he proposed. The bridge to that song says this:
And as we get older
And our steps are slower
Harmony will grow stronger
We will sing the same tune
Harmony is another part in our love song- and she makes it so much richer and beautiful than I ever imagined. We love her more and more every day, and are truly is awe of the life we made!
So there you have it- the reason she is named Harmony. Her middle name is Joy, after Mike's sister, Alyson Joy.
So-
This week Harmony had her first official bath! Her belly button is finally healed, and we no longer had to give her sponge baths. I was a little nervous about doing it on my own, and since I didn't have my mom in close proximity, I called on her pseudo grandma, Linda Cordle, who is my pastor's wife. She came over, showed me the ropes, and Harmony did awesome. She really didn't know what to think of it, but she didn't cry at all. She scowled, as you can see in the pictures, but no tears were shed.
Doesn't she look so big!
Not really sure what she thinks about this whole bath thing...
She looks like mike when she scowls like that!
All clean and warm again. Big girl!

John would scream the entire time he had his clothes off, so his baths were really fun!
