Hippity, Hoppity Easter's on it's way

Our church has an Easter Egg Hunt every year.  Harper was very excited to participate!  Last year she was cooking in my belly (only to make her entrance only 3 short weeks after Easter), silly girl, has her own schedule!

Don't tell but we snuck in a few minutes early...Momma wanted her Photo Opp! :)

Chloe wanted to make sure that Harper knew just what to do!  All Harper really wanted to do was shake the eggs and put them in her mouth.

Harper did great!  Obviously she really didn't understand the concept of putting the eggs in her basket, but hey she's 10 months old what do you expect?!  I just love my little boo (yes that is what Michael and I call her, silly I know, but we are her parents we can do as we please) she may get tired but she never just falls apart (until we are in the car) she is always so good and just takes it all in. 

My office-mate has a little girl just 6 weeks younger than Harper (although Reagan looks older!) I love that the girls are so close in age and will be in the same class this Fall for school!  I hope they become great friends!

I know it was an overload of pictures but hey, my subject is pretty darn cute!

Happy Easter!

Happy 21st Birthday to Auntie Ninna!

Harper loves her Auntie Ninna and she wants to wish her a HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!

Peak a boo!

Playing Peek a boo with daddy!

Her laugh is the best thing I've ever heard!

Why don't you just crawl?!

Harper's latest thing is pulling her knees underneath her and sitting herself back up!  Why doesn't she just use her knees and crawl?!  Oh no, that would be exactly what mommy and daddy want :-/  Stinker!

If you're happy and you know it...

Harper has learned a new "trick" (as Auntie Allison calls them!).  She doesn't clap with you but she will be there in NO time!!!

10 Months

10 months!  I say it every month, but I can't believe it!

Here is what you are up to:

-You weight 19 pounds, I'm unsure of your length.
-You are in size 3 diapers
-You are fully in 9 month clothes (the footed jammies are a little long, but you'll catch up)
-The time change was good to you :) you are still going to be by 8 BUT you will sleep now until 8:30 (a few days even 10!)
-I was wrong in saying you would be crawling by 10 months!  You are soooo close though.  You just need to get your knees underneath you.  Your daddy found you in your crib today on your knees trying to pull yourself up...This momma isn't ready for that!

-You went to your first swimming lessons this week and by the video in the previous post it is safe to say you had a BLAST!

-You are trying to drop your bottles...which in a few months will be great when you can drink milk, but you still need to get your nutrients from your bottles!  I offer you a 7oz bottle when you wake up and before bed (I used to do after nap but you would have maybe an ounce and you were off to other things!) and between the 14oz I'm lucky if you take 10 :(

-We had our first official family pictures taken and you were FANTASTIC!!!!

-You say 'dada' all the time and I will say 'mama' when you say 'dada' and you just smile big at me :/

-You still think Chloe is the funniest thing!  She really gets you laughing and she just wants you to be her baby doll.

-Papa and Noni bought you a swing for Valentine's Day and we hung it up over the garage and you are a little unsure of it, BUT you loved the swing at the park when we went a few days ago.

-Still no teeth, but you are gumming everything very very well, it doesn't make me quiet as nervous.

-You LOVED avacado's

-You have had Cheerios, you did great!

-I had to spike your water with a little Apple Juice to get you to drink out of the Sippy cup...stinker!

-We have taken you out of the bumbo in the bath tub and just filled it with a little bit of water and let you splash around...you love that!

Harper Jane-

You are the light of our lives and we are so over the moon in love with you!!  

Love, Mom and Dad

Diaper Dolphins

We enrolled Harper in Swimming Lessons.  Her class is called Diaper Dolphins, there are 5 other little kids in her class (only 1 boy!  Who I actually grew up with his Daddy).  To say she had fun, is an understatement!!!  She loved splashing around.  I'm not sure if she was showing off for her Daddy or her Noni but she sure had a GREAT time!  I'll leave you with his little video.  It's kinda long, but you see how excited she is!!

We love Ninna!

Harper and I attended Evan's 1st Birthday this morning.  Evan is the Nephew of one of Hanna's friends.  He is adorable and raked in the goodies for his big day!!

So we took this opportunity to take a few pictures of us girls, dressed nicer than usual :)

I can't wait for the summer to come and for Hanna to be home more and see how her and Harper's relationship evolves!!  She sure does love her Ninna!!!
