Happy Birthday Uncle Christopher!

Tuesday is Uncle Christopher's birthday (26!) so Harper wanted to send a special message. Actually, she wanted to eat the special message, which was funny until I noticed she had purple permanent marker all over her mouth. I don't think the green baby books advocate this kind of behavior, but you gotta live a little. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you!

PawPaw!

PawPaw came to visit Harper this past Saturday. We had lots of fun playing and hope he comes to visit again very soon!

I'm wondering when the fascination with the tongue is going to end??

A few more firsts

Harper has experienced a few more "firsts" in the last few weeks. Super Bowl, Farmer's Market, first birthday party (not ours, Sophie's). In addition to the fun stuff, we've also had our first ear infections (plural. both ears at once.) and first major diaper rash. I'll spare you the sight of that. Harper is feeling a lot better, though. We're working on rolling over and sitting up...neither of which we've accomplished just yet. No rush. Mommy doesn't want these things to happen too quickly!

She didn't want to share her Mommy!Harper taking in the sights at the Farmers Market. She helped Daddy pick out some pretty pansies for our front yard.

Harper all dressed up before Sophie's birthday party. There were lots of big kids there and they even had a bounce house. Harper was mesmerized. Please note the rare occasion when I can get her to smile for the camera. She is usually all smiles until I point the camera at her. We are working on knowing when to ham it up.
