What a Ham!

Well I'm baaaackkk!! FINALLY!! Maybe I can get some free time to blog! Well Miss Harper is growing, growing, growing, and busy, busy, busy! She has her hands in everything and can stop moving! She took her first "real" step yesterday and can stand alone for a good 20 seconds...its so awesome! She's a machine when it comes to her walker...she literally runs! She can say "baby", "Daddy", "hi" and "uh-oh". SO CUTE! We're planning her first birthday party, can you believe it?? We're only about 3 weeks away. Enjoy the pics below.


Playing on the back porch and enjoying some rays!


And she's off!!!

Coming Soon....

I promise I will have tons of pictures from Christmas morning soon! Harper had such a fun time, she was overwhelmed and definitely slept good that night! She got a swing set and lots and lots of toys to fill up the living room. I promise, pictures within a day or two!

Wrap and Unwrap

So I've been trying to wrap Christmas presents while Harper is either gone or asleep...but seriously, what's the point??? She crawls right over to the Christmas tree and unwraps them. Is there really a need to wrap them? I think not, but for the joys of Christmas...I will do so and I will smile and laugh every time my child tears open wrapping paper or unpacks a neatly done Christmas gift bag!

cleaning day..or days..

So my main goal for Monday was to clean house...however, I finished on WEDNESDAY! Since when did cleaning house become a 3-day job?!?!?! I will tell you when...when my child learned to get around......EVERYWHERE! As much as I love the fact that she can crawl and pull up, it sure does make getting things done a big headache! I had to entertain my child in every way possible. It was like the moment I thought, "Okay she's happy, I can really get to work..here would come the water works." Then I'd get her down for a nap and I'd think okay I have an hour to an hour and a half, but NOOOOO she only wanted to sleep for 40 minutes that day..grrr.. So needless to say our house is clean, but instead of feeling happy and soaking in the cleanness, I was more stressed out than when I began! Oh well, I know I'll get the hang of this soon...its only been 9 months (next Saturday). HA!

Enjoy the pics of me entertaining her during my cleaning days....As you can tell, she has different outfits on...proof it took a few days!

Day One In the high chair with spatula and spoon. Entertainment!

Day One-Drinking a bottle while laying on her favorite lady bug pillow from Cousins Brad, Shelly and Karen

Day 2-Playing with Mommy's Plastic or not easily breakable necklaces...

Day 3-Back in the high chair with her spoon spatula and some snacks!!

First time sick

Well Harper is FINALLY sick. It only took 8 1/2 months, but the time is here. However, my child does not react to sickness like normal kids. Nope, she is still rolling around, smiling, laughing and dragging her snot with her everywhere she goes! She's on her first prescription drug and is handling everything like a champ! Although its not something I want her to go through, I'm glad she can handle it!
