And just like that she is ONE!

Wow this past month has been eventful! Harper took her first steps shortly after she turned 11 months and ever since then she has not slowed down! We officially have a toddler! She is practically running!

Over the past month we went to the beach, swam at the pool, had play dates with friends, met Daddy for lunches, had Harper's first birthday party,had her one year old photo shoot, had friends over for dinners, and lots of outside time!

I cannot believe how quickly this year has passed. It was such a blessing to watch Harper change and grow over the past year. She is a sweet little baby and her silly personality comes out more and more each day!

Harper has really started to jabber over the past month her main words are mama, dada (which she usually screeches with excitement) , fish, duu (for duck), baba, and thiiisss. This month Harper started to point at objects and say "thiiiiss?" It is so sweet to see her explore the world and ask questions about things around her. Harper continues to love being a helper. While I am cooking dinner you will find her "rearranging" the Tupperware drawer. She also loves to "fold" laundry...which usually results in her dragging clothes around the living room.

We went to Harper's one year check up and learned she is in the top 100% for height! No wonder she is hanging out of her carseat! We defiantly have a tall girl!

 She is NOT a sweets gal!

 Classic baby with a beer pic! Had to be an uncle who put that there...

 Surrounded by love!

Harper,

We have had so much fun with you over the past year! You are such a sweet little girl who is always smiling. I know we are biased, but you are the worlds best baby! We have loved watching you grow and change. Each milestone has been celebrated in a big way! You bring so much joy to our family and we feel so blessed to be your parents!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

11 Months!

I can NOT believe that Harper will be one in a month! It seems like these summer months have flown by!

Over the past month Harper has spent an evening with Daddy (while Momma got to go to Lady GaGa with the girls!). This month Ryan and I took a vacation to Cancun and Harper stayed with G-ma Wyatt. We had a great few days, but missed our baby like crazy! We came back to a happy, smiling baby! She was definitely loved and taken care of while we were away!

This month has been a busy one! We have had birthday parties, vacations, swim days, company parties, and a lot of playdates! Harper has learned how to clap (with sound!) and point! She loves to point out the window of her playroom at the dogs. She loves to blow raspberries at anyone who will giggle!  She also has mastered "mama" and has said "dada" a few times.She still tries to say Harper, but ends up sounding like "hoppa".  She loves to play peek-a-boo and to be tickled. She has taken a few steps, but is not walking yet. She is constantly standing and trying to climb up on furniture. Her crawl has gotten sooo fast. You cannot look away for a minute! Over the last month she got two top teeth, a total for 4. She still loves to eat and has put those new teeth to work! Daddy continues to make her eggs every morning for breakfast. It is a sweet time I treasure every day.

Overall, this month has been amazing. We enjoy her and her sweet personality everyday. We are looking forward to her pool themed birthday party!

 Once a laundry basket...now her favorite "hiding" place.

 I'm glad Harper has such a hands on auntie!

Play-date with Maycee!

 Little lady is into everything!
