I let my Mommy and Daddy push me around in the stroller for a while. I need to keep my peeps happy.





Here I am going for a ride in the car. My Mommy and Daddy make jokes about some movie called Driving Miss Daisy, but if it doesn't have babies in it then it is probably boring.

Driving Lessons

Back it in slowly.

Use your mirrors!

How do I work the radio?

How about the horn?

I Love Reading

I will read my books anywhere. I will even read while I am on the potty. Sometimes it helps me concentrate. Sometimes it just makes me laugh. I don't even mind that someone was taking my picture because my book is THAT good!

It's Friday The 13th!! AHHHHH!

These pictures were taken at the beginning of April, but I thought I would save them until today. Here I am pretending to be in a horror movie. Daddy was trying to scare us. I yelled really loud to warn Mommy. That Daddy is such a joker.

p.s. Mommy made this same face today when she learned we are supposed to get another big snow storm at the end of this weekend. I just laughed at her. Nobody can do that face like I can.

My Daddy Made Me Do It

First Daddy put me in this very weird swinging bucket. It was cold to hang on to, but I have to admit is was kind of fun. Then he made me do a commando crawl through a tunnel. That wasn't quite as fun, but at least I could see a light at the end of it... (pun was most certainly intended.) Then he made me slide down a slide. He couldn't take any pictures of that because he had to make sure I didn't fly off and hurt myself because Mommy would be pretty mad.

In conclusion, I think Daddy had a good time. Yeah, ok... I guess I had a pretty good time too, but please don't tell Daddy about bungee jumping.

Happy Easter!

I had fun today. My mom tried all day to get pictures of me looking cute and Easter-like. I didn't play along. These were her final attempt before I went to bed. Ha ha, Mommy! You can't keep tights or fancy shoes on me, I will only wear rabbit ears on my head and socks on my hands. I thought it had a more authentic bunny feel this way, plus I really like to have socks on my hands.

Guess What!

It snowed last night and it is still snowing today! I thought it looked really pretty when I woke up this morning. Mommy was saying bad words in a quiet way so I wouldn't hear, but I still did. Mommy said something like, "How can something so pretty make me feel so depressed?" I don't really know what she was talking about, but when she said she was going back to bed I decided I better follow her.

p.s. I *heart* my bum.

I Like Oranges

Greetings one and all! I wanted to let you know that yesterday the social worker came to visit for something called a post-placement. My mom dressed me cute and combed my hair to make me look extra happy. So I thought it would be really funny to have this really long crying spell. Boy, I cried so hard that Mommy and Daddy were squirming in their seats! They blamed it on teething so I played along. Mommy finally gave me a frozen waffle to see if that would stop me from crying and it did. I also got to eat that whole frozen waffle. I am a really good actress. The social worker didn’t seemed bothered by it so Mommy and Daddy felt better, but then I pretended that I was shy and I turned my face away when the social worker looked at me. I am such a stinker. I guess everything was fine though because the social worker said I looked like I was in excellent health and that I was very attached to Mommy and Daddy.
All that acting yesterday made me really hungry though. I ate so much Daddy laughed and said, “I just don’t know how she is eating all that.” This is what I ate yesterday: a bowl of Cheerios, an orange, some watermelon, a handful of Cheerios, that frozen waffle Mommy gave me, some coffee cake from Mommy’s plate while she was talking, a bowl of squash, some freeze dried corn, a piece of whole wheat toast, vanilla custard, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and part of a hamburger. After that I had a bath and was ready to go to bed. It was probably good that I went to bed because I had to make sure to wake up extra early today just to keep Mommy and Daddy on their toes.

Hey Everybody! It's Me Again!

Wow, who knew this blogging stuff could be so cool. I can't believe Mommy didn't teach me how to do this sooner.

Today I woke up with a spectacular case of bed head. I think it is quite charming.




Here is me showing Daddy what I am eating for breakfast.





Here is me offering Daddy a drink of water.

Here is me thinking twice about offering Daddy a drink because he always eats my food.

Here is me thinking Mommy really looks like she needs a drink.

My Mommy's Brains Are Mush

Hi. This is Harper. I have had to take over posting to this blog lately. If I left it up to my Mommy nothing new would ever show up. She keeps saying things like her brains have turned to mush and has the words to Pineapple Princess stuck in her head all day long. I don't see anything wrong with that though because it is my favorite song. I let Mommy listen to it over and over again. Sometimes she smiles like she is in pain, but she really likes it. Really. Anyway, I will be posting a couple of items for you to look at since my Mommy is a slacker.

This is me hanging with Grandpa Lew


This is me looking at babies. I love them.

This is me giving my caterpillar chair a snuggle. I love my chair as much as I love babies and the Pineapple Princess song.

Daddy's Toys

This is me trying to play with Daddy's toys.

This is me when my Daddy is telling me, "No touch."

This is me when I am trying to look cute
so I can play with them anyway.

Thanks Jenny!

Aunt Jenny gave me these cool new rain boots, and a raincoat! I love them. They are a little big for me right now, but I will be able to wear them for a very long time. She also gave me an umbrella that matches, but I can't hold on to that and people's fingers right now. Jenny also gave me some pretty rad Converse sneakers in a very stylish chocolate color. I would show you a picture of them too, but my mommy hasn't taken a picture of them yet. I really should get after my mommy about things like that.

Finally!

Well, Harper walked for the very first time today. We managed to catch it on video and now you can see it too! There has been no editing to the video so it may be a bit boring in places and Harper pretty much looks like an intoxicated sailor, but these were her actual first unassisted steps. Ever. Mommy and Daddy are pretty proud and truthfully a bit relieved. We thought we were going to have to send her to Walking Camp this summer.

Finally!
Because she is really starting to get heavy.

Daddy's Little Girl

Usually Harper likes to sit on her caterpillar chair and snuggle a stuffed animal. Yesterday she wanted to sit with a financial calculator...
