<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> showing her muscles</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">still LOVES to sing, her teachers told us that they had to stop playing Christmas music at naptime because she would sing the entire time and not take a nap</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">loves her baby, though she has many baby dolls she prefers a certain one and prefers for "baby" to have no clothes on and be called "baby"</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">still obsessed with purses and bags....whenever we go somewhere her purse and her baby must go with her. She wants to take them inside the grocery store, etc. I always tell her that she has to keep up with them and she does a good job with that. She carries a big old purse of mine on her shoulder and baby in her hand. The purse contains things like an old cell phone, play groceries, and other trinkets.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">favorite TV show is Doc McStuffins on Disney (a little girl who fixes toys who come to life)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">a few weeks ago her teachers informed me that Harper cries when the other girls in her class go to dance. She says she doesn't have a "bag," meaning a dance bag. So, we will be starting her in dance in January just so she will have a "bag."...I can't wait!!!!</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">says "yea Harper" or "yea daddy" after anyone does something</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">went through a little phase a few weeks ago of her saying "uh huh" instead of "yes" DROVE ME CRAZY!!!! Thank goodness it has pretty much stopped</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">about a month ago, she decided that she was scared of the bathtub...so now she will only take showers and she loves them. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">we took a side of the crib down in early November, she loves to crawl into her bed now, keeping her in the bed didn't last very long. one time I found her sleeping on the floor in the middle of the night she will also occasionally get out when she wakes up from her nap</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">she is obsessed with Aubie and Auburn...wants to wear her Aubie shirt to bed and asks us if we are going to Auburn tomorrow</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">stubborn and hard headed..."Harper do it" and "I do it"...wants to do everything by herself...get dressed, brush hair, pick out clothes, fix lunch, crawl into car and car seat, everything...</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">will not sit still except when she wants to cuddle or "hold you" - definitely a busybody</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">has an incredible sense of direction, she knows (without us telling her) when we are headed to church, school, chilck fil a, or any of the other places we go to a lot simply by the turns we make in the car</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">gets super excited when she sees images of Santa on TV...jumping up and down screaming excited</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">started a few weeks ago saying "sure" instead of "yes" when you ask her a question</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">also started asking "why" and "but why" over and over and over...</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">she also always carries her phone with her in her purse, she ends every pretend phone conversation with "talk a minute." I guess that is her version of "talk to you later"</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We are trying the whole potty training thing this week. She has been using the potty for months now, but we just never took a few days for the whole potty training bootcamp. Honestly the fall is just really busy for us and the thought of having to use stadium toilets and other public bathrooms every weekend just grossed me out. She has done well so far and the cheese puff bribes are a treat for her. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In the past few weeks she we have seen a big change in her imagination play. Before she would do pretend play with her babies and in her kitchen. Now, she might suddenly jump on a pillow and say "hurry daddy you better get on the boat."</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We still have not overcome our fear of the bathtub and only want to take showers </span></li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Whenever we pass Target or Publix in the car she starts saying "buggy, buggy" She loves to ride in the buggy at the store. Of course the car buggy is her favorite at Publix. I made the mistake of taking her during the busieset time and of course all the car buggies were gone and she pitched a royal fit as I tried to put her in the regular buggy. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">She can throw a fit and will usually go and walk herself to the timeout chair, sit, and then she gets up like a different child and will do whatever she was telling you "no" that she wouldn't do</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">When she wants someone to hold her she says "I hold you"</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It is official... most of you have heard...Harper is a biter. She started her new school mid August and in 4 months has bitten 16 times...you can do the math. Yes, we have been given a spreadsheet with her bite incident stats. I know all kids bite. I have heard it over and over and over and over from a lot of people. I know it is a phase... I know, I know, but it doesn't make it easy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">We have said it from the time she was a few months old, she is feisty and she knows what she wants and will do anything to get it. So </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share a little situation that happened back in the fall. I just want to be sure I don't forget it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One day I was talking to another mom as I was picking Harps up from school. She teaches at a neighboring elementary school and we have a few mutual friends. She asked for my email address and said we needed to get our girls together for a playdate sometime. (How fun!). As we walked out we talked about all the fun things our girls could do, how cute they were walking down the hall together, and all that mushy cute stuff moms talk about. Well when we got to our cars she said "let me ask you something...has Harper been bitten yet?" Oh no...panic set in!!!! Well it just slipped, just like that I lied like a little kid and said "yes." I didn't even think about it and just said it...I totally lied for my child... Well she then goes on to talk about how her daughter had been bitten yesterday. Oops... we got a note for that one! I go on and try to totally downplay the whole thing and tell her "oh this just happens at this age...it is a normal thing." Totally telling her everything that everyone else has told me about biting. As I am saying this I am freaking out and trying to escape towards my car because I realize that I just totally LIED and Harper is biting her kid. She then says "I guess we just have a biter in the class." I of course continue to try to downplay the whole thing. Well then she proceeds to tell me that she has been thinking about talking to the director about it..."Well wouldn't that be a great idea!!!!", I thought. By now I have escaped as much as I can and am putting Harper in her carseat. I tell her "oh..you don't need to do that... just don't worry... it is just a phase...have a nice weekend. Bye!!!!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Yes...I lied... and we have never gotten an email or an invitation for a playdate. I guess maybe she found out...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Now we celebrate when Harper goes a week with no biting, and her daily </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">prayers with us include "please help me to have self control and not bite my friends." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">They promoted her to the older class after Christmas. The director told me that it is more structured, the children are older, and there is a lot more going on during the day. So I guess they moved her because she is either A. gifted and needed a more challenging environment, or B. they got tired of mad parents. (We think "A"!) In talking to her new teacher about Harper's "behavior" she told me that "she won't have time to bite in here." Well, we sure hope so. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So the first week in her new class and I see the wonderful telltale white piece of paper in the cubby. So of course I do what I normally do and make sure no other parent is looking as I sneak it from the cubby to my back pocket. The teacher then informs me that someone bit her!!!!! Hallelujah!!! Apparently it hurt and Harper cried!!! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I couldn't help but be excited and I am pretty sure the teacher thinks I am nuts because I was. We</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> had a nice talk on the way home about how biting hurts your friends. Hopefully this biting thing is over... we shall see...</span><br />

Harpsy, Harpsy, what a fun little girl you are becoming! Your laugh is contagious and you are gaining quite the little sense of humor. You think it is so funny to be silly and often the smallest things can be funny to you. You laugh when we tickle your feet, count your ribs, or even when we blow on your food to cool it off. You are also are getting better and better at dancing and you will literally dance at any hint of music or sounds that could be music. It is pretty funny to watch you stop whatever you are doing and start dancing.<br />

Lately you are really learning about the word "no." You are starting to remember things that you know you can't or aren't supposed to do. For example, one afternoon at the doctor's office we told you "no" when you started to play with the drawers. You would stop playing with them but every once in a while you would walk over to them shake your head and look at us and say "no," as if to ask if you still couldn't touch them. You like to shake you head and say no to pretty much every question we ask you. I guess we need to start saying "yes" more.<br />

Your hair is getting really long! The back of it is forming a rat tail and touches the bottom of your neck. It will pretty much do whatever we tell it to do, and daddy likes making you have crazy hair.<br />
<br />
You are adjusting to your new school, but not as fast as we would like. You still cry a little sometimes when we drop you off, which makes us really sad. We are <strike>working</strike> praying for you to learn self-control. It seems that you get very overwhelmed and territorial at school and bite. You are a very determined little girl and will do whatever you can to get what you want. I cried the day when your teacher told me that sometimes they have to just keep you from playing with others. I want you to have friends and enjoy playing with others, but I have to remind myself that you are learning. This big classroom environment is all new to you, so it will just take time for you to learn how to play nicely with others.<br />
<br />
Words you say: momma, dada, dog (og), book (ook), more (no mo), thank you (ank you), night night, bye bye, no no, bubble, ball, nose, bath (ba)<br />
<br />
We figured out that no mo is your word for want and more. Anytime you want something you say "no mo." I guess "more" and "want" are a little confusing.<br />
<br />
You do the sign language for "more" and "please."<br />

<br />
You LOVE veggie straws. You get so excited when you see us pull out the bag. You could care less when you walk all over dropping cheerios for Maggie to eat, but as soon as Maggie snags a veggie straw, you get very very mad at her. <br />
<br />
You try to bark when we tell you to make the doggie sound, which is pretty cute. Your go to toy right now seems to be any of Maggie's collars. We don't know why but you try to clasp them around your neck and wear them like a necklace. Ryan loves to watch you put your arms up when he says "touchdown Auburn." We are starting to work on animal sounds and body part names. You can point to your nose, belly, feet, and mouth. You make the motions for wheels on the bus and patty cake. You still LOVE to be outside, and often cry at the door to go out there. <br />
<br />
You have become a picky eater. You still love to eat, but only what you want. Some days you refuse something only to gobble it up the next.<br />

<br />
You LOVE books. I mean they have become your favorite toy. Of course the attention span is about 15 seconds, but you love to turn the pages by yourself or sit in our laps and read. We love it when you get a book and then walk backwards towards us like you want to sit in our laps. Sometimes in the morning you want to join us in reading the newspaper, you always think it is funny. You and daddy like to let Maggie out and walk down the driveway for you to pick up the paper. You always are so proud when you come inside and hand it to mommy.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Yes, I admit that I am one of the many moms who can say, "I locked my child in the car."</span><br />

We will miss Mrs. Kristen, but look forward to the new adventure too. She was all ready for her big debut. As you can see, Harper has graduated to a backpack instead of the diaper bag, and she loves it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Here is a face that we have come to know over the past few weeks / month. We are starting a tantrum phase for sure. Apparently once we started watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, all the school talk was for the birds and she let us know she did not want to leave the house this morning, she wanted Mickey and his hot dog dance time!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Lucky for us (and them), she recovered and seemed to adjust pretty well. They gave us a good daily report, and the first thing the teacher said to Emily when she picked Harper up was "She sure likes to eat!". We are proud of her great appetite and love of most any food. We hope it continues and she doesn't become a picky eater.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Anyway, in addition to the little report which tells us how much she ate and when she had a wet diaper or a "BM", we got this little gift showing her day today in photos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyA0plszqF2uGcdWR3xwA0WRS-7wMo_PNkRSnqBaAqr8VZ_iMCPdhzAuDLf3kTTx9rUkmPiq2AD0Wky7-GG_3PI0WnfI74JV_jZ8mHeONk7KaAmh5L_OG3pnK9schJlA7rLH5kRl3CkJ6S/s1600/first+day.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyA0plszqF2uGcdWR3xwA0WRS-7wMo_PNkRSnqBaAqr8VZ_iMCPdhzAuDLf3kTTx9rUkmPiq2AD0Wky7-GG_3PI0WnfI74JV_jZ8mHeONk7KaAmh5L_OG3pnK9schJlA7rLH5kRl3CkJ6S/s640/first+day.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Apparently, she did pretty well, and at least today didn't seem to be the kid that cries constantly. Somehow, they even got her to nap on the cot, which is astounding considering we can't get her to sit still for 2 seconds on the floor, let alone try to lay down in anything other than her crib. Although we did notice someone in the photo is sitting beside her so maybe they had to hold her down at first!!! HA HA.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She must have played hard because she was one tired monkey when Emily picked her up and she took a power nap on the way home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I took 2 weeks off, and we spent most of it away from home. I was nervous about the ride down by myself, but we bought a new car seat right before so hopefully the new scenery would buy me a few hours. I checked some Baby Einstein videos out at the library and rigged up the laptop in the backseat and off we went. The 4 hour trip took 5 hours and we only stopped about 5 times. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Harper really did not like the beach. She didn't like the sand and I think the waves made her a little nervous. </span><br />

We had been to the lake a couple times this year already with Harper, but when everyone is there for the the 4th, funny things / stories tend to happen so we were excited to take her for her first experience of the fun, and to meet Wes, Renee, Matthew, Jesica, and Fran.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Harper got to meet and hang out with a new canine friend Scruffy, in addition to Maggie and Jack. While she was happy to meet Scruffy, Wes & Renee's dog, we're pretty sure the feeling was not always mutual. There were occasions of friendliness though and lounging by a beautiful lake on a hot summer's day creates a strong sense of camaraderie (yes its French, but it sounds Russian, so here's a shout out to Matthew, our Russian expert) that no baby or dog can resist. Good times.<br />

Harper even went "tubing" for the first time! Hopefully, this was in preparation for many years of laughable fun when she gets older and wants to partake of the real deal. Needless to say though, there was some nervousness amongst all the women when this this redneck tubing operation was hatched with a one year old. It did go off without a hitch and Harps loved it!<br />

Of course, the Long Shoals Junior/Senior Professional Golf Tournament was a big hit, even with the canine caddies. The dogs hate for the guys to hit golf balls into the water (as you can see from the snarling Jack). Maybe they are sad that a perfectly good ball is being dropped into the water, never to be heard from again. It is funny to watch them go nuts though.<br />

Riding in a boat is fun, even if you do have to wear this awful, bulky life preserver.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We made our usual fun trip to the sandbar hangout area in the lake, but then a storm quickly arose forcing us to leave soon after we got there. We tried heading back to the house to beat the storm, but it caught us, as can happen when you are motoring in a pontoon boat, and we had to "abandon ship" at the Ritz Carlton on the lake. No doubt, there are worse places we could have had to wait things out. We hung out at the little lakeside bar area waiting on the lightning to subside. It was a pretty neat little part of the resort, very much like a lodge type setting. Unfortunately, we did not get the treatment that Carrie Underwood or President Bush did when they visited the Ritz, but it was nice nonetheless. Dan determined that we needed to make another addition to our "lake emergency kit" on the boat, a debit card or emergency cash.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I don't have any photos of the fireworks of course, but they were great this year as always. Ryan and I made our usual stop at Stateline Fireworks before we crossed the Alabama border into Georgia so we could get "real fireworks" instead of the dinky Georgia ones. After all, what is fun about fireworks without an element of danger, as Dan can attest to. No doubt, we put on the best show in the slew and possibly even the lake (at least we might complete with the Ritz or Reynolds Plantation for five minutes or so). I think I have a video of some of the show, and I'll try to post it later.</div><span id="goog_1009894227"></span><span id="goog_1009894228"></span>Ryan and Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10815699321745202363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552527603977125136.post-71741561621815559722011-07-15T19:58:00.000-07:002011-07-15T19:58:15.152-07:0012 months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well, in my typical fashion, I am a little late on this post.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We pulled out the baby pool at the beginning of June (which we bought at the end of last summer on sale). She definitely loves being in the water, but after being in it nearly everyday for 2 weeks, (after a back to back lake and ocean trip) she seemed to grow pretty tired of it. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Earlier in June she suddenly discovered that the crib railing makes a great chew toy. This is what she looked like after an afternoon nap. Her face and clothes were covered with whatever paint or stain was used, nice. Ryan says surely it is unleaded nowadays, but if she ends up with some blonde moments down the road, we'll blame it on the crib stain.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">*She still HATES riding in her car seat even facing front. I honestly think she just does not like having to sit still and being confined from being able to move. She will just arch her back and scream out randomly.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The big news was that lightning struck our house a few days before Harpers birthday party. Thank goodness it did not turn into a fire. Both corners of our porch looked like this and electrical items in the house have gone haywire. It has been a pretty big pain, but we are thankful to still have a house considering what could have resulted. That was a pretty expensive week for us. I had to have a new transmission, the lightning strike, and of course the birthday expenses all in 1 week. What joy!</span></span><br />

Harper pretty much ignores the television until she hears the theme music from "Fresh Beat Band." She will immediately stop what she is doing and move so she can see the tv. She loves this show. It is like Glee for kids. A little acting, singing, drama, and always a problem to solve.Ryan and Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10815699321745202363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552527603977125136.post-81702063835693834142011-06-06T19:18:00.000-07:002011-06-06T19:18:20.050-07:0011 months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">May was a very busy month for us.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Harper has gotten really good at eating real food. Spaghetti was a favorite. She can be really funny about food. She will refuse to eat it and throw it to Maggie, but if I stuff it in her mouth then she realizes she likes it and will eat it. I think she has a thing with textures so she doesn't like picking some things up with her fingers. If she realizes she likes it then she'll eat it. Chicken seems to be a favorite and most veggies. She loved baby food fruit, but not a big fan of real fruit. She loves banana, but that is about it.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I guess the most exciting thing that happened this month was crawling. Harper crawled backwards for about a month before we finally decided that it was time to show her how easy it is to crawl forwards. All we had to do was spread some puffs out on the carpet and off she went. Once she figured it out she has been full speed ahead ever since. While she was learning, she got pretty good at the yoga pose.</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She started saying consonant sounds like "dada" and "baba" early on in March. Ryan was so excited when she started saying "dada". Of course she probably doesn't really associate him as her dada, but she definitely loves saying the word. The funny thing is, she'll start saying it really loud when she is mad or frustrated. We joke that she is baby cussing us (or maybe just Ryan).</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She has started to become less interested in the bottle. Most days she only will take three 6oz. bottles, and we are doing good if she'll drink all of it. She definitely has taken a liking to real food. We are giving her more and more people food, which she really likes. I think the hardest thing is that she has not quite gotten the grabbing food with 2 fingers thing (the pinscher grab as the pediatrician called it) down so she grabs it with her whole fist and then gets frustrated when she can't get it in her mouth. I'm sorry, but we laugh because it is quite comical.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She used to be more picky, but now she honestly eats anything we give her. Of course fruit is still her favorite and she never turns it down. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We also started exposing her to the sippy cup. I say "exposing" because we haven't really done a good job of introducing it consistently. I can honestly say we have tried 3 different style sippy cups and we have finally found one that she will drink out of. Of course she won't drink her milk out of it, only water, but we are working on it. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She is such a good sleeper!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!! Really though she has been a good sleeper since she was born. We just go through our nightly routine, put her down and a few minutes later she is out like a light. The past week she has started sleeping on her stomach almost every night. I wish she would go to bed a little later, as she is usually struggling to stay awake by 6:30. This means I only get to see her a few hours a day. It makes me tear up just talking about it. I am hoping as she gets older she will go to bed a little later. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This photographer in Hartselle has been using Nanny's property to take her pictures. She just happened to be at the top of the hill taking pictures when we were there. My grandmother really wanted me to ask the girl to take some pics of Harper, but I didn't want to interfere with her shoots. As I was feeding Harps, we heard a baby lamb, so I wiped Harper down as best I could, and Uncle Donnie and I ran up the hill to see this baby lamb. The girl was so sweet and very happy to take a few pics of Harper. She had some baby bunnies and a baby lamb. Harper kept poking the bunnies in the eyes as she was trying to pet them. It was pretty cute. The picture cracks me up because apparently her diaper really needed changing and Harper had sweet potatoes all over her shirt, but I guess she photoshopped that out. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Every night before she goes to bed we go in her room and peek in on her sleeping. It is probably one of my favorite moments of the day.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We lowered her crib last weekend. Once she started sitting up and really moving around, we were a little nervous, so we went ahead and took it all the way down. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Harper does not like putting clothes on. She screams and gets very mad every time we try to dress her. It is a very challenging task. One of these days I am going to record a diaper change and clothes change on video. She is just as wild while we try to change her diaper. She is such a busy body that I feel like we are wrestling with her as she is constantly trying to grab on to anything she can while on the table.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Not surprisingly, her favorite toys are power cords and magazines, what joy. Yesterday I watched her crawl right past the toy basket to get to a surge protector, nice. I guess we'll be buying a few more outlet covers this weekend.</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here are the 9 month stats:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">weight: 17 pounds 8 ounces</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">height: 27 inches</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Head circumfernce: 17 inches</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Harper has already started crying when the doctor or nurse tries to do stuff to her or even look her direction. I guess the catheter incident has traumatized her. Dr. Dudgeon made the comment this week "well she has quite a little temper." Well yes she does. Here's hoping that temper disappears for mommy and daddy's sanity!</span></span><br />

Pre Harper trips included both of us reading at least 3 books, puzzles, games, naps, bike rides, walks, trying out new recipes, more naps, and movies. Relax would probably be the word I would use to describe our break. We joked about what this trip would be like with a little one joining us. It was definatly different, but it was good. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
