This is how we go out nowadays! Looking pretty cool!!

January 9th, 2014

When I uploaded the pictures today I realized I only picked up the camera today when Harper was being a goofball :) Which around here happens quite a bit.

After naptime we came down for lunch and as she was eating lunch her hair was EVERY WHERE!!! It just made me laugh how out of control it was. So that was picture #1.

Then later in the day I was trying to cook dinner and she comes flopping in wearing my shoes. She actually started with a different pair of shoes, then walked back and tried again with the sneakers. That is picture #2.

And picture #3 are Harper's new sunglasses!! Lately whenever we go out and it is remotely sunny Harper yells "EYES" at the top of her lungs in the saddest voice ever. Like her eyes are slowly dying. I have tried giving her my sunglasses, tried the sun shades (which are never in the right spot) and I have tried some local stores to buy sunglasses. Of course they don't come into the stores until it is a little bit warmer and people are actually thinking of the sun. So we turned to the internet and found a pair that seem pretty awesome -- they are supposed to be kid proof :) Well so far she loved them, we will see if they actually stay on.

Harper decided to get out her hat and put it on herself this morning.

At bedtime today Mommy had a hood on because it was freezing. Well a hood on mommy meant Harper needed a Hat! So we turned the random scarf in her room into a hat and she went running around everywhere proud of her Hat!

BATH TIME!!

January 2nd, 2014

I made it! One whole year of pictures -- I finished my project 365. I am pretty happy with how well I kept up, sure I missed some days here and there but overall I have taken a gazillion pictures in the past year!! Just because the year is over doesn't mean I am going to stop. I really think taking pictures each day helps me get better and better and even better yet it is fun to see Harper in all the crazy pictures! So I am not stopping but I have found myself taking a mini break these past couple days. Maybe it is the darkness and bitter cold that has crept upon us - who knows. But even though there is a little lull I promise I will keep posting pictures of Little Miss Harper - and maybe even Kurt every once in a while!

New Year's Eve Party!

We intended to head down to the YMCA and have a little fun swimming as our big New Year's Eve event. Well they decided to close an hour earlier than what their website said :( Boo. So we went swimming but it was for about 15 minutes after the lady nicely let us in for free saying we only had a few minutes. Harper wasn't too sure about the water at first but of course by the end she absolutely loved it and refused to come out of the water. Wish we had more time -- guess that just means we will have to go again.

After the swimming fun we headed back to our house with the Girton's and Grammy and Pop and Nana Sue came to visit us. We had lots of fun eating, eating and more eating. We set up a little mini photo booth and Ava absolutely loved it!! The Girton family ran away with the photo booth, guess they are just the movie stars in the family :) hehehe I love some of Ava's pictures in the photo booth -- she was hamming it up!! It was a great New Year's Eve had by all!

Coolest Christmas present ever!

Kurt made Harper a stool for the kitchen counter that she can get up on all by herself. She absolutely LOVES being a part of the action. The platform is also adjustable so that as she gets bigger and taller we can lower the platform and she is still the perfect height! It really is an awesome stool!! With the railing on all four sides I never have to worry about her falling off. It is perfect!! If anybody is interested the plans came from Ana White - Helping Tower. It definitely was the perfect Christmas Present. Harper loves it and I love it!! She is up there multiple times a day!!

Check out all of that bling -- Harper found a stash of random bracelets and necklaces. Luckily we did not put EVERY single necklace on, but we did put every bracelet we could find!!

And we are getting ready for New Year's!! Switched the sensory bin to all New Year's themed stuff. We have necklaces galore and lots of different noise makers!! We are ready for some fun!!
