Happy Spring

Harper had some spring time photos taken a few weeks ago. We haven't seen the edited photos yet, but I took a few while Katie was shooting her.

Katie is in college studying photography, but is doing work on the weekends.

You can check out her blog here...

She has some photos of Harper on her blog if you look at her previous posts from October, 2010.

She took pictures of Harper back in October, when she'd been home only a month.  At that time, she didn't know how to smile, therefore,  she was difficult to photograph.

Katie took the 2 photos in my header.

Fast forward 8 months, her personality is in full force!

It didn't take long for Harper to warm up to Katie. 

Happy Spring!

Spring Time Fun

I'm way behind on my posting lately....

A few weekends ago, Harper & I went to my parent's house for the weekend.

It was a quick, whirlwind weekend with a baby shower for my cousin, a trip to Eckert's farm & Harper had spring time pictures taken.

Ava G & Harper before the shower

Harper actually wore the headband longer than 5 minutes!

Harper's first carnival ride!  She loved it!

Eckert's Farm had a small area with bunnies & chicks.

Handsome Cael

We captured this poor bunny trying to escape

Harper LOVES animals. She tried holding the bunny but it's nails were too sharp & scratchy.

 First pony ride....loved it!

Mr Cael

We had a great time hanging out with our family.  I love watching Harper experience all of the "first" things in life.  She's a go getter, not afraid of much....except flies!

She freaks out when she see a fly...go figure...



Spaghetti Time

Where's  George?

Who doesn't love the classic spaghetti photos....

Finally, we got some nice weather in the Midwest.

Harper experienced her first bike ride, thanks to Mindy!

She was expressionless the entire time.  She wasn't quite sure what to think of this.

It seems when she does something new, the first few times, she shows no emotion, then by the 3rd & 4th time, she's got a smile GLUED on her face.

The last few weeks have been really good. She's been healthy & in good spirits.

She still gets nights terrors when she's sick or completely exhausted.

Next week, Harper starts speech therapy.  We've met the therapist twice & Harper warmed up to her quickly.

We're excited to see the progression of her speech. This little one has ALOT to say!
