Six Months!

Dearest Harper,



Six months. That's half a year. How has the time gone so fast?! I'm pretty sure you were born just last week...

You sit up well on your own. You are still a little wobbly, but you do pretty ok most of the time. You have fallen over and bonked your head a few times, but you are a trooper! You cry a little, but you're over it after a few seconds. Your first cold wasn't too bad at all - super runny nose and a little cough, but you were happy and smiled through it all. You get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but haven't managed to go anywhere yet. Well, that's not entirely true... You drag yourself across the hardwood floors with your arms. You eat the veggies Mommy makes for you, but you won't eat the peas and zucchini without a little sweet potato mixed in. We give you tiny bites of things we eat (that you can also eat without teeth) and you seem to like everything so far. Mommy and Daddy are real foodies, and it makes us happy to see you not really turning your nose up at too many things.


I made a little photo collage of you over your first 6 months. It's amazing to see how much you've changed. You hair has gotten a lot lighter and curlier. Of course you've gotten bigger. Your personality really shines through in these photos.

You continue to be amazing. Keep it up, my love!

I love you,

Mommy

Happy First Easter!

Dearest Harper,

The Easter Bunny delivered a nice first Easter basket for you! Look how happy you are to receive such a nice gift!


 Your basket had a book filled with strong girl short stories, bubbles, two outfits, and...


...a chocolate bunny! As excited as you seem to be about it in this photo, Mommy and Daddy went ahead and ate it for you.

Your Easter dress was beautiful, as was your smile. It's almost like you knew how freaking cute you were!


And of course, no holiday is complete without the celebratory double smooch!


I love you,

Mommy
