Two-fers

I have been waiting to get a picture of Harper showing off her two front teeth, or as we have called them her two-fers. Well, Uncle Jay came over to do a photo shoot two weeks ago, and one of the samples he showed us finally caught them. I was so excited. And then on Saturday we went to Rock N Romp and Uncle Chip caught an amazing shot of Harper and her blue eyes. Shannon jokes about how Harper has the paparazzi following her around. We love all the pictures that are getting taken, as we are not very good about taking them ourselves.

Week 1 of daycare

Well, we all survived Harper's first week of non-family daycare. I have to admit it was odd leaving her with random people, but we survived. Harper was very happy when we left her, always a good thing. Gina was fine until Harper started slobbering all over the toys, then had another kid come over and play with them when Harper was through. I guess some germs are good for her, right?

All the excitement really wore her out

Daycare

For the last 2 months, we have been lucky enough to leave Harper with my parents every day while Gina and I go to work. Between days that we had off, and the days my parents were out of town, they ended up keeping her for 45 days. Since my mom works part time, Grand Daddy had to keep Harper for 22 of those days either by himself or with cousins Grace & Morgan. My dad had a little going away party planned for Harper. Gina and I have been trying to talk Nana & Grand Daddy into keeping her longer, alas, Harper's first day of random people keeping her comes tomorrow morning. I have a box of tissues at the ready for Gina.





On the homefront, Harper is not too keen on sweet potatoes, but carrots, peas and squash have been a hit. We try and take a nightly walk through the neigborhood, but even if we didn't, she makes such a mess eating that she always gets a bath before bedtime as part of her routine. She loves the water, be it the bath tub or the pool.
