Big girl

When we bought our house, one thing we were really excited about was the park that is so close. Until this weekend, we had yet to take Harper. To say she loved the swings would be an understatement.



Now we just have to be careful that we don't take her so much that she gets bored with our local park, and we have to drive to another one.

Harper's party pictures

I took some video of Harper's party, but very few photos. Luckily we had dueling photographers in Uncle Jay and Uncle Chip to cover me on that end.
You can go to the Chockley blog for more, as Chip took and posted some photos of the party. I am hoping to get the CD from Jay for more of his photos to post, as the black and white in the "1 year old" post was not credited to him.

1 year old

That's right, Harper turned ONE on Sunday. I absolutely can not believe she has grown up so quickly, and it is only a year. She took her first 2 steps at Grammy and Grampa's house on Saturday, but we weren't there to see it. I know she is close though, as she cruises all over the house now. And she is getting so tall, 30.5" at the 1yr check-up on Monday. But what is really amazing is the personality she is developing, constantly smiling and laughing, playing with us and the animals. Right now she mainly says dada, but will occasionally attempt dog and cat, while neglecting mama. Harper will pretty much eat anything we give her, which is great. And the doctor cleared her to eat everything we do. Not to mention she will now be going away from formula and onto cow's milk. Gina and I truly have a reason to love Valentine's Day.

Going from 6lbs to 23lbs, my how she has grown.
