Emily The Unicorn

Harper made a new friend last night, Emily the Unicorn! She's named after one of Harper's best friends, her Aunt Emily. Believe it or not, Aunt Emily isn't very fond of unicorns. Or Renaissance festivals for that matter. Maybe being the namesake of Harper's new friend will change her mind about the whole unicorn thing.

Morning Song

The whole way to baby school this morning, Harper talked and sang to her baby doll. When we got to school, I pulled out my camera and this is what happened. I have learned that when filming Harper, I should always keep the camera rolling a little longer than I would normally want too. She always adds something a little special (I use that word gingerly) at the end.

My Little Helper

Harper has a new toy. The swiffer. She loves it. I swiffered the kitchen floor the other day and she insisted that she help. After 30 mins, I tried to put it away but she cried, so I let her continue playing with it. I think I might be on to something here... I took these pictures with my cell phone - hence the poor quality. But you get the point.

Job Well Done

Flappy Duck

Now that we actually have a yard and a driveway and a sidewalk, Harper and I have been spending a good part of our evenings outside. She loves it. In fact, as soon as we get home from baby school, she grabs flappy duck and pretty much demands that we go outside and take him for a walk.

Giant Steps

It's official. Harper is no longer stationary. She is crawling - well army crawling. She can efficiently zip from one end of the house to the other. With this newfound mobility, new phrases have precipitated in our house. These include: "Harper, don't suck on the guitar." and "Cat food is for kitties." among others. It's funny that Rob and I spent a lot of time over the past few months waiting for Harper to do these little developmental tricks and now that she's doing them, I wish she would just slow down and be my little baby girl for as long as possible. Oh well, such is life. Here's the evidence.

And here's another video just for fun. In this one, Harper is playing with my very first toy, Bun-Bun. It's amazing how well good old Bun-Bun has weathered the years.
