Summertime

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

And the living is easy! At least when you’re only 6 months old. Harper has already had a very eventful summer and will go on a new family adventure tomorrow. We’re flying to Montana to visit friends and Glacier National Park. So many new sights, sounds, and smells for our little explorer!
What’s new for Harper…..
At her 6 month appointment, she weighed 18 lbs, 8 oz. and is 27 in. long! She’s one healthy girl!
She can sit up on her own now. It’s so wonderful to see her sit like a big girl and play with her toys.
She blows “rasberries” all the time. She really loves to do this when she’s eating. And then she does a belly laugh.
Harper loves to try new foods now - especially because she gets to watch mommy make all the yummy food for her. She wasn’t sure about pears (and made a pickle sour face), laughed at the carrots (who knew carrots were funny), and loves sweet potatoes. Green beans and apples are also favorites. And who doesn’t love bananas and avocados. It’s been fun to watch her get excited about eating. Of course, mommy’s milk is still the top of her favorites list.

Back at the end of June, beginning of July, we visited family in North Carolina. It was a loooong road trip, but Harper was a great car rider. I never thought we could pack 2 adults, 1 baby, 2 dogs and all our gear in a Toyota Corolla for 10 hours, but we did. We deserve a medal….or a badge…or just kudos.
Here are some pictures from our family visit to see the Haiglers and the Daughtrys….
