They grow up so fast!

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Harper is 8 1/2 months old! And she crawls, pulls up, stands, says “Dada”, and has 4 teeth!! Two more teeth are on the way really soon (we can see them right under the gums). And she said “Mama” this past weekend (Yes, it was once, but she said it!!)
Here are some of the most recent pictures from Harper’s 7 month old and 8 month old adventures…..

Montana Vacation

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Things are busy in Harper-land, so it’s been a while since a posting of current pictures. We traveled (by plane) to Montana in August and spent time near Great Falls, in Lewis and Clark Forest, and in Glacier National Park. It was a WONDERFUL trip and Harper is such a trooper. She slept the whole time on the plane and one man complimented us by saying “That is the BEST child I have ever seen on an airplane!” Highlights of the trip include staying in a cabin in Lewis and Clark National Forest, hiking in Glacier National Park - including seeing waterfalls, deer, bear, goat, and a snake, and staying at Flathead Lake. Harper’s “firsts” on the trip included airplane rides, a boat ride, and a haircut!

It’s hard to sum up our Montana vacation in just a few pictures, but here we go.
