Wow, a full year has come and gone. I can't believe how much our lives have changed in the last year, for the better of course. Harper Rose brings us so much joy and laughter. We are blessed to have her in our lives.
1 year old - Harper doesn't have her 1 year check up until 2/18/13
Here are a few notes about Harper...
1. Harper is obsessed with her binkie and her wubba nub giraffe. She can't go to bed without it.
2. Harper is MOBILE! She crawls with a purpose and she takes baby steps when motivated.
3. Harper says Dada (a lot!) and Mama.
4. Harper practices baby sign language and is getting better at telling us what she wants.
5. She has 11 teeth (3 molars) already.
6. She LOVES her baby applesauce.
7. She loves trying new foods but her favorite foods include cheese. Such a good Wisconsin girl :)
8. She loves to play in water in the bath, shower, and Kirby's dog dish.
9. She loves kisses from her puppy.
10. She likes to play chase.
11. Her favorite toy - the "ballcano" or shape bucket.

On Saturday, February 9th we had a small party for Harper's Birthday. Scott's family came down from Minnesota and spent the weekend with us. My sister came up from Chicago. My sister's friend Ashley even crashed the party with her Mom and little man, Max. Harper had lots of friends and family that celebrated her special day with her. She enjoyed her cupcake and all the presents. Thank you to everyone that celebrated with Harper on her special WEEKEND (yes she celebrates her Birthday like her Nana Rosa).

Max led everyone in singing Harper Happy Birthday (many times ;) hehe)
After the party we went down to Gray's Tied House in our neighborhood. Jim and Linda stayed back and played with Harper. They love to soak up every minute with their little princess.

This ladybug is so cool!
We reflected yesterday on our first few weeks with Harper a year ago. It's amazing to think how far she has come in the last year. This year was filled with ups and downs and she brought us so much happiness during the hard times this past year. We couldn't be happier to be parents to a wonderful, energetic, and happy little 1 year old. We love to you to the moon and back. We can't wait for the years ahead.
Hugs and Kisses
Dada and Mama
Love you guys!!
