Harp and Ellie

Look at these two girls! We are no longer allowed to mention Ellie's name until right before we see her. If Harper even thinks there is the smallest possibility of seeing Ellie, she gets herself so worked up! Then if it doesn't happen-WATCH OUT EVERYONE! The other evening after dinner in her diaper only, she walked to the front door, put on her "jack" (jacket) and said "Harper go, Harper see Ellie". Then she proceeded to have a complete meltdown at the front door when she realized is WAS NOT going to happen! Anyway, these two girls are attached for life! Good thing I love Ellie's mommy!!

Barbie

Troy and I had to clean up on Saturday for a party we had on Sunday. Unfortunately this means Harper has to play inside and she gets cabin fever! I decided to show her some of mommy's old Barbie's just to see what she thought. Well, she thought she'd died and gone to heaven for sure! She was immediately into them and has been obsessed with their well-being ever since. She puts the brown headed Barbie (which she named "Mommy baby" by the way!)under a blanket and night-night every day for nap and at night for bedtime. She even reads them books and makes them hug- it is too cute! Our little lady has quite the imagination!

Baby Johnny

Harper is getting ready for her baby brother or sister and has really taken to her big sister duties. Lila used to be her favorite doll but now it is Baby Johnny for sure! Named after her Uncle Johnny (named by harper by the way), Baby Johnny gets royal treatment. Harper changes his diaper, puts desitin on him (or all over him, but whatever), feeds him pizza and cheerios, and Harper "rocky baby johnny" all the time! She sings him Rock-A-bye-Baby and makes him fall- just like the song!! It is so sweet to see! She is going to be such an amazing big sister. We just have to work on throwing down baby Johnny when we are finished playing with him. That may not work with the little one on the way huh?

CHEESE!!!!!!!

Harper has come to love having her picture taken and then looking at what it looks like. She will say cheese over and over again for as long as we ask- which is about the only request she'll follow! Then of course the pictures are followed by the "I see, Harper see". So we let her hold the camera to see her beautiful picture all the while holding our breath and praying she doesn't decide to chunk the camera across the room! Maybe she needs a camera of her own!! But anyway, who can resist photographing those big smiley chops!

Harper Jumping

I Jump Fast Mommy and Daddy!

We have been researching so hard to figure out what to get Harp for Christmas this year and came across a toddler trampoline. We thought maybe she would be too small for it, but the last two nights all she wants to do is jump on her bed while holding onto the railing! Last night she ran into her bedroom while we were in ours and started screaming at the top of her lungs- I JUMP FAST MOMMY AND DADDY!!!!- We could hear her bed creaking from across the hall and her little feet bouncing up and down SO FAST!! What was so funny is then she would say every now and then- UH OH I FALL- and then a fast follow-up- I JUMP FAST MOMMY AND DADDY!!!. Needless to say I ordered the trampoline for her and will probably never get her off of it!!

I love my daddy!

I just wanted to post a cute of picture of Harper and her daddy playing at the playground in Tennyson. Harper just loves her daddy and no one can get her laughing like he can!!Even in the middle of the night last night when she was screaming for mommy, as soon as I got there she had to know "where daddy?". He is the best daddy ever and Harper is so lucky to have him!
