Happy Birthday Harper!

This weekend was Harper's birthday party. Here, she is getting ready for the party by helping Nana with her camera. By the way, Harper picked out her own shoes for the event.
We are warming up for the big event by giving Harper a card to read. She takes her reading time very seriously.
Harper is waiting patiently for her Daddy to open one of her new dolls.
Surprise! Not sure what present this is, but I think she likes it!
Stay tuned for more birthday footage....

Harper the Tomgirl (in a dress)

Harper can't decide whether she likes sticks, flowers, or leaves the best.
Playing outside is her favorite thing to do!
Is her hair starting to get a little red? We sure do hope so! Right, Aunt Abby?
In these last two shots, Harper is teasing Fletcher by stealing his toys. We have a new kinder, gentler Fletcher. He's not so crazy when Harper is around:)

Harper and the Daffodils

Between the kitty cats and the daffodils, our Harper has become quite the outdoorsperson. I believe she could stay occupied for hours outside. She might take up gardening as a hobby like her Papa and her Great-Grandfather Houser.

Harper and the Easter Horse?

The Easter Bunny brought Harper an Easter Horse. We don't have the official name yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Even though it was a little chilly on Easter Sunday, Harper still enjoyed being outside with her eggs. Easter wasn't the same without sharing it with our family. We love and miss you all!

Just a Swingin'

Harper enjoys the swing, but just for a few minutes at a time.....
Then she's down on the ground walking around and trying to put the wood chips in her mouth.......
Kind of like the swinging thing, Harper likes to slide, but only for a minute or two before it's on to the next adventure.....
Harper and Knox are enjoying themselves on their playdate.

Duck!

Harper and her boyfriend, Knox, had a playdate at the park on Thursday. He introduced her to his duck friends. Since that day, we have been to the park to visit with our friends, the ducks, three out of the past four days:)

Harper is talking to the duck. She doesn't seem to be scared at all. As a matter of fact, I had to chase her several times to the water or she would have went swimming with her new friends.

Playtime for Harper!

Thanks to Nana and Papa, Harper has a new chair. She loves to sit back with her feet crossed and talk on the phone.
Mamaw and Papaw's living room is Harper's new playground.
She's playing so hard that in might be time to get rid of the jacket.

Harper's lion walker is now turning into a toy that she can ride.
After many attempts and many falls, she seems to be catching on.
It's been a long day. It might be time for the pj's.

Harper eats her first popsicle!

Papaw introduces Harper to the wonderful world of popsicles. She definitely has a new favorite food.

Harper Eats Japanese!

She liked it so much she licked the table clean!
Mommy and Harper finally get to visit with

Ashley and Aunt Andi!

Thanks Dad for the great pics!

Harper the Explorer

Now that Harper is walking, everything is an adventure! Here, we are all in the back yard letting Harper "air out." Crockett is doing his usual routine of walking by Harper quickly and quietly and stealing a kiss. If she pays too much attention to him, he runs away. Our little girl seems to love the grass...she even tried eating it:-)
