Maggie turns 2!

Last Saturday, we went to Monkey's Treehouse to celebrate Maggie's 2nd birthday.  Harper just goes crazy at these places...jumping from thing to the next.  It is a great workout for me, especially b/c Josh was out of town. I recommend going to these places with two adults for every child! ha!

playing leggos with Callie

She got a little clingy when a few adults started talking to her.

She does have a bit of separation anxiety...but nothing a few cool toys can't distract her from.

Really enjoying her cake pop

The birthday girl!

Best party favor ever!

She loved the glow stick and balloon attached.

It kept her entertained the whole (very dark) car ride home

Happy 2nd Birthday Maggie!

Harper: 16 Months (this past month)

This month has been very busy and a lot fun.  We celebrated Christmas with family and friends, went on play dates, and had an overall great month! 

Harper-you never cease to amaze your dad and me.  Your vocabulary is growing and growing.  You are starting to pick up on words in songs and love to sing along.  The fresh beat band is still your favorite TV show and you love to dance along.  We love watching you.  You also like Sophia the first, Tinkerbell, and Tangled. This month, your 4 molars came in (I think they were starting last month) and you handled it pretty well.  You loved opening Christmas presents and having people at the house to play with you.  You also went on your first date (see below) and have been a great hostess with your friends. 

Here are some more pictures of what you have been up to:

Working hard. 

On her first date with Brooks (her head took

Sweet hugs with her new friend Isabelle. 

Trying on Katie's shoes.

You are a monkey. You climb on anything and everything.  You also hit your head three different times on three different things.  You are starting to run, so you are bit careless with doors and coffee tables. 

You are a big ham!  We were at the Barbers (next door neighbors) and you were working the room.  They put this fake frog on your head and you loved walking around trying to balance.

Over Christmas break, we had a play date with Mary Whitley and Audrey. 

Mally is more and more tolerant of you everyday. 

The morning of New Year's Eve, we had a play date and you were so welcoming with everyone.  Every time someone new walked in the door, you ran over, waved, and said "Hi!"

You got your first job at Lowes. You loved cleaning the floors. 

You had your first chocolate kiss.

You love dancing to the Fresh beat band in the card. 

We got you a new bed. hahaha, I'm so funny.  Just kidding.  You have the time of your life hanging out in this box.  You love to climb in and out. 

You love your new swing.  We haven't been able to use it much b/c it's been cold...but when we have, you love every second!

More fun on the swing and more fun with Mally. 

You are becoming more and more of a little girl. 
We are having so much fun watching you play and grow!

Weekend Fun!!

We had a lot of fun with friends this weekend.  Friday afternoon, we were playing out side (it was almost 70 degrees) and we ran into Julia (5), our cute neighbor.  She loves babies and was so sweet with Harper.

Harper loved playing with her too!

Holding hands as we walked Julia home. Look at their cute shadows.

Saturday, we had playtime/dinner at the Vitucci's.  We were excited to play with them and the Pittas.  Taylor Grace, Allie, and Harper played pretty well together...or independently, in the same room.

Dance party in TG's room.

That's better.

Our best attempt at a girls picture.

Sunday night, we had dinner with the Mullis family.

We got to spend time with their newest edition Miles.

Josh and baby Miles.

Mason saying "cheese" for the camera.

Harper kept a close eye on Daddy while he held Miles.  Can we say jealous?

Sweet friends playing with together.

Saying goodbye...these two are so silly!

Such a dramatic goodbye...goofy kids.

Overall, what a fun weekend!

The older Harper gets, the more fun it is to watch her play with friends.  She really loves being around other people and playing with their toys!
