Second half of April

We've been busy!

Helping Daddy build a new deck

Playing in the sandbox

Eating corn on the cob for the first time

Discovering her shadow

Spending lots of time coloring

Eating dinner outside

 

First half of April

We try to play outside whenever it is warm enough.

 Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been cooperating very often!

Fun at the park

Flying a kite with Daddy

Playing at home

When we are stuck inside, Harper enjoys playing on the iPad.

Her favorite food is grapes and she loves to share them with her sock monkey, Bobby.

We got out the old karaoke machine and Harper loves to "sing" and dance.

She also loves to play ball and can actually catch the ball when we toss it to her.

Harper is such a fun and adventurous little girl!

Easter

First Easter basket

Hunting for eggs

Harper said "Egg!"

Looking for more eggs

Lots of eggs

Later in the afternoon, we drew with sidewalk chalk.  

Harper loved drawing, and even erased her pictures by rolling in the chalk!

She was covered in chalk dust, but had a great time.

Fun at the park!

We finally had a warm afternoon, so we went to the park!

I forgot my camera, but got some pretty good pictures on my iPhone.

This slide was a bit faster than we expected.  You can't tell

from this picture, but Harper loved it! She's quite a little daredevil.

She wanted to do it over and over.

Coloring Easter Eggs

Harper loved coloring Easter eggs!

Ashley showed Harper what to do.

Harper understood -- sort of!

While waiting for the eggs to dye, Harper decided to kick her feet up and check out the stickers.

The eggs look great!

March 2013

Harper is learning many new things.  She has started saying a couple of

new words including yellow and eggs.

We had a visit from Parents as Teachers and were introduced to sensory play.

Sensory play lets children use many senses at the same time and will help build fine motor skills.  These will be important in writing, buttoning, and zipping.

Harper loves her new bucket of beans!

Harper is doing very well with her shape sorter!  She loves any kind of puzzle.

She absolutely LOVES chips and salsa. 

She fits right in with our Mexican food loving family.

Harper loved playing with Cousin Emma.

Daddy got wild playing air guitar on Harper's stomach!

Warm weather!

It was finally warm enough to spend a few hours outside!

We helped Daddy in the garage, walked around the neighborhood, 

and played for hours.  It doesn't matter what we do. 

 If we are outside, Harper is happy!
