Harper is 11 months! How can it be?! I am already planning her birthday party. It really is scary how much faster it goes by with two.
Harper is officially in the stage where every few minutes she learns something new! It is so fun to watch!!
Food:
She still LOVES her food. It takes next to no effort to feed her because she eats so well and loves to feed herself. In fact, she really doesn't want to eat anything that has to be feed to her. So independent!
She has also been testing the waters with throwing her food and what kind of reaction she gets from mom or sister. Rylie loves to keep her in line. :)
Favorites foods: oranges, eggs, smoothies.
Skills:
She is pulling up on everything - including her sister!! :) She cannot stand on her own yet but is definitely getting close. Being outside is going to help with that since she does not like the feel of grass on her knees and the sidewalks hurt!
She loves the stairs! Her favorite activity right now is to going up one stair and trying to get back down. Up, down. Up, down. Up, down. (Sometimes she forgets the correct method for getting down and falls backwards. That doesn't stop her though!)
She is consistently signing more and all done and will copy me when I sign potty, food, milk and please.
She says dada, mama, done, poop, potty (she says the last two in a whisper, and I think she tries to say there you go.
She is beginning to help clean up but her true expertise is in making a mess! Her favorite - pulling the books off the bookshelf! She knows it gets to me too, she does it and then comes to find me to show me and cant wait to see my reaction.
She loves singing and dancing. Always has.
Rylie and Harper now share a room. Rylie is really good about being quiet for her sister. A few times when Ry has been the first to rise in the morning she will just go play under Harper's crib until she wakes up. Harper on the other hand does everything she can to keep her sister from going to sleep or to wake her up in the morning. She YELLS and screams as loud as I have ever heard her. It is hilarious!!

Harper laughs the hardest at her sister though Dad is a close second.
She is getting 6 teeth!! 3 have come in already and she is following in her sister's footsteps. Very crooked. :) LOVE IT!!!
P.S. Videos to come shortly just having a few issues posting them. So check back soon. :)
Oh my word oh my word oh my wooooord. I love her to pieces!! Thank you for writing an update, especially for those of us who don't get to see her in real life. :(
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm right there watching her do all these things! I love your kids (and you, of course!)
ReplyDeleteSweet update! Love the pictures. She is such a cutie. Her and Rylie's relationship is really sweet.
