We've had a busy few weeks of visitors and birthday parties for Harper. Here's what's happened:
- Harper said her first real word: "uh-oh". I guess we must say that a lot when she's around. She's sort of been saying ma-ma-ma-ma and da-da-da-da for a while, but it doesn't always seem to be in context. There's no doubt, however, when she drops her cup, looks down on it from her high chair and says, "Uh-oh!"
- Harper now loves to be outside. She's still not sure about grass, but she loves to wander around on the deck and sidewalk.
- Harper is moving up to the toddler room at day care on Monday. To celebrate, she threw her first toddler tantrum this evening, complete with kicking and rolling on the floor. For a girl who has cried about ten times in her first year, she sure caught on to the screaming and wailing thing pretty quickly.
- Harper tried swinging for the first time. It appeared to be both exciting and terrifying. She also tried the slide with the same effect.
- My mom and dad helped me replant our front flower beds. I know this is not universally exciting and doesn't have anything to do with Harper, but I was very pleased with the result and am happy we are no longer "that" house in the neighborhood with the weird flower beds.
And here are the latest photos...

| Look at all the people at my party, Mom! |
 |
| My food is on fire and it's freaking me out. |
 |
| What am I supposed to do with this giant piece of food?! |
 |
| Wait, this food tastes pretty good... |
 |
| Actually, this frosting is really good... |
 |
| Now that I've licked all the frosting off I guess I'll just shove this in my mouth. |
 |
| Mmm, banana bread cupcake! |
 |
| Can you believe I'll be asleep within twenty minutes of eating this whole thing? |
 |
| I'm playing with my friend Audry! Only she moves a lot faster than me so I kind of got stuck in this corner... |
 |
| I'm in the grass! It's ok as long as I don't think about how it's touching my foot. |
 |
| Thanks for the watering can, Auntie Melissa! |
 |
| Grandma bought me this awesome ribbon! |
 |
| In addition to the ribbon I also got this gumball machine! |
 |
| Grandpa is so silly! |
