bossy pants

auntie jean watched harper sat night while we went to our first UT football game. she gave her dinner and put her to sleep. jean heard about all of the babysitters having such success i think it made her a little nervous. come to find out, harper basically told jean what do and when, pointing at various things. she pointed to her mouth when it was time to eat. she told jean she was all done with reading and pointed to her crib. she is pretty much awesome. i'm allowed to say that, right? auntie jean texted in excitement saying she is part of the no crying club now since harper went to sleep so easily.
we love that she feels comfortable with others and is such an easy baby. fingers crossed it continues this way!

14 months old

our little girl is getting so big. i can't even remember what it was like when she used to crawl around.

we went to a concert last weekend while kerry and harris watched harper. very kind of them to volunteer and brave to want to put her to sleep. the last time someone put harper to sleep other than amy or myself, she had to cry it out. it was only for about 8 mins but auntie jean felt bad. that was four months ago and i just finished breastfeeding too. she wants to redeem herself since kerry had such success. after reading a few books, she said harper fell fast asleep. everyone was happy. we had a fabulous time at the concert and harper was happy with her babysitters.

she is soaking everything in. she understands what we are saying, responds to us and observes everything around her. it is amazing to watch.

and she is off!

we have an official walker on our hands. granted, she walks like a zombie with her arms down by her side, but it sure is cute. it is amazing to watch her develop. i'm glad she has padding on her bum because she still walks like she is drunk at times too. she is probably enjoying her outside time at school now that she is mobile. they go out twice a day for playtime. so far she still sits in her high chair when we go out to eat and stays in the shopping cart. i've heard that i should enjoy that now, since she soon will want to go go go!
