Keeping up with the Kants

OMG can you believe it?  Two posts a less than a month?  Out of control.  One of my many goals is to post on this thing more, because what's the point of cramming two months worth of stuff into a post?  It's lame, and I realized it ticks me off when I have to wait for my favorite people to post on their blogs.  My other goals you ask?  Ah...just to name a few...lose those last few, um, 30 baby pounds, learn to make healthier yummier meals, make my own baby food, learn to sew, read approximately 30 books which I own but have never read, and finish my wedding scrapbook so I can start on Harper's book.  A lot of goals, but that just means it's more to get done...or more to put off.  We'll go with the first one. This weekend Harper got her first play date with an older man (sorry Braggs!).  Dexter is 1 1/2 and a fun kid once he warms up to you.  He hasn't exactly gotten that whole sharing thing down though.  When Harper would get...

I knew 2011 would be a year of firsts for us.  Harper getting her first tooth, taking her first step, saying her first word...I put them in the order I'm predicting them, which is kind of cheating because she had her first tooth break through on Wednesday morning.  So, my point being I thought all my firsts would be involving Harper...Lo and behold, I was wrong.  On Thursday morning on my way to work, I was involved in my first car accident.  I've been driving for almost 12 years and not one accident or ticket on my record.  A lady was driving too fast on the private road behind my office; she hit some ice, fish tailed, and hit me head on.  We're all fine, sore, but fine.  She totalled her sporty little car, and removed my bumper.  So it's rental car city until sometime next week.  Let's hope all our other firsts are positive ones! Like I said, Harper cut her first tooth last week.  She was running temps most of the weekend and into Mo...

Happy 7th Month birthday to Harper!  To celebrate, her daycare decided to close today due to snow, so we got an extra "us" day.  She has been in such fun spirits lately, I love it.  She is also crawling like a madwoman, and pulling herself up on anything that will (or in most cases won't) stay still.  She's also started growling at us; I think she does that more than her normal noises, and it freaks me out.  I think she's maybe possessed, so all those jokes about her stealing souls aren't quite as funny now... 7 months...seriously, where does the time go?!  In 5 short months my baby will be a year old.  In three short months my brother in law will get married to an awesome gal, and in a little under two months I'll embark on my first trip to Vegas, Baby! for a bachelorette. 2011 is going to be busy!   I have to stop using time off for closed daycares though. Harper was sick most of the Christmas holiday weekend; I think it was a combinati...
