Harper Jay

On Saturday Harper turned 2..  Is it cliche to still use the old saying, Where does the time go? Even if it is, I'm sticking to it. Where does the freaking time go? I noticed myself all last week thinking about where we were at that time 2 years ago.  Pretty crazy.  So, here are some items about Miss Harper.  I'll do another post later this week for her birthday. 

Harper, you are such a kind, loving, sassy, headstrong kid. You are sensitive to others, but when you want something people better get out of your way.  You definitely do things at your own pace, which I guess we should have figured out the day you were born. I love to watch you play with your toys or color or see how gentle you can be with Abbey when you want to be.  I can't wait to see how much you change in the next year.  Love you Stinkerdoodle. Yeah, I call her Stinkerdoodle.  She's too young to hate it.

Here are some of your favorite things

Favorite Foods: hot dogs, cuppies (cupcakes), any kind of fruit, most vegetables, ravioli, fruit snacks, juice,yogurt, bologna and mac n cheese. You also prefer to eat everything with your hands, but when you use a utensil you balance between lefty and righty.

Favorite books: Curious George, The Bellybutton Book, Guess How Much I Love You, God Gave Us You, Nursery Rhymes, Mickey and Minnie Mouse books, and anything with Sesame Street.

Favorite Shows: She finally came around to Disney movies around 18 months, and are captivated by them, not sure if that's a good or bad thing. She particular likes Snow White because Heigh Ho is her favorite song. Shaun the Sheep, Timmy Time, Yo Gabba Gabba, any show with choo choos, Olivia, Dora, and of course, Sesame Street.

Favorite things to do: Color, play outside, blow bubbles, color with chalk, go to the park and on walks, play with friends at daycare, help Mommy in the kitchen, help Daddy with the yard work, throw the ball for Abbey, play keep away from Abbey, read books, play "baby Harper",  and hide under blankets.

Favorite words: No, Hide, I love you, Bye, Abbey, Mama, Daddy, go, outside, please, thank you, Timmy, banana, Elmo, cookie, cuppie, juice, apple, water...the list could go on. She is also into a jibber jabber stage, and I would love to know what it is she's saying.  She can also say all our family and her daycare friend's and teacher's names. 

I'm sad that my baby is 2 and not really a baby anymore. Her teething spurts showed up last week, so I think having those late nights of rocking her back to sleep may have spurred those old feelings.  I am also excited to see her grow and change and see what kind of person she becomes.  Ugh, OK, tears are on the horizon, so I'll wrap it up here.

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!

Back at it

When I started this blog, I knew my number one issue was going to be consistently updating it.  I didn't think I'd take a 4 year hiatus,  yet here we are... I stumbled into a friend's post, which motivated me to get back into the writing vs just scrolling--i.e. Facebook and Insta etc.  I make no promises to be timely with posts, but I'm hoping with Booker in preschool in the mornings (and school full time in the Fall-gulp) I may be able to make a better go of it. After a lot of deliberation with Erich, I decided to leave my job after 14 years.  It was a tough decision, because I really enjoyed the people, but the work itself had dwindled due to other circumstances, and I was bored.  So bored.  And the more I sat in front of the screen, the more I grew to hate the job.  So it was time for something new.  I had always wanted to be a stay at home mom with Harper, but financially it just didn't work.  Fast forward 6 years and we found we could ...
