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.

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!

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...
