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.
