Harper 3.5

Happy 1/2 birthday to our little Harper!  

Weight: 41-42#

Clothing Size: Tops = 6!!!  Bottoms = 4-6 (depends on brand and style)

Shoes Size: 10 - but we're pushing it.  She'll definitely be wearing a 11 by summer I think.

Eating: Harper is still a pretty good eater, although she would rather fill up on "snacks" instead of eating a meal.  Her favorites things to eat are: toast, grapes, strawberries, yogurt, pretzels, chicken nuggets, chocolate milk, mac and cheese, juice (apple and grape), and ice cream.  We make her try everything we eat, which she does without argument.  So far she doesn't like: corn, mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions.  

Sleep: Bedtime is in the 8 o'clock hour and she will usually sleep for about 10.5-12 hours.  Harper doesn't have  nap schedule, but usually takes a few naps/week, in the late afternoon hours.  Supper time is her favorite time to sleep!  

Favorite Toy/Activity: Harper enjoys playing Candyland, singing in her microphone, riding around the house on her scooter, and writing in her dry-erase books.

New Things:
     *Loves to help with the laundry - Harper folds ALL of her own clothes, plus the dish towels, wash rags and Adam's boxers.
     *Makes her own bed
     * Picks out her clothes every day (and gets dressed by herself) - some days her outfits are quite interesting
      * Loves to help me cook
     *  Harper has quite the imagination - she is really good at entertaining herself.  Her newest "friends" are her 2 rocking chairs - she marries them and carries them around??????????  She also has names for a few of her balls
     * Speaking of balls, Harper is an excellent dribbler! (video to come)
     * Can write all of her letters
     * Can write Dad, Mom, Harper and Ali without any help
     * Harper loves to rhyme
     * Hates wearing socks and long-sleeve shirts
     * Is beginning to love Disney movies and Disney princesses
      * I think (and hope) that her Caillou obsession is finally over - except now Harper is obsessed with watching Max and Ruby (other favorites are Dora and Team Umizoomi)
     * Knows the days of the week
     *Learning how to count in Spanish (can count to 4 so far)
     * Loves to hug and kiss by belly - and always wants to "sit by the baby"
     * Can count to 100 with help


To do this month: Get her 3 year-old pictures taken before she's FOUR!!!!
