Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to all who have served our country! A BIG THANK to Adam, who dedicated 4 years of his life to serve the USA. It was a LONG 4 years, but I am so thankful for them! We both created a lot of great memories in those 4 years and gained new friends and a different prospective on life. We are BOTH stronger people because of the military!
Remember to thank a Veteran today, young and old. I'd also like to thank my father-in-law (Vietnam) and my brother-in-law (Operation Induring Freedom/Iraq War). Both of my grandfathers served in the Army, and my uncle in the Marines. Thank you!
Unfortunately, Veterans only get thanked one day a year. I think it should be EVERY day!

14 Months

Weight: 22.8 lbs

Diaper Size: 3

Clothing Size: 18 months

Teeth: Hard telling b/c she always bites when we stick our fingers in her mouth! Do you blame her though?! Harper has had a rough month in the teething department. I'm pretty sure she cut 4 molars all in a two week time span, making her total 12-14???? Only 6-8 to go! She's cutting a few on the bottom right now....poor thing!

Speech: Her first 'real' word is "hi!" She says "Hi" to strangers at the grocery store, doctors office, Target, etc. Anyone that walks by is fair game - she gives them a big grin and then says "Hi." I'll have to teach her about 'Stranger Danger' when she gets older :) She is also making lots of other sounds and speaks her own little language to us. She learned to sign milk and please this month too!

Eating Habits: Harper's new favorite are the Jeanie-O Turkey Franks. She eats all table food. We are still working on using silverware. It is such a mess that I dislike the idea of practicing, so we only practice with the less messy foods. Harper still drinks a bottle before bed and if she wakes up in the morning. She only has 1/2 can of formula left and then she'll have a sippy cup of milk before bed.

Sleeping Habits: Harper had a few nearly sleepless nights a few weeks ago because of her teeth. She was seriously up every hour - it was pure hell! Now she is back to her regular sleeping pattern of waking up usually b/w 5 and 6 for a bottle, and then back to bed until 8. Bedtime is still around 8 pm. She still takes a morning and afternoon nap, about 1.5-2 hrs each. Luckily, she adjusted to Daylight Savings time with a day or two.

Favorite Toy: Baby Elmo and accessories (blanket, bib, bottles, pacifier)

Favorite Activity: Harper LOVES music and dancing! I think her favorite song is the ABC's. Her newest dance move is twirling in circles.

New Things:
  • doesn't cry at daycare anymore!!!!!
  • when I tell her that I have to go potty, she runs to the bathroom and lifts up the toilet seat for me :)

I'm sure there is so much more that I am forgetting, it seems like she can do something new every day!

Playing in the leaves

We took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather today and played in the leaves! A new first for Harper. She loved it! Enjoy the pictures.

"Can I really jump into all of these leaves?!"


This is fun!

Mommy played in the leaves too

Time to bury mommy!

Daddy's turn to play with me!
