Arboretum Pumpkin Time

We went to the Dallas Arboreum this past Sunday with Aunt Kim, Aunt Liz, Uncle Steve, Andrew, and Nana and Pop. It started out all good in the parking lot...
First picture went well with the grandparents...
Harper on a pumpkin- no bueno! The kid who is never scared of anything actually didn't like the pumpkins. Exhibit A
She was ok if someone was holding her away from the big bad scary pumpkins...
LOVED the koi fish in the pond!
Snuggly with Nana by the pumpkin flowers.
Mean model pose with the pumpkins.
Family Picture
Trying to get away from the pumpkins...

Snacks work well for pictures people!
Exhausted and ready to go home!
* Just a little side note- later that day at Walmart Harper was not scared of a motion activated Grim Reaper. In fact she laughed at it and reached towards it- go figure! And please don't worry- she is no longer scared of pumpkins- now she tries to kiss them!

This time last year...

So Harper... this time last year your mother was Bella- pregnant and in love/bitten by a vampire and your dad... well your dad was the tooth fairy (no worries-pretend of course honey). We want you to always enjoy life to the fullest! Never be afraid to be silly and surround yourself with good friends and you will always be laughing!
9months old!
 Love this picture- even if she's not 9 months old in it, it shows her love for her cousin. We love you Andrew- even maybe a little too much at times! hehe. Can't wait to see your Halloween costume!
Harper had her 9month check up last week and has continued to grow and is healthy. We thank you Lord for all you have given us, especially a healthy child. Harper is 22 pounds and 30 inches long-! She is looking more and more like a little girl and less like a baby. She does great at the Dr. and loves Dr. Lestz. It really is like she is in a trance because she watches every little move Dr. Lestz makes. She's always happy- EVEN when she got her first ear infection and had a fever for 3 days. Thank you GiGi for taking care of Harper so Mommy could go to work! And for the hint on how to get that pink medicine down- turns out she likes it if you don't squirt it all in her mouth at once! Slow and steady or pink gets everywhere!
Food update: Harper loves pizza, waffles, and spaghetti and meatballs! She's her mama's girl!

Getting Big!

Harper's sign that she is sleepy!

Having fun in her crib pulling herself up and standing up in her crib.

My favorite smile she does. When she is super happy she sticks that chin and two new teeth out!

Bathtime is so fun.

So much fun she doesn't like to get out and will bend her legs when you try to stand her up...

Snuggly in her towel

Laughing with Mommy

Harper has grown so much and is now pulling herself up and walking around her crib. I can't believe she's already 9 months old. Harper we love you and can't wait to celebrate your first birthday in a few months.
