Darps

Hey peeps! I feel like Harps needs a little shout out on here! EK gets most of the attention - both in real life and in the blogging world. Poor second born Harper! So my baby baby turns one in 17 short days. Sad and exciting! Its a little bittersweet. Art asked me this weekend if I was ready to turn Harper around in her carseat - what!?! What!?!?! No - I am not okay with this. No way!!! She was JUST born! Doesn't he know that! Ugh. News alert - she was born 11 1/2 months ago. February 6, 2009. I just cannot get over it! This baby, my baby is about to be one. How is that possible? I guess we should start talking about another one, huh!? NO - NOT YET!!!
So whats Harper Darper up to these days? Well, here's a typical day!

6:15am - wakes up ready to eat!
7am - has a little milk then back to bed to wait for the light to come on
7:25am - the light comes on
8am - time for breakfast - she sits at the table with us now - no more highchair! Eats all tablefoods - except for the things she can't have til shes one! Tonight she had salmon - can babies eat fish?
8:30am - play - she plays so well alone - sometimes with toys, but usually with things that are better left alone - like cords, dvd players, outlets etc. Don't worry - I dont LET HER play with these things - these are just her preferences.
9:30am - naptime
11am - play some more! she loves her Little People house, puzzles and I think her fav is the Leap Frog fridge thing that sings the alphabet!
12pm - lunch - this kiddo really like to eat - she definitely can eat more than her big sis!
1:30pm - naptime again - sometimes this goes well, sometimes not so well - depending on her sisters behavior that day! Again, poor poor baby!
4pm - more playing, maybe a snack, crawls around, gets into stuff, bangs on pots, definitely crying more these days at this time.
5:30pm - helps mom and emma kate get dinner ready with a little extra crying - the crying gets me to pick her up - which she likes A LOT!!!
6pm - Daddys home and she couldnt be more excited - starts shaking, laughing and saying "dada" over and over
7pm - bathtime, milk, bedtime routine
7:30pm Nighty Night!

then we go to sleep, wake up the next day and do it again!

Hm - everything has been more blurry with Harper than it was with EKD. I am not sure why except for the fact that I am caring for 2 this time around. Ek was crawling at 9 months, walking at 11. I can't even picture Harps walking right now - although she does give the walker a try from time to time. She says few words - dada, more, that and woof. Signs 'more' and 'all done'. and thats about it. She is crazy about her sister. Emma Kate can do no wrong in Harpers eyes - its awesome. EK is such a great big sis. I just cannot get over how well she has done. I am so thankful!
Video of Harps walking behind her walker coming soon! Sorry - too lazy to get the camera at the moment! Here you go!

and I thought you might enjoy this! Harper Darper joins us at the table! So fun!
