Smallwoods with The Hunter's

We were dying to meet little miss Emerson (who I didn't get a photo of), so we met the Hunter's at Smallwoods just outside of Leavenworth for a fun filled afternoon.  Hailey and Cal are a great pair, they sure make the most of our short visits.

Harper's First Haircut

It was just a little trim to even out the mullet.  For a kid who doesn't really sit still, she did awesome!

Pumpkin Patch

R&r and H&h

Our play-dates with Ryder & Ruxen are becoming less frequent with the big kids both being in school now.  They came over to surprise Hailey at the bus stop...she was so excited.  She gave Ryder a big hug as soon as she stepped off the bus.
Harper was pretty happy to have visitors as well.

I broke out my big camera for the first time since Hailey's first day of school (which was one month ago)!  I feel terrible that I barely have any pictures of Harper other than from my iPhone. 

 toothbrush + drool = teething!  Come on... any day now.  She still has only 6.

Love these two!

Harper {15 months}

Harper had her well visit yesterday.  She kept busy climbing up and down the mini sized chairs while we waited for the dr., so proud of herself each time she got herself up.  Harper is a go-getter, always trying to keep up with her sister.  She's trying to say all kinds if words, and usually gets the first part down.  A few examples:

Buh = book

Bir = Bird

Bah = Ball

Shish = Sis

The rest of what we hear out of Harper is lots of yelling when she insists on being heard, which is most of the time.

She still has only 6 teeth but is working on #7.  She wakes up super happy and should since she is a champion sleeper...sleeping 12-14 hours at night and still two naps a day.  Hailey tells me how much she loves Harper and how she is the cutest baby ever, several times a day.  Hailey makes Harper laugh more than anyone.  But Harper isn't afraid to let her know when she's had enough "love" aka smothering.  This is a constant battle for us, I feel like all day I'm saying "Hailey, put your sister down", "Get out of her face", "Leave her alone please, she doesn't like that"...  Hailey's response is always "but I just love her so much, she is just so darling, I can't help it!"  I call her Pepe Le Pugh.   Hailey has even made up a song about how she doesn't want to go to school because she'll miss her baby sister.  On that note, Harper and I have been enjoying our 3 hours a day alone together.
