Turkey Butt

Since it's 12:46 am and I'm still going, I thought I'd at least share these cute pics from Thanksgiving...

 

7 Months- November

Well it's 12:03.  I've missed my goal.  Searching for the "in the vault" Gavin Halloween pics really killed my time BUT I am willing to sacrifice sleep for getting caught up.  And when the subject matter is this cute, it doesn't makeit too difficult.

 

Harper Addison is 7 months old!  She is now officially closer to age 1 then she is being born.  So bittersweet.  Words that described Harper this month were "enthusiastic", "joyful" and "delighted to be alive".  That about sums it up.  But don't take my word for it...



Harper is a petite little thing- kind of a long and lean type situation.  She's in the 25th percentile of her weight.  She's doing a great job eatting fruits and veggies and loves homemade carrots, peas, pears, sweet potatoes and bananas! Harper also has two sweet little teeth.

 

Harper is jibjabbering a lot.  She loves to say "dadada" and "bababa" and loves to laugh with her brother.  She moves her hand like she's waving bye bye.  Sometimes it seems like she's doing it in response to people talkking with her.  AND I really really really think that she said "bye" on Thanksgiving.  Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure it was a Thanksgiving miracle.  She not only was waving, but said "bye" too as people were leaving our house from Thanksgiving breakfast. 

 

Harper is doing lots of pre-crawling.  She gets so excited about moving that occassionally she knocks herself backwards, but it's so fun to watch her work so hard.  Sweet sibling moment: a few nights ago, we were trying to see if Harper would crawl to a toy.  I was laying on the floor to be at her eye level.  Gavin came and laid next to me and was saying "Go Harper go!" and "you can do it!".  So sweet.  They definitely feed off of one another's excitement and it's fun to start to see her and Gavin interact and make each other laugh.  Harper has also loved splish splashing around in the big girl bathtub.  She sits so well and loves to reach for bath toys and splash in the water- it's definitely a fun play time.  Last but not least, she continues to love her friend in the mirror and is very excited about seeing her and grinning at her whenever she can. 

 

 We love our precious baby girl with her crazy hair, laid back spirit and delightedness at life.  We're delighted that you're ours, little girl. 

Sushi and the nerd

Okay.  So in the interest of time (because it's now 11:41) I'm not proof reading my posts.  Don't judge. 

So what else has happened since October 26th?  Well, Halloween of course!  So while I won't do a complete play by play of the day (no cheering, please) I will brag on and show off my two sweet trick-or-treaters. 

Harper was a piece of sushi.  Thank you, Pinterest. 

I could just eat up that sweet little cuteness roll!  

 

And Gavin was a nerd. 

 

Sweet little nerd.  We went to a trunk-or-treat event at my parents' church and at one point he tripped and spilt some candy out of his bucket.  Poor little guy- he definitely looked the part. 

And now for the 2010-2012 Halloween recap.  Harper- you'll get yours next year, sweet stuff.

Gavin- Halloween 2010

 Glad we could be keeping things progressively dignified.
