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.
