Harper Lee is 1 year old!!

DSC_0044

Our little Harper turned 1 on Friday, April 27th. She's such a cutie pie and so much fun. She currently has only her two bottom teeth, still has yet to say a real word, is crawling all over the place and loves to go up the stairs so she can get into her brothers' room where all the fun (and dangerous) stuff is located, puts anything and everything in her mouth that she can and her family can't get enough of her. She has become particularly fond of Sammie over the past month which is almost a mutual feeling as Sammie's favorite time is when she gets out of her chair after a meal so Sammie can "help clean up." What a good dog! Here are some fun pictures:

She loved the chocolate cake! The plate was clean! And Sammie was a big helper with all the mess

But this is how she really started off her birthday festivities

She loves being outside. Especially with Mom. Dad would just as soon snuggle with her all day long!

She loves the swing and slides. Especially when her brothers are with her!

Just a few samples of items that went in (and out) of her little mouth. What a rascal!

Late night dancing.


First time ice-skating.


Sliding down the grassy slope.  It works much better when the grass is green and not wet.

Happy Harper
