What a talker!!

For the last few weeks I have been trying to video tape Harper's new word. She has been saying Mama and Dada for a while but I think it's so cute when she says her new word.

So drum roll.....
What is her new word!!

DOG..

Of course it is ! Emma and Riley inspire her.. She watches them out the playroom window and points and says DOG all day. She loves the dogs so it's only fitting that Dog is her new word. So here is an attempt to get a video , listen hard to the last word she says..

Kymber's a Diva

Today was Kymber's first birthday party! I can't believe Kymber is already ONE.. Kymber's mom works with me and I remember being pregnant at the same time and sharing all the pregnancy details with each other. I remember when Kymber was born and when she came to my shower for Harper and was only 3 weeks old. We started having playdates when harper was only 4 weeks old. I think over time Kymber and Harper are going to grow to be good friends. From diaper rash to first teeth I can't believe how big she is getting. So today was our first birthday party to go to for Harper . Im sure one of many as she grows up and makes lots of friends. It was fun and I can't believe in 2 months or so, we will be having our first birthday too. We had a great time and Harper slept the whole way home!! She was obsessed with Kymber's Trike and so I think we might now know what to get Harper for her first birthday.. So here are a few pictures from the day!


Kelly and Blaine!

And to end the day I gave harper her first taste of cupcake! She loved it... I wanted her to be prepared for her party and I think she will be totally ready for it.. She kept asking for more...

9 Month Photo Shoot

We just received our 9 month pictures back, and I love them all as always. I tried to post the link to the slide show a million times but having some technical difficulties. So at least here are a few to peek at.. Hopefully soon I can get the slide show up.. Enjoy.. Have I said lately how much we love this little girl.. And I love all of her silly faces!!

Case of the Mondays...

It is Monday and it has been an interesting day to say the least. We got up this morning and got ready. Deanna and Kymber came over and we went downtown to go the new baby store in town. We very quickly discovered it was closed on Mondays but not before we unloaded two babies and all the stuff that goes with that. So then we loaded back up and headed to Kid to Kid . Found a few things , nothing impressive except a really cute hair clip for Harper to wear for Easter. We then proceeded to eat at Chiloso for lunch and Brad met us and we consumed way to much food. Harper was really lethargic all day . Sleeping in Brads arms at lunch and I kept saying " Do you think she is okay". Its just unlike Harper to nap that good. I told Brad she has been really clingy too. So then after lunch we headed to Cosco. I had been wanting a membership for a while and Deanna needed to buy stuff for Kymbers birthday Saturday. So we went and signed up for memberships and started shopping. Harper was clingy and fell asleep in my arms again and I started to get really worried. By the end of the shopping trip I was so concerned I called the Pediatrician and made an appointment. I told Deanna I thought she was running a fever. And as soon as I got home I checked it , and it was 102 . I completely lost it.... First baby and first illness! I called Brad hysterical and he came home and took us to the doctor. So long story short , her throat was really red, so they ran a strep test and POSITIVE.. I was devastated. I try so hard to keep her well, and I know its going to happen, but I just felt like a terrible mother to not take her in sooner. Its hard because you keep thinking its the teething or something they ate. So now we are on 10days of antibiotics and taking lots of Tylenol to keep the fever down. I pray Harper feels better soon because we hate seeing her sick. Breaks our HEARTS.

St. Patty's Day

It's Harper's first St. Patty's Day!! Although we will not be having a party or drinking green beer. We dressed up for the occasion and we maybe having some GREEN beans for dinner!! HAHA... Wow!!! How your life changes. Hope everyone had a great St. Patty's Day.

Bubbles

For the longest time Harper has been scared of the bubble machine I bought for her ! Tonight I filled the bath tub up with bubble bath and turned on the bubble machine and she seemed to like it better. Just thought I would post a few fun pictures before bed...


My little bubble head...



She was hard to get a picture of , she was moving so much...

Working on Walking...

We came home yesterday from the photo shoot with Erica and we were playing in the playroom. Brad and I were being silly with Harper and Mimi was watching and all of a sudden Harper walked to Brad. It was awesome. She is still really cautious and prefers to hold on to things but we are one step closer to being a walker. Here is a video we shot yesterday of Harper taking steps. ENJOY.

Sunday with Family

It is Sunday afternoon and I am blessed to be off today. We got up early with the time change and got ready for church. Harper looked adorable today all dressed up for Jesus. We met Cici at church and all sat together. Harper took her little nap during the service as usual except today she woke up before it was over and decided to talk to the congregation. Good thing it was the end or I would have had to leave. It was really funny, it was hard not to laugh. Then we went to lunch after which was nice. Harper is finally eating some things, I guess she just doesn't care for the baby food. She loves baked potato soup so we got her some. Now we are doing some stuff around the house and getting ready for your photo shoot with Erica this afternoon. Mimi is putting up a bird feeder outside your playroom window today so you can watch the birds. I love these days off with the whole family , I wish I had every Sunday off. So here are a few pictures of Harper in her adorable outfit. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will have some 9 month photography pictures to post soon. Hope everyone has a good week !





MiMi and Harper before church.

First Steps

Today was a big day for us at the Warren's household. Brad and I were in the playroom with Harper and we were looking at some mail when Harper started acting like she wanted the paper. All of a sudden she took 2 or 3 steps right at us. We both stopped talking and looked at each other in awe. It was an awesome moment and to be able to see it together was such a blessing. She has done it a few times since but never more than just 2 or 3 steps , so we will keep you posted on when we are officially walking. I'm assuming it will not be long. Here is a little clip of her trying to walk. We were not able to get her to do it again on camera , but this is close. We are so excited but also a little sad our baby is growing up so fast.

My little BUG..

At little gym Harper is considered a BUG . But we are considering moving her up a class because she is by far the most active in her class. I feel like now I spend more time chasing her and keeping her off the other children than participating. Most of the children in her class are only sitting and the instructor will say " gaze into your babies eyes " and while everyone else gazes Im wrestling Harper down to look at her face.. HAHA... So I do believe next week we will be moving up to becoming a BIRD. So here are just a few fun pictures from Harper's Bug class this week.

Catching bubbles.



Harper loves these balls. As you can see , she thinks all of them are hers..
