I threw together a little slide show of our recent vacation to Florida with Mom, Todd and Landon. Harper had her first plane ride and did wonderful. It took me a little bit to get her to sleep on our night departure flight out because she's nosey and there was so much to see and hear. But eventually she caved and I won :) We spent a whole week in Florida and didn't want to come home! The beaches were beautiful, the sun was hot and we got to spend some wonderful time with the fam. We didn't see any oil or tar balls however they did have some just a few miles up the beach. It was perfect. Harper loved the water and was such a trooper throughout her schedule being out of whack and teething.
Speaking of teeth, she almost has a full tooth up. It's the bottom, second left tooth. Weird that her front teeth didn't come first but we'll take it! We can see the front ones coming through so I'm sure she'll have a mouthful soon. It's like they're all coming in at once. We have had a few cranky moments and sleepless nights but all-in-all it really hasn't been that bad. I'm probably saying that because I have such a supportive husband who gives me a break when I need it! Harper has tried all types of foods lately as we have literally skipped over the baby food. She wasn't having it and I was okay with it. She likes sour things like lemon, pickle, lime etc. I don't give her a lot of it but an occasional lick here and there doesn't hurt. So far we have had good luck with broccoli, bread - like her gigi, sweet potato, peas, carrots, apples, pears, peaches - lots of different types of foods. She even tried gnocchi and veal marsala - ha ha! She is crawling everywhere and pulls up on whatever she can whenever she can. She'll just hang out holding on with one hand like she's the star of the show. Like I said before, she's fearless! She'll go from the ottoman to her toy basket to the couch in the blink of an eye. Harper has a new found love for hearing her own voice. She screams at the top of her lungs and thinks it's so funny! or if she doesn't want to be in the jumperoo she'll let you know very quickly with a high pitch squeal. When we were flying back from Florida she kept screaming then would laugh at herself. I guess it sounded funny in such close quarters but I didn't catch any others around us thinking it was too funny. Hope you enjoy the pictures. We had so much fun on our vacation!
