The last couple months...

** I just typed up a whole bunch of stuff for all these photos and when I pushed "Publish Post" Blogger said it could not process my request. So I lost it all! Grrr... **

Our lil' baby girl is growing up. She is now 10 months old and cuter than ever. She's learning new tricks all the time--waving, clapping, funny sounds with her mouth, saying "uh-oh" (but forgetting the "oh" part), pulling up on stuff....but still no crawling. :) Some may say she's lazy, we say she's content. We try to encourage her to crawl by helping her onto her knees and putting her favorite toys out in front of her, but to no avail. She just wants to eat and sit around--not the best lifestyle choices. People keep saying not to rush her, so I'm trying not to. I like that she still stays wherever I put her, but when I walk away and she whines, it would be nice if she could just follow me. All in good time, I guess.

Harper LOVES bath time. This is often where she does her best thinking...and screeching. She loves to play with her rubber duckies and splash.

A while back my mom and sisters came to visit and in typical Williams family fashion, we didn't take hardly any pictures until they were leaving. But it was SO great to have them here. I miss my fam!

Back in August we went to the Boise Music Festival at Ann Morrison Park in downtown Boise. They had music (obviously), food, and hot air balloons at dusk. The balloons were really pretty. Harper slept the whole time (that's her in the background) but it was a nice evening for us to get out and do something different.


Grandma Williams & Harper...they love each other.

Karli gave Harper this ADORABLE outfit. Harper is quite the stylish chic...thanks to all our family!

This girl LOVES to eat. She's resisting baby food more and more and just wants what we're having. One of her favorites is spaghetti--she must be my baby! She makes quite a mess and is mostly fine with it, except when things stick to her hands. She'll grab a big handful of whatever, shove it in her mouth, and then shake her hands until all "danglies" are off. Again, she must be my child. :)


For Halloween Harper was the cutest lil' skunk you ever saw. My extremely talented mother made her this costume. Thanks Ma! Harper was the most adorable at ALL Halloween activities we attended...at least we thought so. Here she is with Grandpa Fly at Sunday dinner.
Our little family on Halloween. No, Chase and I didn't dress up. We really don't like to. We love to see all the kids dressed up, but adults make us...uncomfortable. We're kind of Halloween scrooges. :)
We tried to make Harper a bit more skunk-like by putting her on all fours. She wasn't really a fan, but it was cute!

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!

Cutest skunk costume ever!! That girl is adorable. Payson was a late crawler too. Turns out, she's just fine. So don't worry about it! Besides, the longer it takes her to crawl and walk to longer you have before she starts destroying all of your stuff that she couldn't reach before!! :)

Harper is indeed the cutest skunk I've ever seen! Those pictures are adorable. Don't worry so much about her crawling....at least she isn't into everything. And even though Liam can crawl like crazy...he refuses to follow me anywhere...if I leave the room...he WON'T come with me...he knows it's his excuse to get into trouble. These kids have a mind of their own don't they? So fun to see what you guys are up to these day!

Wow, she was such a cute little skunk...and she must have been warm! :)

Enjoy the non-mobility while you can, because once she gets up and going you'll find yourself much busier! And you'll have to baby proof everything!
