Somebody turned ONE!

Well I'm SO far behind, but there are a few things I must document....

such as...

our little Harper turning the big number ONE.  I can't even believe I have to utter such an age. (Even almost 3 months later!!)  I'm part of the cliche mommy group that can't believe their baby has grown so much so quickly.  But alas, we have reached this milestone and we sure do love our one year old girl!

 Here she is with Great Grandma Williams after Christmas....sick.  So sad.

 Playing with Daddy...getting ready for the trek to G&G Williams' house in Utah.

 And here's the birthday girl on her big day...December 26th!  This girl doesn't like to get messy (she is her mama's daughter) so she was quite hesitant at first to dig into her chocolate cupcake.  I had to give her the first bite and then she slowly got going.

 This is her hesitating...wondering if the mess is worth it.

 Then she decides that it is.

 Mama & Baby...er...Girlie

Daddy & Daughter

We sure do love our Harper-Lulu.  She has the sweetest disposition and is usually just so content to just sit and read books (her FAVORITE activity!) or play and babble to herself.  As of her 1st birthday she still wasn't crawling or walking on her own.  (She is now...well not walking on her own yet, but close.)  But you can see her figuring things out and thinking about what we're saying and trying to communicate with us with her cute little voice and "language".  She's pretty much a mama's girl at this point, but is usually pretty happy to go play with other people.  But when it comes to naptime or bedtime...I must be around.

Harper, we love you.  Thank you for bringing us joy beyond imagination.  Happy Birthday baby girl!
