Mishmash Update: Long overdue!

My absence from this blog is a good indication of how busy life has been with our giggly, bubbly, active, independent, determined little girl.

We regularly find ourselves looking at each other saying "did she just do/say that?!" Or "where did she learn that?!" It is really amazing how she has transformed from a baby to a little girl in the blink of an eye. She is talking in paragraphs (and we are even understanding bigger and bigger portions of it). She is running all over and LOVES to dance! She is in love with the Disney princesses and knows most of them by name (and song). She is certainly making her opinions known. She only has one volume.... Loud! One of her "teachers" describes her as "saucy" and we think that is a perfect description for the combination of attitude and sweetness.

Here are some long overdue photos... A mishmash of the last few months, but glimpse into our world!



Giving her friends the tour of the new house... Her big girl bed was a huge hit (even if she isn't sleeping in it yet).



A trendsetter, if course.



Bowling with her playgroup.



"Good morning mommy" (This is before she started insisting that every stuffed animal she can find sleeps in her crib with her).



Keeping her buddy company at the vet - reading him a magazine.



Hanging around at open gym with her buddy Gigi.



"What? You don't eat breakfast like this?"


Modeling the cowboy hat her cousins from Texas brought her.



Enjoying the lazy river at the Water Park of America.... This was much lazier for Harper than mommy, who had to support her weight with my hands!



Cousin time! (Then more fun for them and home for bed for the princess).



Happy St. Patrick's Day!
