Harper | Ten Months

Nicknames: Harpie, Harpie Bug, Harps
Weight: 21-22 pounds - not totally sure since we didn't have a doctor's appointment this past month.
Height: 28 inches long as of her 9 month check-up
Looks: That hair grows longer and longer by the day - you're kinda rocking the beginning stages of a baby mullet. Everyone says you still look like daddy, which is fine with me. :) 
Personality: So social - talking with everybody at the grocery store. You're pretty outdoorsy - you love being outside in the evenings. You're busy, busy, busy.
Eating: Lots of puffs - trying out some big kid foods. Some foods are easier than others it seems, still having the pureed baby foods too.
Sleeping: Some nights are great, others are not. Several are not, but you're cute, so it's okay!
Wearing: 9 month clothes - working our way into 12 months.
Favorite Things: Bath time, baby yoga, playing outside, eating grass, listening to us sing, day care, being a wild woman.
Least Favorite Things: Not being able to eat the grass and leaves. 
Within the last month:

• Attended and participated in your very first wedding as the flower girl for Cale and Anissa
• Visited the pumpkin patch for the first time and looked outrageously cute
• Played a lot outside and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather
• We had a week off together for fall break!

Curls, Stripes, & Fall

You know how some days your kids just look extra cute? Of course they look cute every day. 

But some days - their hair is extra flippy and curly.  Their red and white striped shirt has no stains when you pick them up from daycare.  And you just look at them and wonder how they ever got so cute.
That was this day. Harper's hair had a cute little flip thing going on. She looked extra sparkly clean. And the fall sun setting behind our house looked cozy and comforting.

 

Harper's First Halloween

Harper's first Halloween could not have been more perfect.

I was a little worried having her up late because her little bod is on such. a. schedule.

But she rocked it and you could tell she had fun watching the other kids and riding around in her wagon. She didn't get the candy concept too well, but she looked super cute as a little black kitty cat for her first trick-or-treating trip. 

Fun fact: I was a black cat my first Halloween too. :)
