18 months Old

I cannot believe that Harper is 18 months old! Our baby is very much a toddler now. Harper has become very independent and likes to do things herself (18 months going on 18 years old, I guess). Her typical day starts around 6 AM when she gets up for breakfast - typically toast and a fruit. After she gets dressed, she likes to watch Doc McStuffin or Timmy Time while we do "Beauty School." Harper is still in the toddler room at daycare - however, she will finally be moving up soon! She likes to visit her older friends in the next room sometimes and enjoys playing outside with them at school. She typically days a 2.5 hour nap at daycare (and a 20 min nap on the weekends). Supposedly she is a very good eater at school. Cheryl said it's common that Harper wants seconds - and that if she isn't fast enough, she will help herself to the other kid's food. If she really liked the meal, she will pick up her plate and lick it clean. After daycare, Harper LOVES to play outside. She has mastered climbing up her slides. Harper has also learned how to go down the stairs on the deck. When she isn't outside, she is playing with her toys (music table, dolls, balls) or chasing the dog and cat. Her vocabulary has flourished and she will repeat almost anything you say. However, she still get's confused about who is momma ....so Ross is frequently referred to as her momma. She gets a bedtime snack every night. She can eat more pears and peaches than an adult - she frequently eats 4 pear halves before bed. Around 8 pm, she grabs her blanket and strolls over to Ross so that she can cuddle and fall asleep on his shoulder. She's amazong and we love it!

Harper is now 31" tall and weighs 22 lbs and 8 oz (21%). She's a peanut with a lot of personality! :)
