How cute are these? Outside of the Likely Fire Hall on a beautiful summer day!

Lots of backyard pics!

Way too much gravel, originally uploaded by lmlcphotos.

We've worked really hard on the backyard lately and I have a whole set dedicated to it on my Flickr account! Click the link to go take a look at the transformation!

This picture was taken yesterday after spreading the gravel, but notice that we still have a huge mountain after we've spread it to where we want to spread it! We can't open our shop door yet. :)

I love peas!

We hung out at Grandma and Grandpa's ranch last weekend, so I took some pictures when we were having lunch. Harper loves eating real food, especially peas, blueberries, bananas, biter biscuits and puffs!

More pics!

We've (and by we I mean Glenn) has been busy on the backyard! He tilled up the entire thing so we can put down some gravel paths and new grass, and here are some pics for you!

Harper pics!

Just thought I'd post some pics of Miss H for you all...I know, I've been lagging on the posting. :) Busy with my other blog and hanging out with Harper this summer! Can't wait to see you all at her birthday party!!!

10 Months (and 1 Day Old!) and my 100th Post!

Harper is just a joy, I can't believe we've only had her 10 months! She is very vocal...yelling at the cabinet as I type. :) She is getting closer and closer to crawling and walking every day, but isn't there yet! She is finally on a nap schedule, and sleeping in her own crib all night! She still thinks she needs to wake up once or twice, but she's getting better and better at sleeping every day. Night time isn't so stressful anymore and that's a plus!

She now has 8 teeth, more and more hair, and is eating lots of solid foods all by herself! She loves bananas and will eat a half of one all by herself! She also scoots everywhere in her walker, but she'll usually cry when we first put her in it. After she's in, she's off and running!!

Now for more fun stuff - her 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY! Be on the lookout for the official invitation, but here are the details:
Saturday, August 8th, 2:00 PM at Mahogany Ridge Guest Ranch!

If you didn't know, that is Glenn's parents' guest ranch out in Jess Valley. The house is booked and ready for the par-tay!! Feel free to contact me with any questions! Our home phone number is 530-233-4678 and my e-mail is lmlchristensen@gmail.com. Yay!

My Little Jumping Bean!

I took this video a day or two ago and she's already a lot better than this in her "Jenny Jump Up!" She loves it and jumped in it for an hour this morning! So cute!!

I love this picture. I just thought I'd blog a post my photography "skills" for you. :)

9 Months Has Flown By!!

Wow. Harper's 8th month has been a HUGE one! Let's see...we went to Costa Rica and she did GREAT while hanging out with my mom! She got her first case of exzema on her face...as well as her first yeast rash on her little bum! It was really horrible at first, but it is all cleared up now! She is constantly saying mamamamama and dadadadada and we're starting to wonder if it's on purpose! Especially when she says mama when she's crying! :) She also gives mama big, sloppy kisses when I ask for them!

She LOVES to be walked around - we hold her hands and she walks everywhere. She cries when we stop! It's exhausting! She is able to get into crawling position - she hasn't figured out how to go forward but she can scoot backwards! She also stood for a few seconds on her own a few times now!! I almost cried when she did it. She has figured out her "Jenny Jump Up" that Uncle GH got for her! She loves it and jumps all over the place!

Also, she is (mostly) sleeping through the night in her own crib!!! The doctor told us it was time to kick her out of our bed as she was waking up 2 or 3 times a night for a little midnight snack. :) The first night was horrible (she cried for 2 hours!) but she's getting better...if she does wake up it's only for a few minutes as we can rock her right back to sleep. I liked letting her sleep with us, but it's actually really nice to have our bed back!!

She's got 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on the bottom) and she's been chewing on everything - I am thinking more bottom ones are coming soon! She is very interested in eating real food. She eats a lot of rice cereal and bananas, pears, squash, green beans, avocados, and yogurt. And she gets little tastes of things we're eating, but we have to be careful because she's learned to take BIG BITES! Oh - and when she went to the doctor for her rashes she was 29 inches tall and weighed 21 pounds, 13 ounces - she's in the 90th percentile for her birthday!

The little angel will be crawling and/or walking and talking very soon!!! And her birthday is in 2 and 1/2 months!!! Be on the lookout for birthday party details. :)

xoxoxo,
Lindsay, Glenn and Harper
