I'm 11 Months Old!! And I have a new cousin!!

Wow -- 11 months already! Harper is just a sweetie, growing more and more every day and I can't believe how fast time has gone by! She's still THIS CLOSE to walking AND crawling, but not doing either consistently yet. She can take a few steps here and there but she's developed a fear after a few little falls. She has her own style of crawling, so she can get around by pulling herself with her arms, but she hasn't figured out how to use those knees yet! She did crawl correctly the other day, but only a few feet then she flopped back down on her belly. And no, it doesn't matter how many times I try to show her, she still drops to her belly and pulls herself by her arms!

Lately I've created a little play ring on our living room floor, which keeps her busy. All of the furniture is placed in a U-shape and she just walks herself back and forth all along the ring, and sometimes she plays on the rug in the middle, pushing and pulling herself along the floor. She also walks in her walker, and can walk by pushing her walker, if it doesn't go too fast!

I am busy planning her 1st birthday party -- yippee! And here is the "e-vite" I've put together...I do have some paper ones, but I thought I'd post it here, too!! Let me know if you're coming!!


And we found out some wonderful news today -- Harper has a new baby girl cousin today! Madeline Lauren was born early this morning to Dan and Kirsten, so that makes 10 grandchildren on Glenn's side! And I love that the youngest 3 are all girls. :) There is Christian (12), Romeo (9), Kendra (9), Titus (7), Zane (6), Bing (6), Zeik (4), Blessin (1), Harper (11 months) and Madeline (1 day!!).
