Harper's almost 1!







I get asked all the time "Does Harper look just like Marlie?" and for the first 6-7 months of her life the answer was "Yes!".  In 10 days she will turn 1 and I've caught myself over the past year always comparing the girls and trying to remember what Marlie was like at each milestone vs Harper.  It is definitely different being a 2nd time mom...I have always felt more relaxed and have been able to enjoy motherhood more this time even though there was a pretty heavy sleep-deprivation fog that lasted too long!  I came across some old pics of Marlie at the same age as Harper is now and thought I would show everyone that they look very different.  Harper definitely has a more daddy-look, which I'm not sure is actually a physical thing or just her quarky personality...time will tell!  One thing for sure, I have two very "spirited" girls who love their life, love their mama and daddy and give us so many opportunities to laugh!  Harper has been really walking this week...she spent  a good 20 minutes the other night just walking all over the house...I imagined a little dotted line on the ground for every step as she looped around the table, into the bathroom, back to the kitchen, across the living room and then back again around the table all while holding a big pink balloon and smiling like crazy!  I got it on video but will spare you!  We're looking forward to summer and have been busy sprucing up the yard, planting a garden and planning for our summer activities and trips.  Love to all!
