ten months.

Photobucket
harper is 10 months old.
unreal. here's what she's up to:

loving the bath and swimming! what the heck. it was like one day a light bulb went off and she thought "hey... this is actually really fun... why was i making such a fuss about it??"

crawling all over the place.

eating all kinds of foods. she especially loves peaches and beans, but will pretty much eat anything.

getting 2 more teeth! goodbye vampire, hello chicklets. :)

fighting with her sister. now that she's mobile {and can get into serena's toys}, things are getting crazy around here.

learning how to use things. putting on sunglasses and hats. holding the toy phone to her ear. attempting to use the pen to draw on the magna-doodle.

waving when we say "hi" or "bye".

clapping when we say "yay" or "pat-a-cake".

hamming it up for strangers. {stares at them with a big grin until they look at her and smile back.}

still eating any paper/cardboard she can get her hands on. i'm scared for the board books.

bonking her big head on everything. she always has a lovely display of bruises on her forehead.

time is flying. i need to start thinking about her first birthday party!

{i really need to get a scanner so i can start sharing my instax pics.}

pony.

it was so worth the
30 minute wait in line in
90 degrees for this
3 minute free pony ride.

Photobucket
it was so not worth
3 dollars for this
5 minute ride with only
1 lonely rider.
{she was so bored.}

some people think fun at a lake has to involve boats, jet skis, and the like. we are satisfied with an umbrella, some floaties, and a well-stocked cooler.

our girls trip to bear lake was so fun. the day included the traditional stop in logan for subway sandwiches, perfect weather, shady parking spot, 5 hours at the beach, showers at the marina, cafe sabor for dinner, and a beautiful sunset on our drive home.

serena had a blast digging in the sand, collecting seashells, bothering heather, floating on the lake, and sneaking lots of cookies. i enjoyed laughing with my mom and sisters, soaking up the sun, loving the beautiful view, and watching serena love my favorite lake.

looking forward to introducing harper to the lake next year!

harper is loving finger foods these days, and peaches are a big hit.

they are a big hit for me too. lucky for us, they are in season!

it's a wonderful time of year, isn't it?
