My sweet little girl isn't so little anymore. She is turning into a little lady. Lately Harper has been cracking me up. Everything she does is so funny to me. In church when we were singing hymns, she started yelling and waving her arms like she was singing along. It was so cute I couldn't help but bust up laughing. Harper is making all sorts of noises, but no real babbling yet. We are working on reading to her more and talking more around her. I know it will come, but I jut get stressed out when I see her even a little behind other babies her age. Harper isn't crawling yet either, but she is soo close. I think with more tummy time she will have it mastered in no time. She is finally wearing size 3 diapers and is around 18 lbs. Baby girl currently has a cold. We are all a little sick around here. But she is still her active crazy self. Tonight is Harper's first night back in her own bed (Dang CA trip messed us up so badly). I have hopes that this time will stick though. We are putting her in a pack and play by our bed and then moving in to her room in a week or two. We have to make baby steps since she is older. We waited way too long to put her in her own bed. I will miss those late night snuggles though. Love my precious girl too much. I am excited for all the fun things to come. Including her eating more solids and giving me more hugs. Love you to the moon my sweet princess.

I am trying a new thing where I do a weekend wrap up (as you can tell from the title haha). Hopefully I will do this often and it won't just be a one time thing. Life is crazy busy though so we will see. Taylor and I had a lot of fun this weekend. I feel like I am finally dating my husband again. With Harper going to bed earlier we are able to hang out and get some marriage time. On Saturday we celebrated our anniversary at Olive Garden. It was delicious obviously and way crowded like always. Can't live without that salad and breadstick combo. We brought Harper along of course because she is our favorite and our babysitter moved back to CA. Miss you Hannah. We put Harper in a high chair (rookie mistake). She was seriously crazy throwing stuff left and right, grabbing everything she could. Flirting with employees walking by and clinging onto their aprons. I wasn't even embarrassed. I was cracking up because this chick is too cute to be mad at. On the drive home, I felt like Taylor and I were back in our early days of dating. He is just the sweetest cutest guy. He kept telling me how beautiful I was and how much he loved me. This guys just melts my heart into a mushy gushy ice cream cone. On Sunday, we went to church like we do every week. It is such a special time to bond as a family and show Harper what we believe in. Harper sang along to the hymns (yelled endlessly) and made friends with every one she could. There are a few babies her age in our ward and she was having a blast playing around with them during the last hour. Every one in Relief Society probably thought I was a crazy person because I was sitting on the floor crawling around with my child. I don't even care what they think of me. Call me when you have a hyper baby who won't sit still. I was grateful to enjoy another weekend with my two favorite people. Every day I just feel more and more blessed that I get to have these amazing people in my life. I love the three of us.
