Dear Harper,

I sincerely apologize that I'm just now getting to your 6 month post considering your almost 7 months. In my defense, I took you to Disney World, so all should be forgiven.

Love,

Your Momma

Here is what Harper has been up to:

• Harper is VERY distractible! Any noise or sound is super interesting.
• Crawls backwards and upside down (she lays on her back and scoots herself with her feet).
• Gets on her hands and knees from a sitting position and rocks. No crawling yet though.
• is super laid back and easy going. She just goes with the flow.
• Smiles at anyone and anything.
• Loves to stick her tongue out all the time.
• has started to have a little bit of seperation anxiety if I hand her off or leave a room. That's when the whole distractible element comes in handy, and she is fine within seconds.
• has started solids. So far she has had green beans, squash, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, and bananas (and seems to love all of them).
• has 3 teeth. 2 on the bottom and one on the top.
• Laughs very easily now, especially when she's tickled 
• Plays peek-a-boo. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever.
• Sleeping from 7:30-8pm to 8am-ish.
• Is still leaving us guessing on hair color. It gets light then dark. Then has both dark and light together. Then it's red. Who knows???
• Is now on formula full time (Yes, my poor second child, I'm a bad Mom).
• kicks her chubby little legs when she gets excited.
• Is experimenting with lots of new sounds and babble. Dadada, and Bababa are her two favs right now. Gurgling is also a big hit with you.
• hugs me super tight when I pick her up in the morning. I love this soooo much.
• is still the happiest baby ever.
• and as usual, is still completely smitten with her big sister.

Oh my sweet little Harper girl,

You are my little squishy bundle of joy! I would really like to just bottle you up and keep you this size forever. I guess you must grow up though. Let's see what next month brings...
