Harper 21 months


Harper is a repeating, singing, dancing little pixie these days. She repeats everything Lucy says and she loves to chime in on songs. My favorite is when Lucy says "I'm going to play by myself" and Harper taunts her by saying, "I'm going to play by self!" , all along following Lucy to wherever she is going.
She can catch onto songs hearing them just once and will then try to sing them with you. She requests "sic" (music) all the time, in the car, in the front room, in the basement and she can even be caught dancing all by herself to "Candy Girl" or "Sugar, Sugar" in the guest room.
She is getting opinionated on everything and wants to help choose her clothes, he activities, her snacks and what movies we will watch.
She is getting more independent. She wants to get into her high chair by herself, take off her own shoes, get her own snacks, help with chores and start her own cds.
She cracks Lucy up every night with a discussion or monologue about toots. She has been overheard claiming "Mommy toots, Daddy toots, Graham toots, Lucy toots, Harper toots...."
She can strike a pose which Ian describes as the Jc Penney Sunday ad for "mom jeans". I am still working on getting the best picture of this and will post it as soon as it is truly captured.
She is growing and is finally in 18 month pants! Her birthday is around the corner and I am sure she will have an opinion as to how it is celebrated. Let's just hope that the theme is not "everybody toots"!
