Harper's Latest Developments

Harper is really starting to get chatty lately. She will talk back and forth with me for long periods of time. She gets so excited and makes the cutest noises. For a while it seems she has been on the verge of giggling, but no giggles yet, just a lot up different pitched cute noises.

She is starting to be very alert and very responsive. She is responding to tickling, and has begun studying things a lot more.

She is also starting to hold her toys. Yesterday, her butterfly toy was in her bouncy seat and she grabbed it. I had to change her diaper, picked her up, took her into the nursery, and she held on to her toy the whole time! It was so cute. Then after being changed, she gave Mrs. Butterfly a toss (she didn't fly).

She has had a favorite toy for a while, Mr. Dragonfly. She loves Mr. Dragonfly. He will always make her smile, even when she's crying, she starts smiling in between cries, it's so adorable. We have a whole spread in her scrapbook devoted to Mr. Dragonfly.
