Harper will be one year old next Wednesday, February 10th! He has accomplished a lot in last 12 months and reflecting on how far he has come makes us very excited about the road that lays ahead of us. Harper can now feed himself (with his hands), he can pick up a spoon and toss it across the room from his high chair, he can drink from a cup, he can put 10 goldfish in his mouth at one time, he can "cruise" holding onto furniture, he can play ball with us, he can say "Heeeee", he can clap his hands and he can hand things to you if you ask for them.
Harper loves cars, trucks or anything with wheels. He also likes books and pointing at things. He loves applesauce and sweet potato fries and cheerios accidently dropped on the ground. He is ticklish on his tummy and under his chin and when he laughs you can see his seven teeth.
"Cheeks", as we call him, recently completed a swim class and seems to really love the water. Frank takes him to music class now and they are both really enjoying it. Harper sways to the music and has started using the instruments that they hand out. The teacher says that he is very attentive and thanked Frank once for being the "rock" of the class (the other kids go beserk throughout the class and Harper is the only one that sits there).
Frank and I are growing as well, learning how to handle this parenting thing. We're very excited that we now have a niece and nephew! It's going to be tough to be "Cool Uncle Frank" and "Wicked Cool Aunt Dyani" from soo far away but we'll give it our best shot.
