Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving - getting to see both sides of the family.  Had lunch with Noah's family in Pella and then dinner back home at the farm with my family. Harper enjoyed seeing everyone - and believe it or not she was the only one who actually ate turkey on Thanksgiving! Of course, it was baby food turkey and noodles....but the rest of our meals did not feature turkey, which was kind of fun!

Hard to believe it is December 1 - and I'm happy to report today is the day Noah and Caleb will finish combining! Hooray! It's been another LOOOONNNNGGGGG harvest/fall...but at long last, it will be over. Just in time for him to start taxes, holiday shopping and other year-end "stuff".

Highlights in Harper's development:

• She's learned to clap! It only took her one night to learn.
• She's finallly waving "bye bye" to people. This took a couple months of teaching!
• She has 6 teeth now.
• She loves crawling, climbing and exploring. On Thanksgiving, she decided to follow Mollie up the stairs! I caught her as she got up her first step. Guess it's time for baby gates!
• She's eating more table food - this has been a slow process. But so far she likes fruits, yogurt, green beans, carrots, graham crackers, vanilla wafers and has figured out her sippy cup.
• She likes to help me pull laundry out of the dryer.
• She loves books and LOVES to pull them off her shelf and flip thru the pages.
• Her hair is finally coming in - and has a little curl in the back.
• She looks like Noah when he was a baby - same face and hair! (Poor little girl! Ha!)
• She loves the legos at Aunt Amy's house.
• Mollie can still make her laugh unlike anyone else! It's so fun to watch them together!
