Our Life on the Farm: Fun Favorites

We've anxiously been awaiting the arrival of warmer weather. With the exception of today, looks like spring is here. While we love the nice weather, we know with that nice weather comes busy times for Noah. We are all hoping for a smooth, normal, spring planting season.

Harper continues to be so much fun! Some highlights:

She's starting to get interested in the potty. She'll sit on it, but not "produce" anything. More than anything, she likes to play with her potty (see photo below).
She can count to 10 in Spanish (thank you Dora!) and she can count backwards.
We feel like we can have conversations with her and rationalize with her. We'll see how long that lasts!
No real "terrible 2" moments yet...although, there are times when she's crabby - but everyone has those days!
She's eating better - at last! Favorite foods right now - yogurt, strawberries, sweet potato fries, chicken, pancakes, cereal, cookies and ice cream.
We went to Dairy Queen one night for ice cream (Harper had never had any to that point) and as we are in the drive thru, she said: "I would like some ice cream too!" She said this probably 10 times, so we got her a small cup of vanilla and she was beyond excited. She sat with the cup and looked at it for a while - then I finally got her to try it. And she loved it! The entire drive home, she said: "I love my ice cream."
She attended the b-day party of her best buddy Evan. She really loved the party hats and Dora cake at the party.
She still loves to sing and read books. Now she's to the point where she's making up her own songs and making up stories while she flips thru pages in the books.
Peppa Pig (cartoon) has now trumped Dora for her favorite cartoon. Never thought that would happen!
Enjoy the photos below...

She loves her bike helmet. Will wear it everywhere!

Daddy's new toy...he and Caleb checking it out, while Noah is in his long underwear.

Helmet on while riding her 4-wheeler.

Helmet still on while playing on her slide.

A cute ponytail one night.

Hmmm, this isn't exactly how potty-training is supposed to go. Thankfully she has not actually "gone" in this potty so Lion did not need a wash after this!

This is the bed head she has everyone morning!

Super cute in pigtails!

Mom and Dad got a new dog - Chloe. She's a 5-year old lab that came from a guy who was getting a divorce and could not keep her. She's a super sweet dog and loves to be around people. She also loves to ride in the gator...
