We started potty training Harper 3 weeks ago. And it's been going really well. Only hiccup is that she does not like to poop on the potty. But hopefully we can work through that soon. She even wakes up from her naps/nighttime 90% of the time dry. So we are very pleased with how well it's going.  And a little surprised at how time consuming it is!  Below is Harper's potty sticker chart after the first weekend. She loves to pick out the stickers for the chart.

One Sunday night, after watching a Curious George cartoon where George had made puppets, Harper asked to make puppets. Since I was busy making dinner, it became a craft activity with Daddy. And it turned out hilarious. Noah really got into designing the animal puppets out of recycled containers we had.

This is Harper's turtle puppet.

This is all the puppets they made - a horse from a butter container, a turtle from cardboard and a fish from an OJ jug.

And then of course, they had to put on a puppet show! Noah put rubberbands around them so she'd have something to hold onto.

Baby #2 is now 19 weeks along - and this is a photo at 18 weeks. We had an appointment at 18 weeks and then an ultrasound at 19. And the ultrasound revealed that Harper will be a big sister to a little brother! Noah is extremely excited and I was very surprised (but excited). Harper says she's having a little brother and it'll be a girl! Kind of funny.

Harper is loving the Christmas season!  We put up our decorations very early and have been watching xmas movies and reading books. She loves it all! We have a very small tree that we put up since our living room would not accomdate a large tree. So Aunt Amy invited Harper up to help decorate her big tree. Harper again loved this and thought it was pretty fun!
