Walking the walk...

Here's Harper, walking!

Parking + Walking!

Last night we went to the park...

Harper is ready to explore the world! She took on the playground last night!

Ready to go down the slide, all by herself! The twisty one she did with dad...

Harper just loves to swing, the higher the better for our "danger girl"!

On Monday night, she started to walk all by herself using her walking toy! We are so proud!
