Seventeen (and a half)!

Sitting in her new booster chair at the table (bye bye highchair!)

Having fun at the table

Showing off those newly aquired teeth!

Two baby-baby bottom teeth! We finally got the sand box & wading pool out this past weekend. Harper had so much fun digging in the sand..

and then wiping her hands off in the grass...

the water was bit chilly to lounge in, but wading standing up was just right

such a busy summer, can't believe we only have a couple of weeks before our baby girl is a year and a half! trying to enjoy every moment as she grows + changes, delighting us daily.

love you miss harper grace, mama

Orlando Adventure!

Getting ready for her first flight!

Harper did so well on the plane, we had a great time flying with her...

The 3 of us getting ready to take flight...

We had lots of pool time, Harper loves to swim!

Other than swim, we mostly ate & played & slept - it was a lovely get-away!

First time enjoying worms in dirt (pudding with smashed oreos and gummy worms - yum!)

"movie star"

Pollyanna came down for 3 days & was a huge help while Mike and I attended our first Down Syndrome Congress Conference...

at the pool Harper loved the water fall & "inspecting" the concrete around the edges of the pool

Our last night in Orlando Mike & Harper swam after dinner & had an absolute blast, pics and video to follow..
