Say cheese!

 At Harper's birthday, we had a "photo booth" set up for Harper's guests to have their picture taken...with or without Harper, depending on her proximity and mood ;)

We will let Jordan introduce you to the photo booth, he seems so comfortable in front of the camera...

Okay, now that you get the idea, here are Harper's special guests:

Cousins! 

Ashleigh & Little Miss Harper

 Nana & Papa

Ashleigh's beau Ryan...Harper really likes him!

The Bunting's

Great Grandma & Grandpa Jenkins

Gramma & Pops

Miss Andra....whom we copied the photo booth idea from =)

Lindsay

Great Aunt Nancy & Great Grandpa Curtis

Uncle Joey (or Joe-Joe as I am trying to teach Harper)

Harper's Great Grandma Gigi

Papa Gene

Taylor & Megan

(Great) Grammy

Smiley Girl & Nana

Sadly, we are missing a few photos of some of the party goers. Don't worry, I'll get ya next time!

One day, Harper will love seeing all of these special faces. 

These boots were made for walkin'....

Look at these boxes!

Those boxes have big girl shoes in there. They have soles and velcro and everything!

This is the easiest pair to wear right now, they have the most flexile sole. And they are precious.

And then these are the show stoppers. Such a crowd pleaser. 

See, she'll even show you...

It's amazing how the little things (like shoe shopping) become huge milestones when it has to do with your baby. 

Wild Child

This is how Harper woke up on Friday. I don't have any idea how her hair got this way. And honestly, I am not sure how I got it back to normal. 

But this sums up what I believe about Harper...she is a mess!

Dear Harper is ONE

We had Harper's first birthday party last weekend. She was such a trooper! We found out the next day that she was coming down with Bronchitis. We knew her allergies had been making her sleepy but she was extra sleepy that day and we just assumed that she was a bit overwhelmed. But nonetheless, she opened lots of presents, ate her first cake and had lots of visitors. 

Her party was supposed to be deer themed, she loves deer and it was one of her first words. But it was quite a challenge to decorate with "cute" deer. So the theme kind of dwindled. And most importantly the birthday girl looked extra cute in her party dress, if I do say so myself. 

here she is eating her very first gummy bear

of course the deer joined in the celebration

Harper loves Miss Julie!

ready for cake

She was such a delicate eater...and she is a girl after mama's own heart, only ate the icing. That's my girl!

She loved looking at her photos. Not sure when she'll let me take them down. It is amazing how she has grown!

Happy Birthday Harper!

She is ONE year old today! 

12 stickers is one too many! I'm sick of them mom!

She's a walker!

Precious!

Happy Monthday Harper Belle!

Harper loves our little family picture...from 11 months ago! Wow!

Almost a year old, amazing.

Happy 11 Months!

Cruisin' right along

Harper has a renewed love for her walker. She had taken a break from it (due to frustration with sharp turns). 

But, boy does it wear her out!!!
