my little monkey!

Harper is loving her newfound mobility! She loves to crawl...but more than that, she loves to CLIMB! She climbs anything and everything!  We've also been letting her drink out of our water glasses and eat puffs. She loves it!

she gets so proud of herself!

best teething ring ever! it massages her gums!

oh dear!

Harper's Baby Dedication

Sunday our church honored the new parents and babies through their annual Baby Dedication Service.

In our church, we wait for the child/adult to tell when they want to accept Christ into their heart; so, this service is more for parents to commit to raising their child in a Christian home.

Here's a few pictures from the day!

Afterwards, I hosted a Dessert Reception at our house. It was a blast, but BOY am I worn out from getting the party ready, cleaning up, and then cooking us dinner tonight!

Thanks to our family who were able to be here!

Momma's Day

I'm so lucky to be a MOMMA this year!!!  Well, I feel lucky to be Harper's Momma!

I had a great day getting to celebrate with my Mom and my Sister...along with our families.
Harper got me a very sweet gift and my parents got us a joint Mother's/Father's Day gift! :) So sweet.

crazy cousin love

the ABSOLUTE best gift I've ever been given.

Oh, AND Harper decided to finally quit the 'elephant crawl' and go full on crawling!! We have a crawler in the house! What a WONDERFUL gift for Brian and I to get to see her finally do it - instead of at the sitter's home first! :)


Hoping all the Mom's felt special today, the Moms-to-Be felt excited for what is to come today, and the hopeful Mom's felt some type of comfort in today.

I can TRULY say, there's nothing like a Mother's Love.
