And always end with a dip and a kiss. It makes mommies and babies very happy!

afternoon stroll.

Harper and I went out for some fresh air and a walk a couple weeks ago and took a few pictures.

our little chatterbox

Harper loves to carry on conversations with us these days. And we think it’s pretty darn adorable!

a good night.

Over the last week we’ve been doing some sleep training. We thought it was time that she learned to fall asleep in her bed and not need to be rocked to sleep. It has gotten progressively better, but last night {tues. jan. 19} rocked!

We put her to bed at 9:30pm. She was wide awake when we put her down but there were no tears. {She’s been crying anywhere from 15 min to 1 hr until she’d fall asleep}. She woke up at about 5:30am to eat and went back down shortly after 6am. At 9:40am, I thought I heard her make a noise, so I went in to check on her. She was wide awake when I walked in and she greeted me with the BIGGEST smile.

Now, that is what I’m talking about. I love my baby girl!!

photos, photos, photos!!

My friend Lindsey and her family came to visit us during the holidays and I begged her to take a few family pictures for us with her new camera. She did such an amazing job. Here are some of our favorites:
