20 Months Old!!!

September was the perfect kick off for fall. Harper had her first experience apple picking (she ate more then she picked.) We also visited a farm and picked some pumpkins. Harper liked the baby pumpkins. We have also been exploring the leaves that are falling at an amazing rate. Our first trip in September was a visit to Maine for Jaiden's first birthday and enjoyed a visit with Theo.

This month Harper took her first dance class. It was a five week class and Harper got more and more interested every week. She can even show off a few of her moves. I'll try to catch her on video soon.

This was also a fun month for Will and I as we went to one wedding in September and another wedding in early October. We also celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on October 1st. That means we had three date nights in only a few weeks. Definitely a special treat. Grandpa Gerry has gotten really good at getting Harper down to sleep. We're trying not to abuse this new skill :)

In other news Harper is still at a super fun stage. She learns new words everyday and shocks us with the things she knows and understands. She's becoming my little helper in many ways. She is also starting to exhibit some confidence and defiance. If she doesn't want to do something she let's you know. A few of her favorite things include her baby doll Lulu, coloring and playing with stickers and going for walks. We are also taking music class again and it's so fun to see how much she remembers and how much she enjoys it. I also have to admit that singing goodbye to those instruments a few times every week makes transitions at home a lot easier.

Here are a few of our favorite Harper photos from the past month:
