Mother's Day and Nanna and Nanno come for a visit

Words cannot describe the joy I feel being a mom. I can't imagine my life without this sweet little face and the amazing little girl that has yet to emerge. Happy Mother's Day to me...I am so lucky.

We made sure to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take lots of walks. Harper loves the outdoors. If she is fussing at all, we can take her out on the balcony or on the roof or for a walk and she is instantly calm and happy.

The next weekend, my dad and Pat (Nanno and Nanna) came for a visit. They were so excited to see how much Harper had grown and developed. They were amazed by her every move. They also got some great shots of her happy demeanor.

That same weekend, our friend, Linda, her son and sister were also in Seattle. We met Linda on our adventure in New Zealand, so we were so excited to see her again and have her meet Harper.

At one of our many meals, Harper ate her first solid food...some avocado. She wasn't so sure at first but was eager for more after only one bite.

Nanna and Nanno couldn't love on Harper enough.

She is getting more grown-up everyday...sitting more independently, rolling over both ways, standing, "talking", and taking an interest in "real" food. We are loving every second of her discovery and growth.

Daddy can always be counted on to make Harper smile and giggle.
