Sesame Street

This is only the second time I have put Sesame Street on for Harper (normally we aren't around in the morning when it comes on PBS)...she really seems into it though, as you will see by the pictures! I remember watching Sesame Street as a kid and I think it would be pretty cool to have my own daughter watch it too!

Thanksgiving/Harvest Tree

Halloween is over so it's time for the Thanksgiving/Harvest tree!!

First Family Pumpkin Carving

Baby Legs

I almost forgot that I had these adorable Baby Legs for Harper! They are still a little big on her but they still do the job of keeping her legs warm! These things are awesome because they are cute leg warmers that I can easily pull over her legs and she instantly has pants! :) They look cute with onsies, skirts, dresses...and when she gets a little older she can use them like leggings!

Halloween Playdates

It's been a busy week...Harper and I have attended 2 Halloween Playdates and we still have one more Halloween gathering to attend tomorrow! So Harper is definitely getting use out of her costume! If you are wondering, Harper is a punk rock baby! :) On Wednesday we went to Aunt Ellie's house where we got to play with some friends and Aunt E took a picture of Harper in her costume, we can't wait to see the pics! Today we went to a playdate with 30 other babies and their mamas...what a sight that was! We ate yummy treats, had a costume contest and took some cute pics of all the kiddos together...so much fun! Harper and I are very lucky to have met some wonderful new friends!

My little pumpkin fairy! Thanks for the cute outfit Granny!
