Harper has been embarking on the adventure of walking. Crawling has served her very well over the last year but it’s time to be upright. There are some outtakes that would diminish the glory of the moment so don’t believe that these are her first steps but these are her first artfully recorded steps.

Here are a few words Harper has uttered (occasionally in context):
water (this was a big one, said unsolicited when I picked up a glass of water to drink while holding her!)
dog (the g is silent and refers to Cadiz our cat as well)
shoe (pronounced “sue”)
uh-oh
da da (sometimes associated with the art movement, sometimes associated with Papa Hog)
mama (…ma ma ma ma, hey I’ll take what i can get)
hi (often repeated in a protracted call and response routine with Mama and Papa)
bye bye (pronounced “ba ba”)
all done (pronounced “ah duh” and used intermittently with simultaneous yelling and hand waving, presumably an approximation of sign language)
More to come…
Harper is surrounded by fascinating zippers kindly hosted by Grandma and Uncle Dave.
Apparently Papa’s tools are no solution for teething.
