Zoo Lights!

We decided to go to the Zoo Lights this year and I am so glad we did! It is a new Kunz family tradition :) The lights were amazing, and the Santa they had there for the kids was AWESOME!! The line took a little bit longer to see him but when it came time for the girls to sit on his lap I knew exactly why. He took his time and asked Kinsey some questions and even read the letter she wrote for him. I was very impressed!

Getting all bundled up to stay warm

Kinsey was so excited to give Santa her letter!

Harper was so tired by this time.. poor thing!

Our family photographer was running a Christmas mini session and I had to jump on the offer! I am so happy I did because the girls had so much fun wearing their Santa hats and the pictures turned out perfect!!! Thanks Think Of Me Photography!!!

Miss Harps 12 Month Update

Well I no longer have a baby.. I have a couple of toddlers in my house to chase after every day! :) I cannot believe how fast life goes after you have kids. They grow at such fast rates and if you blink you might miss something. I am so lucky I get to stay home with my beautiful girls and watch them grow every.single.day! Harper turning 1 has been so hard for me... She might be our last baby and I cry just thinking about it haha!

Anyways! Harper is growing perfectly and is so very healthy!! Here are her stats from her dr appointment:
Head circumference: 43cm (I didnt get a percentile on this because the MA who was new, told me they dont do percentiles for the head measurement... WRONG! I have gotten them every other time haha..)
Weight: 19.9 lbs 52nd percentile
Height: 29 in 44th percentile

Harper has gained a lot of weight since her 9 month check up but it is exactly what I expected. This girl can eat!!! Plus she has been on formula for a couple months and that seems to be more fattening.. Zane was very pleased with her growth and so is mommy :)

*Harper is not quite walking yet. She pulls herself up on everything and walks along furniture. She also will walk on her knees haha its the funniest thing :) It is just a matter of weeks before she is walking on her feet I'm sure.

*Snuggling is Harper's specialty. She will drop what is is playing with and crawl over to me and just give me the biggest hugs and kisses, then go back to what she was doing! I LOVE IT!

*Her schedule has changed just a little bit. She goes to bed between 7-7:30pm and wakes up around 8am. Then has an afternoon nap from 1-330. She likes her sleep ;)

*I have not found many foods that Harper doesnt like.. She always has seconds at every meal and would eat 24/7 if I let her

*Thanks to big sister Kinsey, Harper is quite the drama queen. She throws herself back and will do the fakest cry lol

*Her and Kinsey fight and love like best friends and sisters. They will be so lovey one minute, then the next they are fighting and yelling at each other over a toy! Let the fun begin...

*Harper does not like to sit still. She is always moving and going after something!

*She only says a few words right now.. like mama, dada, and eeoo (yep she calls for our dog Leo!)

*Miss Harps has a smile that lights up a room, holy moly! She has the cutest little teeth to go along with it as well ;)

*I dont have an actual count on the number of teeth she has because some of them pop threw and then go back in.. but she has 5 that are there to stay haha

We love you more than words can describe Miss Harps!!

Harper's FIRST Birthday!!!!!

Holy smokes my baby girl is ONE!! I cant believe how fast time has gone by, but it feels like Harper has been a part of this family forever. She is so perfect and Brandon and I couldnt have asked for a better little girl, and Kinsey coundnt have asked for a better little sister ;). Harper is so happy and so fun to be around! I love her to pieces!!!!

I decided to go with the "owl" theme and I am pleased with how everything turned out :) I made her shirt and her tutu, then she had the traditional hair bow that Kinsey wore on her first birthday. The plan was to have a small family gathering, but Harper is just so loved and we have so much supportive family, that our house was packed! There was lots of laughing and good times :) Big sister Kinsey was all about Harper's party. I started decorating the day before and Kinsey was ecstatic and "Harper's party" was all she could talk about! She was also quite the helper when it came time to open presents and eat the cake ;)
Harper got spoiled with love on her first birthday and I am so thankful for everyone that took the time to come celebrate with us!! :)

Birthday girl did not want to wake up :)
