It is Harper. She took her first step a week ago today and now she is up to 5-6 steps before falling. She is only 9 1/2 months so she is a bit of an overachiever. She loves it!! Let the adventures begin!! I took this video after Harper finished eating some watermelon which explains her lack of clothes - the video is a bit long because it took awhile to get Harper to walk without her ride along
Besides the excitement of Harper walking we have had a busy month. We were in Michigan for the annual Coast Guard Festival and the girls had such a great time. I think the beach was their favorite. We were there for over 2 weeks and rented the cutest cottage. We went to the kids parade, watched the Coast Guard boats come in, went to the carnival (and went on the slowest merry go round ever - I can twirl faster), went to the craft fair, went to the big parade (we had to leave early due to cranky Reagan needing a nap) & top it off with the fireworks (Harper missed them but Reagan watched in awe). Then we decided to save a buck take the ferry from Michigan to Milwaukee and fly home from Milwaukee. STUPID!! We won't be doing that again. Lake Michigan was rather rough and the 2 1/2 ferry ride took 3 hours and all of us were not feeling so hot. Phil and I spent the 3 hour ferry ride covered in throw-up from both of the girls. We were a sight and to top it all off we had to take separate cabs to the hotel b/c Milwaukee for some odd reason couldn't give us a mini van. I threw REagan in the cab with the carry ons while I helped the cabbie try to break our double-wide trying to get it in his trunk. I think Reagan found my cell and wasn't happy that it wouldn't turn on since it needed to be charged and threw it on the seat. Alas, my cell is somewhere in Milwaukee.
Since we have been back we have been busy. We have joined a slew of meetup groups for the girls to play with. Last week we had a playgroup every day except one and I have taken the plunge and hired babysitters. Since Phil is never around and there is so much to do with the house especially painting and there is no way to get anything done with both munchkins demanding my attention. We have found a couple of wonderful girls so we feel lucky.
