A Week of Firsts
Harper has had an exciting week of firsts! On Monday she pulled herself up to standing in her crib for the first time ever. That is how I found her when I went to get her up from her nap. She was very proud of herself! Monday was also the first day she started clapping her hands together repeatedly. Now we say “yea Harper!” and “clap, clap, clap” and she claps her hands together with a big smile on her face.
On Tuesday she had her first legitimate crawling session. We put her on the floor of our closet with toys while we were getting ready in the morning, and as I was brushing my teeth I looked over to see her crawling out of the closet and into the bathroom! Later that day, at Crossfit, she practiced crawling with her friends, Lincoln and Campbell, who I heard were cheering her on as she crossed the floor. The first opportunity I had to capture a video of this new skill was this morning, which was a pretty short session since she encountered some distractions and obstacles, but you get the idea from the video below. (Note who she calls for when she needs help. Nice.)
On Wednesday she ate through three strawberries. But she was still hungry. Oh wait, no, that was the very hungry caterpillar. Wrong character.
Way to go Harper! We are excited for all your new skills!
