Harper goes mobile

It was only a matter of time before Harper got her wheels.



At long last, Ida Jane's reign of bipedal dominance is at an end. Now the fun really begins!



It's been a very busy couple of weeks here, as usual. In a move inspired by a since-passed spate of warm weather, (and Harper's birthday take, thank you everyone!) Dad went off to Toys 'R Us and got a new play house. It's a hit.



This thing even has a phone!



Some of our other fun activities have included gardening. In news that will surprise no one, Ida Jane loved getting her hands dirty.



We also visited a great kid's museum in Baltimore. This is one of the few times someone was able to take a picture - Ida Jane up on a "horse" learning to be a cowgirl.



Even though the weather has been pretty lousy, Ida Jane still enjoys her rain coat.



But you can only play in the rain so much, so we also got a crazy play tunnel. As an introduction to this video, I'll warn you that Ida calls Harper "little whale." We're not sure where these nicknames come from, but one of the cutest things lately is Ida Jane's million different pet names for Harper. Little Whale is, admittedly, probably the least flattering, but still cute.



Today, although it was on the cold side, we did have the opportunity to take a few quick Easter shots.



And we went next door to Fia's house for a great egg hunt.



Fun!



After all that, the best thing to do is to have a good bath.





Put on matching pajamas, and then it's off to bed.



Goodnight!
