We're home after a great trip!

We're back!  Our last few days were spent in Lihue and there was a gigantic pool at the resort.  Harper really loved toswim and was kicking her feet, laughing and enjoying the water.  She also got to play at Poipu beach and saw a monk seal swim up to play on the beach.  We are missing the humidity and warm weather already.  Everything in CO is so BROWN... no green to speak of.But spring isn't too far away, so we'll survive!  Harper was a perfect angel on the plane (really!).  Not a peep out of her.  The airline attendants and fellow passengers were very complimentary and appreciative.  She really is a good baby!
It seems as if she is doing something new every day.  She is grabbing and holding things & her awareness of her surroundings is increasing daily.  Today, we gave her a little bit of rice cereal for the first time.  I can't say she loved it, but she did eat a little.  I'm not sure if we're
 quite ready to get into that yet, but we wanted to give it a shot.  She may need a little more time.  We also noticed her first tooth is just starting to pop through on the top.  That may be why she hasn't been napping as much?  She's also eating a ton.  Who knows... she is no longer the rock-star napper she once was.  30-45 minutes is all she's willing to give me these days.  It's wearing... I feel like I spend 1/2 the day trying to get her to sleep.  She wakes up SO tired instead of nice and refreshed.  We're working on it, but just have to let her figure out her schedule I guess!  
So, we're homebound for a while.  Looking forward to heading back to MA for Jeremy & Lindsey's wedding in June... but other than that, no trips in the near future.  We
 think Harper has the travel bug--or at least we hope she does!
