Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Things in the Lastick household are going great! We just got back from a trip to S. Lake Tahoe and Wine Country California. We all flew in together last Wednesday (Harper was an angel on the plane!) and then Harper spent Fri-Sun with Auntie Alice, Uncle David, Forrest (5) & Spencer (3). She. Had. A. Blast! Tom and I ventured up to Sonoma for a beautiful wedding at a vineyard and had a relaxing weekend with friends while Harper played with her cousins in Tahoe. We all flew back to Denver on Monday and again, Harper was wonderful on the plane.

She is talking up a storm, putting 2, 3 & 4 words together. She can pretty much relay her needs verbally all of the time now. The trouble beings when the answer to her request is "no". Then, she turns into a 2 year old. Most

of the time she is fun, energetic and on the move! She LOVES water--we hit our neighborhood "beach" at the lake almost every day. She loves to have Mommy catch tadpoles for her and squeals with glee when they squirm in her hand. I am already teaching her to let them go quickly and not to catch the same one twice. Harper spends Tuesdays & Thursdays at daycare with Jackie and her two boys Brody & Wyatt and another little girl Ava. She is in love with all of them and talks about them constantly. Silas is still with us on Wednesdays. On the other days, we spend almost all day outdoors and going on adventures to the beach, pool, hiking trails, Zoo, etc. Harper is so content when she is outside!

We finally broke down and bought a used pop-up camper! I think Harper will love sleeping outside in her camper bed... hiking, exploring & just being with Mommy & Daddy. She is so fun, and we are enjoying every second we have all together. Camping will make us get out and have fun instead of sticking around to do house projects...

Harper has been singing a lot lately. As soon as we get in the car she says, "Singing. Beep beep bus." so we sing the wheels on the bus... over and over. (: Sometimes she'll sing but we can't really understand the words, but it sounds so sweet!

She still sleeps great! Mostly 7:30p-7:30a with a 1 1/2-2 hour nap in the afternoon. We're having so much fun at night, we don't want to put her to bed. We have dinner & go for a walk in the wagon while Harper has her after dinner treat--yogurt & fruit pop, watermelon or ice cream. This is a favorite part of the day for all of us, especially the dogs.

Here is a video of Harper singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star from her book, and then singing about other random (undecipherable) things. Enjoy & thanks for reading!
