I am so glad to finally start a new place for all our friends and family to come and hear what's going on in the Harper family! I have had so many people tell me that they want to know what Noah is up to and how he is, and of course they want more pictures.....so here they are!

Our little munchkin is 18 months old already....he weighs in at a whopping 22 pounds and is about is 27 inches long! He has been doing so great! He has started saying a few words that he knows what they mean, like mama (which he says whenever I leave the room) He says Ba for his bottle, and he also does a lot of cute babbling! He is sitting completely on his own, although we are working on getting into and out of sitting.....he stands against thing like the couch and plays with toys....we aren't sure if he will crawl do to his little nemo hand (his cerebral palsy) but we went to a orthopedic surgeon and had a consultation with her, and she said that she has no doubt in her mind that Noah will walk!!!! Praise the Lord!!! We are so excited to know that he will be running around one day and not confined to a wheel chair! It will still be a while of course, but we are excited for "one day"!

This is Noah on Halloween out little Lion...we took him to a party that was thrown for all the kids in early intervention.....and he was not happy. He was too little to do much there, except one game where he sat in a little swimming pool of dried beans and fished around for little toys....at first he did great and liked the feeling of the beans in his hands, but as soon as one of the other little kids started to cry he got all upset and wanted out of there right away! He isn't very good around other kids he gets overwhelmed easily, but we are starting pre-pre school on Feb. 18. It is called kindermusik and it's a group of about 12 kids all with disabilities ages 18 months - 3 years and they get together and play little instruments and take turns with toys and just learn how to interact with each other . I am really excited to get him around other little ones, so he can learn to get along with them.

I hope you like the new pictures I will be updating much more freequently now that we finally got a working computer!
