Lot's of Firsts!

First ride on a CTA bus.

Bynx was distraught that we were gone for more than 7 days... she decided to hide in the Bugaboo bag, so she would make the next trip!



First piece of pie :)


First pie menu.




Waiting for our flight home.

First salad.

I have strong legs and love to stand now.

Harper got to enjoy many late night talks in Speculator... okay, not so "late" by most people's standards, just Peter's.

Finally, Peter decided to hold Harper.

Peter was a little apprehensive about holding Harper for the first few days.

I'm an animal :)

The Kings got Harper her first pair of Uggs... so precious!

Steve King with Harper.

Mountain air left her plenty tuckered out.

Gorgeous Speculator morning from Marilyn and Peter's porch.

Harper's first bat (mine too)... Marcus thought it was entertaining to watch Marilyn and Peter try to catch it (I was hiding in the bedroom with Harper).

Barb King had a technique that knocked Harper out every time she held her.

Harper's first trip to Melody Lodge for lunch (first of many).

Harper decided it was too cold for her first water skiing lesson.

Aunt Marilyn enjoyed Harper when she was in a good mood.

Believe it or not, she is asleep her (she sleeps like Mommy... eyes and mouth open).

Harper and Marcus were enjoying one of the few sunny days we saw.

I'm shrinking!

Harper's first museum... the Adirondack museum.

Harper's first time meeting Aunt Marilyn.

Daddy and Harper on the airplane.

Me in the airport with Harper... so many people stopped me and said "that is the way to travel."

The fair took it out her!

Harper wanted to see her first chicken.

Harper's first fair - Fairbury.

Harper's first trip to Fogerty's. Tim wouldn't hold her.

Not her first smile, but certainly a good one!

Daddy even admitted that she looked better in her Cubs outfit.

Finally, she is big enough to wear her Wolfpack gear (breaking out the Illini clothes for the game next weekend)

Aunt Mary's favorite little Cubby Bear.
