A Day in the Life: Second Edition

I got finished blow drying my hair this morning only to find Harlan asleep on the couch.  She fell asleep watching Gabba.



Harlan wearing her Kula Klips bow.  The ONLY bow that will stay on her head! I love them!!



Eating lunch.  Hudson is waiting for her to drop some of her food.  He does this at every meal.

Ready to go see Dylan (Har's best friend) and head to appleseeds in Flat Iron

It was chilly out today, but Harlan still loved being out in her stroller and going for a walk.

No train for us today.  We took a cab!  Eating a little snack before going to play.

At appleseeds.  I spelled her name but she immediately started taking the letters down.

Then she proceeded to get into the letter box and get all of the letters down from the entire board. 

Harlan and Dylan driving the taxi!  Take me to Central Park!!

She would go to each window in this thing and smush her face against it.  She then started to go up to the windows and give me a kiss through each of them.  She loves giving kisses.

One of her favorites.  All fake food. 

She would take each piece down and pretend to bite it and say "mmmmm" then throw it on the ground.  She's a character!

She helped me with my grocery shopping! ;)

She sat at this Lego table for fifteen minutes.  I had no idea she liked them that much.  Good thing my mom just told me she got her some for Christmas.

On our way home.  Another cab ride!  She was looking out the window waving at people in other cars and crossing the street.

Our walk home from Dylan's!  It was starting to get really cold out so I made sure she was bundled up. 

We are lucky to live near Dylan's Candy Bar because they have these great holiday window displays.  I try and take her by there everyday to see them.  She just loves them.

Got home and we started playing pretend again.  She fixed something in her kitchen and then pretended to taste it and said "mmmmm" She watched herself do it in the mirror and was very amused with herself.  I was amused too.  Amazing how much she can make me laugh.

Starting to wind down and watch Gabba with her Foofa doll.

Pups. 

Laying on my leg watching tv before dinner.

Brushing her teeth. She loves doing it.  She says "ch ch ch ch" when she wants to brush them. All because MacKay taught her a teeth brushing song that had  that sound in it.

Daddy's home and giving him one last home before bed time.

A Day in the Life: First Edition

Yesterday Harlan and I got up and out of the house early to spend the day in this perfect city with perfect weather.  I decided to chronicle our day with pictures and want to make this a weekly edition on my blog.  Here we go!

My mom got her this fur vest and she was too tiny to wear it.  It is still a little big, but I wanted her to wear it anyway. I was calling her Rachel Zoe all day long.  It took her a while to get used to having it on.  I loved it though. 

One of my favorite pics of the day. She was running up and down the hallway chasing the dogs with her baby stroller.

Off to eat lunch with my sister.  She fell asleep within minutes of being outside.  Notice she fell asleep with her snacks in hand.

Still sleeping.  She looks super cozy!

Finally at lunch and eat chicken fingers {shocker!} She just tried honey mustard for the first time in this picture.  That is why she has the weird face.

She loved the honey mustard so much that she kept dipping her french fries in there just to suck off the sauce. 

On our way back home drinking milk.  Looking stylish with her vest.

On our way to gym open play with baby doll in hand.  The thing is almost as big as she is!

Hanging from the trapeze bars.  My little monkey.

She loves to bounce and jump so you can only imagine how much time she spend on this thing!

She took claim over this bridge and would not let anyone else get on!  Only child syndrome already!

Jumping into the ball pit.  She could spend all day in this thing

One of her favorite things to do at open play is jump in this ball pit.

Tired little girl.

So tired from our long day. Resting on the couch watching "Yo Gabba Gabba."  Her favorite show.

I love this little girl with all of my heart.

Playing with my camera on my phone! 

Posing for the camera.  She liked to see herself in the screen while taking these.

I got The Elf on the Shelf book to start a new tradition for our family.  Harlan loved him.

Mid-way through the book we realized that the one and only rule for the elf is no touching.  She broke that rule right away!

Finishing The Elf on the Shelf.  We named him Ralf.  Harlan calls him "Ra Ra."  One last special moment before bedtime.
