April Fun

We have had a lot of fun enjoying the nice weather this month.  So much to do in this town!  Here are some pictures of the adventures we've had this month

At Art City Austin



We love all the fun things to do in Austin



At the Louisiana Swamp Thing and Crawfish Festival in Buda
Harps likes Daddy's hat :)

Silly girl!

It was a very HOT day!

She had to wear her shades in the sun



All you can eat crawfish!!!!! GIVE ME SOME!



Um, maybe not!

Dancing to some cajun music

She loves the beads. Can't wait to take her to the real deal......NEW ORLEANS!
Hopefully this summer :)

FOOD!!!

Okay, so our doc gave us the go ahead to start rice cereal when Harper turned 4 months.  We were excited to start with real food! We thought Harper would be too.  But, alas, she had no desire to eat "real" food.  This is what we've had to deal with for the past few months:

1st rice cereal attempt, 4 months

One month later, she's still grossed out.

Introducing peas!

Yuck!

Yea! Dinnertime is over :)

Oatmeal??? Really guys, this stuff tastes like cardboard!

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to get Harper on board with eating.  She didn't even like applesauce! What kid doesn't like applesauce?!?  So I was reading up on ways to get stubborn babies to eat, and one way was feeding them using your finger.  Another way is letting them be in charge of eating.  We tried both, and she actually doesn't turn away in disgust and start crying.  She doesn't eat a lot, but at least she's trying.  Let's hope this pickiness doesn't last!

Hmmm....your finger tastes good Momma!

Gimme some more of that yummy oatmeal!



We upgraded Harps to her new highchair



Give me that spoon!!

I like carrots! And I like to make a mess in my new highchair!

DISNEYLAND PART 2

For some reason, I wasn't able to upload all the pictures I wanted to on the first post.  So here goes part 2!




My favorite ride, the Storybook Ride



We're in a cup!

She didn't want to wear her hat :(

Harper just wanted to go back to the hotel and play!

And be silly with Grandma

My lucky charm on St. Paddy's Day!

Now, she wants her hat!



In the lobby of Paradise Pier Hotel




I've got my own little magician!



DISNEYLAND!!

On March 16th and 17th, we were able to go to Disneyland and California Adventure.  So glad Grandma Tita works there! That place is getting expensive! 

Harps enjoyed her first visit to Disneyland.  She was very happy to have spent the day with the three of us and Jason and Leyla!  She had a blast people watching--that's the best thing to do at D-land! 

And a BIG thanks to Grandma Loni and Grandpa Chris for allowing us to stay at the Paradise Pier Hotel that night! It made nap time, Downtown Disney, and California Adventure the next day possible.  We were able to go to D-land on Wednesday, rest up and spend the night there, then get up and go the next day to California Adventure. It was fabulous!

The Happiest Place on Earth!



Harps meeting my cousin Amos for the first time. Glad he was working that day :)





Who needs to wait 90 minutes for a meet and greet with the princesses
when I have my very own :)



Harper loves her Grandma Tita!





Uncle Jason, Harps, and I

 

We couldn't find Mickey, so Jesse and Woody had to do
