Our active little munchkin...

Harper has been so active now that she is walking everywhere. She LOVES the park and we go there everyday. Her favorite is the swings, BUT every time we get off it's a tantrum because she loves the swing and NEVER wants to get off. 😁

We also tried a toddlers in tutus class and she did so well. She loves watching others and mimicking them. But unfortunately the classes are Wednesdays at 4:30 and I have a faculty meeting every Wednesday until 4:30. So I looked into another class and found a class called big muscle builders . How perfect, because she has low muscle tone! So we tried the class this past Saturday and she thoroughly enjoyed it! We signed her up for every Saturday through the end of May. She marches, and goes over, under, through tunnels, and swings on poles. Its similar to The Little Gym, but I think a lot better.

Another AMAZING thing I think EVERY mother should know is to make your child a smoothie!!!! When we were in Riviera Maya over the Christmas break, my aunt and mother in law had to watch Harper because she got sick the day before we left. Which by the way was a very difficult decision to make but it was what was meant to be and best for all of us. While she was staying with her auntie Lynne she had made her a smoothie each day. In the smoothie she put in spinach, about 4 oz of no sugar apple juice, 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce, one to toddler yogurt, and fruit. Harper loved them. So of course when I came home from our trip, (which was much needed for me and my hubby) we went out and bought the blend tec blender to make her these smoothies. From that day on we have been making her smoothies and now I add Kale, carrots, liquid multivitamin, and DHA omegas. I suggest to all moms to make these. Every day Harper looks forward to her smoothies and since then (knock on wood, she hasn't been sick.)

I'll post some pics soon of Harper in her Toddlers in Tutus class and in her big muscle builders class. I'll also post some of our Christmas Riviera Mayan vacay.

The only update we have for now is her next neurologist appointment in April 4th.

Xoxo,
Amber
