The Terrific Twos

Last Friday Harper turned two. I cannot believe two years has gone by since I brought this little lady home from the hospital.
Having a two year old is so awesome. She is funny, smart, cute, and makes me laugh every singles day. Her second birthday has been really hard for me. When she turned 1 I was like "cool, she's not a baby anymore." Turning two means she's really not a baby anymore. I love this age so much.

For her birthday, we woke up and opened presents. We got her a Happy Birthday Thomas the train, some Thomas the Train wall clings (she's obsessed with these things), and a Dora puzzle book. She LOVED opening presents.
Then, she and I actually got to hang out because I had a personal day from work to attend a funeral. So we made brownies to take to her friends at daycare and had lunch with Auntie Em who was in town for the funeral as well. My sister picked her up from daycare and she spent the night with my parents. They had a little party for her where she got ice cream, some new toys and an adorable new outfit.

This weekend is her party. I have been crafting some things which I will share, but I think the best part is going to be the bounce house. She loves to jump so I know this will be a hit.

Here are some of my favorite picks of my lovely little pumpkin head.

First running injury

I put in 7 miles today which is the furthest I've ever gone. I felt pretty good. It was raining, so I did it at the gym which was totally boring, but it was a good mental game to push through. I suffered my first injury. Apparently I cut a toe with the toenail of another toe because I took my gym shoes off to find a bloody sock underneath. Made me feel like a reel runner. Only three weeks til the race!
