Ollipop and Harpsicle updates

This post will be short and sweet.  I just want to do a round-up of some of our latest photos and document what the girlies are up to.

Youngest first, Harper   aka: Harper Barper, Harper E, Harper Boo, and the latest our Harp-sicle

•  gobbling up her rice cereal
• has tried bananas, sweet potatoes, and pears
• prefers her cereal over anything else, makes terrible faces for the rest of it
• obsessed with her feet and sticking her toes in her mouth
• has been pooping like crazy!!  (sorry, its happening) She used to sleep through the night, now has been waking at least twice each night with stinky diaper.  
• has been fighting her naps in her crib, but will sleep soundly if we take a car ride or a walk in the stroller
• LOVES our Lola bean, and of course her big sissie!  Wants to have an eye on them at all times.
• talks all day long, B sounds are still her favorite and blows lots of raspberries
• loves to jump in her jumparoo
• drooling crazy time and chomps on her Sophie the Giraffe quite intensely

now on to ....

• Our favorite 4 year old has more energy than ever!
• She is obsessed lately with all things Star Wars (although we won't let her watch the movies yet, she enjoys the picture books we have found from the library)
• Loves pretend play, everything we do has a huge set up and elaborate story behind it
• She is reading sight words and beginning to sound out some words. 
• She is very good at cutting, loves to use her scissors and can cut out complex shapes (like a star or a heart)
• still loves puzzles, blows my mind how focused she gets!  She can do her U.S. map puzzle or a 50 piece jigsaw puzzle independently!!!  
• Loves jokes (we don't always get the punch line right, but she loves making up her own) 
• Dances constantly, makes up songs about everything (she may have gotten this from Mom) but hey, our motto is "There ain't no party like a Koepke party, cause a Koepke party don't stop" so we must dance, right?
• RIDES HER TWO WHEEL BIKE!! yipee!!  Last year Olivia couldn't reach the pedals on her trike, so never really got to ride a bike at all.  This spring we gave her a two wheeler, she is doing fantastic!!  A few spills, but she got up and brushed herself off and got right back on.  I am so proud of her! 
• so outgoing, we go the park every chance we get, and she will always walk up to any child there and ask "do you want to be my friend?"  It cracks me up, and then she will run and tell me, " MOM! THIS IS MY NEW FRIEND!"   

I could go on and on, this girl is so busy and into so much!!  

I love my little chickies!!  xoxo
