“my brain is freezing”

Posted on | May 10, 2011 | 65 Comments

first order of business – can we discuss for a second how perfect this photo is? i’m vowing to try and see everything little thing through Harper’s eyes and can only hope to feel this kind of pure joy over such things as a bowl of gelato being placed in front of me.

last night we went out for some pizza, beers and obvs, gelato with my mom. after a rough morning it was exactly what i needed (side note: people who mess with peoples paypal or bank accounts should be kicked straight in the tenders). Harper had a big bite of ice cream and got a brain freeze. her reaction was so cute that she kept doing it because we reacted – so of course each bite was followed by her “brain freezing” faces even if her brain was not in fact freezing.

good gravy, i love this kid.

    to say she is a ham would be a complete understatement. You have quite the little entertainer on your hands!

    Brain Freeze is congruent or equal to cute. (How come computers don’t have the congruent or equal to sign we learn in 8th grade math?)
