So sweet! What a nugget

SOOOOOOO CUTE! I honestly can not get over how perfect your little family is.

How FUN to see videos of your precious babe! LOVE her dancing! My little girl started giving me kisses around 8 months, it is a full on open mouth sloppy wet kiss and she will do it over and over and over all over my face! She still doesn't give daddy kisses though (prob bc of his face prickers.) I also taught her how to blow kisses, which is adorable. Harper will get it! We failed the "Can your child wave goodbye, Can your child play peek-a-boo" milestones at the 9 month dr visit but who really cares, right?!? Thanks for sharing the videos!!!

aww..she's so cute! the first time my nephew actually grabbed my checks and gave me a kiss was night before his first birthday. it was so amazing & special! i'll never forget that. before that tho he acted the same way harper does.

Colson used to LOVE kisses- used to be the only thing that made him laugh! But now he whips his head away whenever we go in for one :( Love the cute videos of Harper girl!!

SO CUTE. Emmalyne has been giving me kisses since she was 10 months old. Huge, wet, slobbery kisses. She'll grab my face and hold it to her lips going "ahhhh" haha.

I started getting "kisses" around 7months. She'll stick her open mouth on my cheek and just hold it there then pull away and smile, it's adorable. I will say "Mommy give Ashlynn kiss" and kiss her cheek and then ask "Ashlynn given mommy kiss?" and sorta shove my cheek towards her lips... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So far she'll only do it to me, but my husband has scruff, so maybe its too scratchy for her lips.

Love the vids! A is obsessed with hoodie zippers too, I'l have to remember that trick ;)

I have 4 kids, some of them would kiss by 7-9 months, my youngest didn't kiss until 14mos.. I would say before 18mos would be normal

SO sweeeeeeet! Awe, she's such a doll! Don't you just love technology that lets you capture all these adorable moments?! I may need another phone just to store all the vidoes I take of my little girl. Harper dancing is too cute, like I really don't wanna dance but I just can't resist that elephant! hahaha.

The dancing one CRACKS me up!! She just can't help herself but do a little jig! And Ethan is always giving me big sloppy open mouth "kisses" but I think it's more of a "I'm trying to feel you with my mouth" than a kiss. Can't wait for more intention on that one! ;)

THOSE ARE THE CUTEST VIDEOS EVER! Ohh my goodness!!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face and making my day :)

My son is 8 months and gives big open mouth kisses, but he's very stingy and only gives them to mommy lol

SO cute! Love love love your blog!! You should write a book about motherhood!

She is sooooo freakin cute!!!

My kids started giving kisses at all different ages. 7 months, 9 months, over a year. Our 18 month old has been doing it for about two months now. It's just to cute!

omg, she's absolutely precious!! my daughter is 2 and a half now, and FOREVER she would kiss us with her mouth open (which was precious, but i wanted a smooch!) & one day i think she just realized she was kissing us different than we kissed her lol. she would jus sit there with her mouth open & wait until you came up and kissed her lol. don't worry, she'll get there. the biggest thing i've learned since becoming a mommy is not to compare, because aurora is advanced in so many things, but then there's things that other kids (kids who - and yes, i was wrong for doing this but i think every parent does this! - i thought she was more advanced than) could do before her. just enjoy every bit of her & film, film, film because they grow up soooo fast! your videos make me miss my lil baby aurora lol. you, your hubby, & baby remind me of my fiancé & i with our daughter! if you didn't live in another state, i'd invite you guys over for dinner, lol. keep blogging!

my daughter is 9 months and she has been kissing now for almost a month. I literally just kept showing her mommy's eyes, mommy's nose, mommy's mouth and after mouth i would say kiss and smack my lips. Then one day she leaned in and opened her mouth for kisses! I just kept that up for the longest time! Good luck it's the best to get kisses from your little one! :)

Those videos are adorable!! I love her awesome dance moves!! My son is 14 months and I can't remember when he first started kisses...I think around Harpers age. But he still refuses sometimes. Keep on smoochn' her!! :)

We kiss each other with a loud smooch then after staring a while, the baby will start puckering up! It's hilarious!!

Adorable videos! Both of my twin girls started giving kisses around 6 months (just turned 11 months today!) but now it's rare to get a nice, sloppy, open-mouthed kiss. They have started to turn away now and only give it up if they are feeling really affectionate.

Kisses at 10 months old from our little girl

OH SWEET ANGEL!

she's even cuter on videos!! oh my gosh so precious!

I'm just dying over the dancing... That is seriously the cutest little bobbing I've ever seen! So, to answer your question, all tree of my babies were giving kisses at 6-8 months. My third and youngest (10 months) was giving kisses, waving/saying hi and bye by 7 months BUT she won't dance like Harper does! She will shake her hands and clap to music but she doesn't actually move her body. Every baby is different and you'll even notice that your future babies will have totally different milestones! My first was running by 10 months, middle baby by 14 months, and my youngest is just standing at 10 months... They're all different! :)

These videos are the best! So precious! My baby boy was fascinated by little Harper! Thank you so much for blogging. I can't tell you how much I really look forward to each new post!

For the longest time my oldest would give you her forehead when you asked her for a kiss. She is now 18 months and is slowly starting to give kisses.

My oldest daughter would give me open mouth slobbery kisses around 8-9 months, then every time you asked for a kiss she would only give you her forehead. Now she is 18 months and is slowly starting to give kisses.

Love those cute videos! Must just be part of her own silly personality because my 9 month old has been kissing us for around a month or so. We just say "Give mommy a kiss" Or "Give daddy a kiss" and 90% of the time he will, other times he turns his head and laughs. He even kisses people in magazines and books! I love it! She will in her own time, she just sounds stubborn. She's adorable!

She is adorable! Maybe start giving exaggerated kisses to her baby dolls or toys. Then, she may start and want kisses from you too! :) Happy Smooching!

Awe, those videos are so adorable! I think my son started giving "kisses" around 9-10 months old and now (just turned 1yr old) he gives them when I ask and sometimes all on his own, it is the sweetest thing. I hope she starts gving those sweet kisses soon:)

ahhh i love the videos especially the one with Harper doing some dance moves...too cute!! Our little one gave me her first little kisses on Christmas eve(with spaghetti sauce all over her too) and that was around 9 months. She only does it to a few people or she forgets lol. Harper will get there!!

She couldn't be any cuter! What a sweet heart! Beckett is almost 8 months and the only person he'll kiss is himself in the mirror LOL

My son was about a year and a half old before he would give kisses... but now he wants to give them all the time... and right on the lips!

Love love love the videos! Now that you've shown me one, you better keep them coming! :)

Those videos are just about the cutest thing I've ever seen! Congratulations on the first steps! It was more like a run to that zipper!

So sweet! She reminds me so much of my 11 month old. My daughter started taking steps at 10 months and giving kisses around 8 months. Everytime she does it we say "awww sweet baby" so if I saw give the baby a kiss she will give her baby a kiss and we say aww sweet baby. We do the same things with hugs

Aw! She reminds me so much of my 11 month old. We says awww sweet baby after she kisses us or her baby dolls

UGH B also hates the smooches. I went to give her one in public and was mortified when she left me high and dry with my lips all puckered up. What a jerk. ;)

My son starting kissing when he was 7 months but it is always on his terms. If you ask for it, he'll just turn his head away. But when he's happy, he will cover you with kisses. He even kisses the phone when he hears someone he knows on the other end. It's still the open mouthed slobbery kisses. We'll see how long it takes him to realize his mouth should be closed! Every baby's different so I'm sure Harper will deliver those kisses when she's ready to dole out some serious mama love :)

Your daughter is absolutely adorable!!! My daughter has been giving kisses since around 9 months, but she's nowhere near standing on her own yet.

My daughter Kamryn is 10 months old & she has been giving kisses for over a month now. My husband and I constantly had to say "Kisses!" and smooch her. She eventually got the hang of it, but baby kisses are open mouth but so cute! She even says mwah when she does it now!

Thanks for sharing, these are SO cute! Her little laugh is absolutely adorable!

She's getting so big! It's awesome to see her grow and she always looks so happy. Thank you for sharing the videos!
As for the kissing...Well my son started at around 6 months. I would say "Kiss, kiss, kiss!" and make a kiss sound and give him a kiss. He soon started to give me a kiss instead. Sometimes he doesn't want kisses and sometimes he won't give them. Which is ok. I respect that it is his body to give and receive kisses as he wants. Also, he will only kiss me. =) No one else. lol. It's a nice big, open mouthed kiss that usually ends up all over my cheek, chin, or covering my whole mouth. Slobbery. MMM. <3 me some baby kisses.
I think if you make it more of a fun game, than a forced action then it comes.

So cute! Collins is 9 1/2 months and will has been givin kisses for about 2-3 weeks

My little girl is just a couple days younger than Harper and for the longest time I always told her I was giving her kisses and then lay 'em on her. She hasn't seemed to mind and I think she has the hang of it because some days (when she is in the mood, of course), she'll actually turn towards me and give me a kiss when I ask for it. It's a full on, open mouth slobberfest, but I still love it! Just keep talking to her/letting her know what you're doing and she'll get the hang of it soon! :)

Parker have kisses around 9 - 10 months I think. I started by holding stuffed animals in front of him and saying "give it a kiss!" And then I would make the stuffed animal give him a "kiss." Eventually he figured out the game and when I would tell him to give it a kiss he would lean in. A little while later he would do the same to people. They are always open mouth a sloppy but that's ok. He also hardly gives unsolicited kisses we usually always have to ask. And cute videos!!!!

My little man didn't start making the pucker face & actually giving us kisses till a few months ago & he's almost two.. but he does pucker his lips & give us kisses. Cutest thing & I have also waited forever for him to do so!

My daughter is 17 months old and she has been kissing for 2-3 months now. She will make the mmmmm noise and come in and plant a kiss right on your lips. Although, my friend's baby was giving kisses before she was a year old. I guess it varies from baby to babyb. Just keep asking for kisses and one day she'll get it. Or even if she sees you kiss your husband, she might try to do the same. I think that's how we got our little one to give little smooches. Good luck, keep us posted!

My son started giving me kisses at 7 months, he ONLY kisses me, not my husband and not anyone else. It is the cutest thing. I grabs my face and sometimes hair, pulls my face really close to his and then opens his mouth so wide... it is so funny!! She will start soon I am sure! She is so cute!!!!

Holy cuteness overload! I can't get our daughter to dance quite yet, but the kisses (open mouth and slobbery) started around 8 months. She now gives daddy about 30 kisses from the time he gets home from work until bed. I get a few kisses throughout the day but we worked on giving her tons of kisses and saying "kisses!" While we did it so she would know the word.

My little one is giving "selective" kisses now, at 6-1/2 months. He knows what "give mama kisses" means but he chooses when he actually gives in. When he does cave, they are full open-mouth slobbery kisses - THE BEST!!

Our Harper started giving kisses (open-mouthed slobbery) around 6 months... and still contiues to do so. Although, she is quite selective to whom she will give kisses or blow kisses to these days. Ms. Independent!

I have 4 kids and all 3 of my boys kissed around 7 months. Ramsey on the other hand (my youngest and only girl) took forever. I think around 16 months maybe and even then it was like pulling teeth. She would if I asked for one from her brothers after being rejected by her though. I also would act sad when she turned me down which sometimes worked (bad parenting I know but what's a momma to do). Take heart though, she is three now and can't stop giving kisses to anyone......hmmmm, maybe I should be worried!!!

My husband was actually the one that got our little Adaline to give kisses. He started it kind of as a game and would hold her facing him and would say "kisses!" and pull her in and kiss her lips then would make a loud "MMUUUAAAAHHHHH!" sound that'd make her laugh so she liked it, then I would sit by them and he'd turn to me and say "kisses!" and we'd kiss and it kind of made her want more kisses for herself and so after a week or so she'd start leaning in herself for kisses and the game part of it has since faded and she just gives kisses when you ask for them. They're the sweetest cutest kisses so I hope Harper will catch on soon! I love reading your blog and all your home and baby ideas, especially since my little one is only about a month younger than Harper so its fun to see the similarities and differences between them.

you are such an amazing momma! harper is so blessed to have such great parents!! you are truly my role model and i hope to be half the mother and wife you are some day! keep up the great work! i love love loveeee your blog! :)
