Harper Yeats, a 5-month-old baby girl, is being considered by the Guinness World Records Organization for the record of becoming the youngest person to circumnavigate the United States.
Starting her journey when she was only 8 weeks old in June, baby Harper is still traveling with her parents around the US states. Recently, she arrived in Toledo, Ohio, the 49th state in her journey. It is expected that, on October 18, she will be in the 50th state when stopping in Vermont.
Harper’s parents are Cindy Lim and Tristan Yeats, who are living in Canada. On the occasion of her mother, Cindy Lim is on maternity leave, the whole family decided to travel to the US together. It is known that before baby Harper was born, the couple had been to 19 US states and planned to go to all the remaining states.
Starting from June 17, they decided to hit the road. According to the couple’s research, the baby holds the record for the youngest person to cross 50 states at the age of 3. Therefore, if Harper accomplishes this goal, she will officially hold a new record.
“Actually, we want the whole family to have time to travel together , not because of the other record. If Harper has health problems, the whole family will leave. But luck so far. , everything is fine,” the girl’s mother said.
At the stop in each state, baby Harper was allowed to stand in front of a signboard and record video by her parents. The girl’s photo was posted on her personal Instagram page, attracting thousands of followers and comments. The Canadian couple said they hope the photos and videos will save many memorable moments in her life.
“I hope that, when Harper grows up and looks at the pictures later, she can confidently do whatever she wants,” her mother shared.
After the journey to conquer 50 states, baby Harper will return with her parents to her hometown in Toronto, Canada. However, the journey is not over yet. Maybe, the baby and parents will fly back to their original hometown in Canberra, Australia.
