Easter Weekend

Harrison had a busy 1st Easter weekend!  Get ready for pictures galore! 

It started off with going to Maggie's 5th birthday party on Saturday afternoon. Harrison enjoyed just hanging out and watching all the people. 

He also LOVED the bounce house!!  If he could have crawled and rolled around the whole thing he would have, but since there were so many other kiddies playing April and I kept him confined to one little corner.  He still had a blast! 

Needless to say, he was EXHAUSTED and crashed about 2 minutes after I put him in the carseat to go home, but he had alot of fun! 

After the party, we came home, got cleaned up, and went to dinner at Buzzard Billy's with Memaw and Pepaw.

This morning, the Easter Bunny left Harrison with a basket of goodies.  He wasn't too sure about it at first, but once I helped him pull the stuff out, he got excited! 

We went to church and lunch with Pawpaw, Nana, Aunt KK, Mawmaw, Aunt Carla, and Uncle Robby.  He did a great job in church and slept through lunch. 

After such a busy morning, we came home, played a little, and took a nap! 

Last, but not least, we had an egg hunt at Pawpaw, Nana, and Aunt KK's house!  Of course Harrison couldn't hunt the eggs like the big kids, but he enjoyed sitting in the grass and playing with them.

 
Happy Easter!!!

Easter Bunny

We took Harrison to see the Easter Bunny today.  He was a little unsure, but still did a great job!  It helped that I let him hold his socks.  Crazy sock man!  No, he wasn't wearing socks with the sandals.  We just keep a pair with us at all times these days since that seems to be his security "blanket" lately :)

Wordless Wednesday!

Bluebonnet Pics

Harrison and I ventured out to his Grandpa's (my dad) house today to take some pictures in the bluebonnets.  Other than being super curious about the bluebonnets, he did a really good job. 

He also enjoyed looking at the horses and riding on Grandpa's shoulders.  I can't wait to teach him to throw balls on the barn, walk barrels, and skip rocks in the tank just like his Auntie Em, Rachel, April, and I grew up doing! He's definitely going to love it out there when he gets older!

8 months

Harrison turned 8 months today!  According to our tape measure and scale, he is about 28 inches tall and 19.4lbs.  I actually think his height is closer to 30 inches, but he was too curious about the tape measure for me to get a good measurement. 

He is crawling all over the place, FAST!  He's not scared of the tile anymore, so we have the kitchen blocked off most of the time.  He goes straight for Dusty's food if he crawls in there.  He is also pulling up on EVERYTHING!!  Tables, couches, toys, entertainment center, bookcase...you name it, he pulls up on it!  He walks with the help of his push toys.  When he starts walking on his own (which I think will definitely be before his 1st birthday), we are going to have our hands FULL!  



Our house is pretty much a disaster area these days.  "Hurricane Harrison" (as my mom says) pulls out all his toys and books most days and then leaves the mess for Tim and I to clean up after he goes to bed :)  I look forward to him learning to pick up his toys! 

Playing and watching cartoons

Reading

Harrison started eating meats mixed with fruits and veggies a couple weeks ago.  So far he likes turkey and chicken.  He gets a new food every weekend, and he eats it several times during the week.  We can watch for possible allergies that way.  I think this is something I will keep up for a long time, not necessarily for the allergy reason, but to get him to try new things as he gets older. 

He has started giving kisses- open mouth and slobbery, but it's still super sweet.  Tim has been traveling for work lately, and I think Harrison really misses him.  On Fridays when I hear the garage open, I tell Harrison, "Daddy's home!" and he crawls as fast as he can to him smiling and squealing the whole way! 

Playing with Daddy

He's at such a fun age now!  Not that he hasn't always been fun, but his personality is really starting to show and he's becoming such an active little boy!  He is definitely ALL BOY, all the time!
