Harrison's 1st snow

January 2011, we celebrated our first snow day with Harrison!

Not quite enough for a snowman yet, but maybe next time we can try a snowball or two. It doesn't happen often in Texas but we'll take what we can get!

5 months already...

Right now I'm watching our little Harrison bounce and giggle in his jumper and I can't believe it's been 5 months already! We have been the worst bloggers for a while, but we have a great excuse. It's been amazing to watch him grow and change right before our eyes. His personality is developing and we're truly starting to see who he's meant to be. Since we have been slackers, let me fill you all in on a few milestones...

At around 2-3 months he began really laughing and smiling at all our silly faces. At 3 months he was looking around at his surroundings with much more interest and began drooling like a king, a.k.a. Droolicus Maximus! At 4 months he started bouncing in his jumper but it wasn't until now that he began to go bananas in it. Now that he's 5 months old he's really started to giggle out loud, he turns towards sounds, he's eating his first foods (he loves apples but the verdict is still out on bananas) and can sit in his bumbo like a pro. He's trying to roll over but finds his best mode of transportation is scooching himself around by arching his back and pushing out with his feet. He sleeps through the night now but every once in a while wakes up just needing his pacifier. His hair is finally coming in on top but we're still not sure what color it will be, although our entire family thinks the answer is red like Daddy's.

He celebrated his first Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. We were able to spend a lot of time with family so everyone could spoil him rotten already. He's been enjoying all of his gifts and we're trying to get him into all the cute clothes before he grows out of them. At our last appointment he was 15 1/2 pounds and had a few shots, which he wasn't so pleased about.

All in all, he's a very happy baby. He wakes up every morning with a big smile on his face. He never fusses or cries when we give him a bath, change his clothes or his diaper. He loves to giggle at you and play peek-a-boo. Truly the only area of his life that he fights and fusses about is naptime.

We look forward to every day we get to spend with him; we are truly blessed!

Love,

Steph
