9 months!











Not really much going on around here :) Harrison is doing great as usual! We went to the doctor today and they said that his head is making "drastic improvements", he even said "Wow", when he did his measurements! I'm so happy he's doing so well, I'm hoping that we can get that helmet off soon, he was sweating in it this past weekend, and I can't imagine what it will be like in July or August.
A few weekends ago, Kenney, Harrison, Kenney's mom and husband and I went to the IMA to the Lilly Gardens to walk around, it was beautiful! We took lots of pictures of course! I can't wait to get our "family portrait" done this weekend, we are doing it ourselves at Eagle Creek, and I'm sure they will turn out great. How can they not? Harrison is super adorable :) Also a few weeks ago we went over to my best friend Cori's house to visit. She had her son almost a month to the day after Harrison was born, so it's pretty awesome that I get to go through the same things with my best friend, hopefully Joey and Harrison will be as close as Cori and I are now :)
This past Sunday it was Mutt Strut! We had a blast and brought Gladys along with us, it was very fun, but very hot. Harrison was helmet free and loving it, and loving all the dogs that he saw. I think he thinks they are big stuffed animals because he's always laughing at them! On the track, he lasted until turn 2, and he was knocked out the rest of the way...guess we can say goodbye to that racing career!
Harrison turned 9 months this past weekend, I can't believe it! I got him a toy, of course, I seem to be getting into the habit of buying him a toy every month on the 25th :) I can't help it! He deserves it!

Here are some things that Harrison is doing:
  • Army crawling still, but also gets on all 4's and starts rocking

  • "Talking" a lot!

  • He's into everything! We baby proofed the house this past weekend.

  • Is "dancing", he shakes his legs, flaps his arms and shakes his head, adorable!

  • Gives hugs! Whenever he's tired, he puts his little arms around my neck and snuggles.

  • Loves cell phones and remote controls!

  • Plays on the laptop like he's typing :)

I think that's about it! Everyday it's something new with him, I love every minute and I'm trying to not take anything for granted because I know it goes by so fast.

Hope everyone is well!

Harrison's first Easter!







Harrison had a great first Easter! He got so much stuff! He got some bubbles, toys, and a stuffed dog with bunny ears on it :) Too cute! It was such a great day, the only thing that sucked was having to rush around everywhere so everyone could see Harrison. We went to Kenney's mom's house, then to my mom's house, then Kenney had to go to the airport because he went on a backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon for the week, so he was rushing around getting everything together. But it was really good, nonetheless. Here are some pictures with his Easter baskets..the crocheted one was Kenney's when he was a baby, how sweet! Also, attached is a video of him laughing :)

Harrison and the ipod :)















Hello everyone! Not too much to report over here :) Harrison is doing great, he's dragging himself around now, it's hilarious. Here is a video of him going after my ipod, he loves it! Really, he loves anything that lights up, ipod, iphone, remote control. I guess that means that he's going to be a "techy" like his dad and papi :) His head is doing really well too! I wish that I would have taken a before and after picture of his head because it's almost all the way round now, when before it was really slanted. He's never had a problem adjusting to the helmet, it's just been me, adjusting to people's looks at him, which still irritates me. I will probably never get over it, I just hate it. Oh well.
A few weekends ago, we bought a new car, a 2009 Ford Escape, it's super sweet. It's hilarious, because it's the car that, whoever has Harrison, gets to drive. So, my 2000 Hyundai Accent is the daily driver for me to work, and for Kenney. So, this car will probably not get too many miles on it :) Also, another funny thing is that my parents got the exact same car! Same color and everything! They went and looked at them, and it was the only color that they had, so now when we go over to mom's, there are 2 identical SUVs in the driveway. Hilarity.
Umm, let's see, last weekend, Kenney's grandma and aunt came down from Michigan to meet Harrison, which was fun. I think they really enjoyed seeing him. I mean, who couldn't! Now on to this weekend, we are going to Kenney's mom's house to take some Easter pictures and decorate eggs on Saturday, then on Sunday, it's Easter morning with them, and Easter dinner with my parents, then Kenney is off to the Grand Canyon to hike down and camp. I'm nervous that he's going, but the guys he's going with have done this a few times, so at least they know what they are doing. :) I'll post pictures of Harrison's easter pictures next week, in the meantime, enjoy the most recent ones here!
