BOO!

It's Harrison's first Halloween!!

We have been trying to get in the holiday spirit by reading 'Five Little Pumpkins', lighting the jack-o-lanterns around the house, dressing like a dinosaur, trying to go to the pumpkin patch three weekends in a row (only to be rained out)....and finally the big night arrived!!!! Despite a little bout of stomach trouble yesterday Harrison was able to rally to make it to the main event!!!

rroarrr!
































The neighbors had a little get together before heading out to trick or treat!!! We stayed for the party and then went home and off to bed:)

Nite nite!

9 months and counting....


Harrison went for his 9 month appointment yesterday. He only had to have his flu shot, which was good, but it still resulted in a few tears! He was a trooper though and still managed to share a few smiles with our friends in my office. The pediatrician's office and my office are in the same building so we always stop by to say 'hi' before or after appointments.

Here are the stats -

wieght - 20lbs 7oz (50th% a slight jump since his last visit)
height - 29 in (75th% and running steady)

Harrison has officially entered into the period of stranger anxiety. He managed to tolerate the doctor mostly because he was occupied trying to push the otoscope away. But the new teachers at daycare are really testing his patience. Apparently as soon as someone new walks in the room he starts screaming and when they leave all is quiet. There are two new teachers in his room and he is slowly warming up to them....but still he only wants to eat and have his diaper changed by his favorites - in order of preference - Olivia, Debbie, and Margaret. While the stranger anxiety is a passing phase it is still clear that Harrison is definitely starting to develop his own unique personality. He is such a cutie!!

Harrison the 'dare devil'

This is Harrison's new favorite past time. No matter what is going on or what time of day - this is guaranteed to make him smile:) He is watching Murphy and laughing in this one.

Oh, and one other smile guarantee - watching us throw the ball to Murphy and then seeing him bring it back. So swinging and watching Murphy get the ball is about as good as it gets!
