Catching Up

Life with a baby seems to be so much busier than it was before baby came along...imagine that, right?!?!?  I can't believe how fast most days seem to come and go.  It's not that taking care of Harrison is hard or anything, but by the end of the day when he's down for the night, I just don't feel like blogging, so that's the reason for my absence.

Anyway, since my last post, there's been a few events to note.

1. Harrison slept through the night for the first time on October 10th; one day after his 11 week "birthday."  He's slept through the night since then, and I'm praying he continues to do so.
2. Harrison moved into size 2 diapers on October 11th.  They're still a little big on him, but he was busting out of the size 1s, so it was time to move up.
3. Harrison met his great-grandmothers this past Saturday (10/16).  It was such a wonderful day for us as we were really excited to introduce him to Grandma Hull (Jeff's maternal grandma) and Grandma Holmes (Jeff's paternal grandma).  All of the rest of our grandparents are deceased, so this was a special day. 

Here are some pictures from Harrison's visit with the great-grandmothers:

Until next time...

10 Weeks

Harrison is now 10 weeks old and making new discoveries every day.  In the past week, he's discovered his hand (9/30) and started sucking his thumb/hand (first noticed by me on 10/1).  While I was out of town for three days last week, my mom was here babysitting, and she said he started trying to put his hand in is mouth then.

Another first for us this past week was Harrison's transition from bath time in the sink to bath time in his "big boy" bath tub.  He loves his bath time, and always smiles the biggest toothless grin when I run water over his head.

Harrison is such a joy in our lives, and people always say that once a baby is in your life, you wonder how you ever lived without them before...that's so true!!  I can't imagine life without him now!

Here are a few pictures of the little guy...
