Five on Friday - July 9, 2010

For awhile now, I've been seeing "Five on Friday" posts from many bloggers. I like the concept, of having to sit down and reflect on things going on with us throughout the week. So, I am going to attempt to try weekly "Five on Friday" posts. Here it goes...

1. My favorite thing about feeding Harrison is watching his hands. He crosses his hand across his belly and holds onto the other hand while he eats – it is too cute.

2. We have nicknamed Harrison “Little Hercules” because he is very strong for being so little. He can already pick his head up and move it from side to side. He also loves to clinch his hands onto our fingers. And don’t even think about moving his arms to swaddle him up because he will fight you. He is one strong little man!

3. We had Harrison’s 1 week doctor visit this week. Harrison weighed 6.4 lbs. This let us know that Harrison is definitely eating well. When we left the hospital Harrison was down to 5.15 lbs, so he almost gained back all his weight in a week. Dr. Geiger said it usually takes two weeks. This is just one more way that Harrison is determined to show us that he is a strong little boy.

4. At only 8 days old Harrison had his first professional photo shoot. Harrison slept the whole time while we posed and dressed him up in different outfits. He is already a natural model – just look at the photos yourself.

5. Ryan, Harrison, and I want to say a BIG "Thank You" to my Mother. I have no idea how we would have survived so far without her help. She has done everything from cleaning, to cooking, to laundry, and so on. She has also stepped in as our night nurse, which is helping give Ryan and me some much needed rest. Mom, we can never thank you enough for all that you have done!! WE LOVE YOU!
