Where Has the Time Gone?

Considering that Harrison turned 8 months two days ago, I thought it is about time I get this post published. I don't know why I have the hardest time writing Harrison's monthly posts. I think it is because I find it impossible to write in words just how much we love this little man and everything that he is doing at the moment. So here is my attempt at his six and seven month update.

Six Months

Seven Months

Here are Harrison's current stats (taken at his six month check up)

Weight: 16. 8 lbs (30%)

Height: 25 3/4 in. (25%)

Sleep: We are still working on the sleeping thing. We were down to getting up only once during the night, but for the past few weeks Harrison has been waking up 2 to 4 times a night. Basically, we have reverted back to the newborn stage. At this rate, I am just hoping that he sleeps through the night by 1. Despite not sleeping at night, Harrison has become a great little napper. He takes a morning and afternoon nap for about 1 - 2 hours each.

Food: Harrison LOVES his food. We are on level 2 foods and have introduced Baby Mum Mum's. We haven't had him tested for Celiac Disease, so we are holding off on introducing anything with Gluten. Hopefully, he won't take after his Mommy in that area.

Clothes: Size 2-3 diapers, 12 month clothes.

Harrison has become sooo fun! I have decided that this is my favorite age. Harrison can play and interact with you, but he isn't crawling yet - so he is still easy to keep up with. Considering how much Harrison moves (and jumps) we are getting a little worried that we are going to have our hands full once he starts moving.

In addition to mastering sitting and getting two teeth, Harrison has really developed a personality in the past two months. These are just a handful of his favorites things at the moment.

• Bath time with Daddy. It is amazing to watch the excitement in his eyes when he sees the water running.

• Reading his books

• Riding in his new bike

• Walking in his walker  - that is his 'serious' face.

• Bradie - even though we aren't sure how mutual the feeling is.

• Blowing Rasperries

• Loving on his Green Blankie

• Going on Walks

• Playing "Where's Harrison"

• Playing with Mommy's iPhone - especially the Sponge Bob app.

• Practicing waving and giving High-Fives

• Looking at himself in the mirror - he likes to hit his reflection in the mirrior, it is really funny.

• Being held upside down

I could go on, and on, and on... this little boy never stops, ane we are loving every minute of it!
