Happy Fall Y'all!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I love everything about it.... yellow leaves, pumpkins, cinnamon candles, cool weather, boots, sweaters - well, you get the idea. To kick off the Fall season, Mom and I took Harrison to the pumpkin patch. Even though he didn't enjoy it as much as we did, he was still the "Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch!"



I know it is wrong, but this is my favorite picture from the day.

Swinging

For the past few weeks Harrison has decided that he does not like to sleep. He has become incredibly fussy around nap time. And to make matters worse, when he does fall asleep he usually wakes up in about 15 - 30 minutes. Ryan and I have tried everything to soothe him to sleep when he is throwing one of his fits.

The other day, we put him in our neighbors tree swing for the first time and to our delight he fell asleep. It must have been the combination of the cool breeze and the rocking motion. I couldn't resist taking these pics of my sweet boy!


3 Months

We didn't have a 3 month check-up so we don't have official weight and height stats for this month.

Weight - 13 lbs. (according to Ryan and I)

Sleep - Not napping too well during the day. Sleeps 5 hours straight on a good night.

Eating - Still eating every 3 hrs during the day. He has also decided he doesn't like the bottle anymore, which means I can't be gone anywhere for more than 3 hours. We are desperately working on re-introducing the bottle.

Clothes - 3-6 months

Jumperoo Time

A few weeks Mom and I decided to break out the Jumperoo. We thought Harrison was probably a little too young for it, but we thought we would go ahead and give it a try. To our surprise, he LOVED it!!



Notice his little feet don't even touch the floor yet.

Living Room or Daycare

We haven't even entered the "toy stage" and my house already looks like a daycare. What happened to my beautiful living room?!?!

Notice Harrison chillin' in his bouncy seat in the corner.

If Time Could Stand Still

For as long as I can remember, it seems like I have been counting down the days to some event. Whether it be my wedding, graduation, or the arrival of Harrison, I feel like I am always hurring my life along. Well, for the first time I am not counting the days down.

Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a Mom. At 5 I told my dad that I wasn't going to work when I grew up, but that I was going to be a Mommy. Well, my dream of being a Mommy has finally come true. I am enjoying every minute that I have off of work, and wish that just for once time could stand still!!

Boys and Football

If you know Ryan, you know that he is obsessed with Alabama football. I think the only thing that he finds more exciting than football, is finally getting to watch football with his son.

I think this picture says it all!
