Seven Month Post

Harrison is seven months old!

From Week 29

From Week 27

Favorite Things: Hugging his mommy and daddy, cruising in his walker (“wheeeeee”), baths in the sink (he loves splashing), Lilly’s dog toys, remotes and cell phones, talking – Harrison has been exercising his vocal chords this month - his favorite words so far are “hi,” “dada,” “uhoh,” “baby”

From Week 28

New Foods tried: Melon, blueberry, strawberry, plums, prunes, avocado, apricot, biter biscuits, cheerios, bread, apple juice from a sippy cup

Oh, and he is now eating solids three times a day...he is such a big boy!

From Easter Practice Shoot

Least Favorite Things: avocado (not a big hit), being put in his carseat, having something taken from him (like Lilly’s toys, the remote, or my cell phone), being put down (he has gotten a little more clingy this month)

From Week 28

Tricks: Sitting up on his own, pulling up into a standing position, walking with assistance, drinking out of a cup and feeding himself finger food (cheerios)

From Week 29

Sleeping schedule: Harrison is on a consistent schedule. He goes to bed each night at 8pm and wakes up at 7am (give or take an hour). I think we are all enjoying getting a full night sleep again.

From Week 28

Big Events: St. Patrick’s Day, a special visit from his great grandfather, his first extended weekend without his parents (big thank you to the Coverdale Grandparents!), trip to Nashville, staying in the nursery at church

Whew!

Wow, it has been a busy few days.

On Friday we packed up the car and headed to Nashville for the weekend. We stayed the weekend with our friend Josh. It is always fun to expose single guys to a weekend with a baby. I think he was probably unpleasantly surprised by the 7am wake up call each morning (sorry Josh!).
Saturday we attended a wedding shower for our friends Lisa and Danny. I was a little worried about Harrison since the party started at 6pm but Harrison was an excellent guest. He enjoyed flirting with the ladies and laughing at all the men. He even stuck with his 8pm bedtime (BIG SHOCK!!!).

He was a really good traveller but I can tell that he is getting a little more stubborn about getting into his infant carrier. He really doesn't like to be restrained. I am curious if he will be a little happier in a full size car seat?!? It probably won't be long before we have to upgrade!

A Little Time for Crafts

I love when I can find a little time in the day to do something crafty. This week I decided to make an Easter wreath for the front door. I found instructions on a fellow mom's blog.

The instructions were super simple and I think I ended up with a REALLY cute wreath!

From Week 29

Harrison helped by eating the eggs.

Baby Logic

Baby has a super soft rug to play on that is full of toys:


Baby ends up here:


Baby succeeds at thoroughly confusing his mommy!

An Extra Special Visitor

From Week 28

From Week 28

We were absolutely thrilled to have an extra special visitor this weekend. Sam's Grandfather came through Memphis with Sam's parents this weekend. We loved the chance to introduce Harrison to his Great Grandfather. I think Harrison really enjoyed having another person to spoil him with love!

Hopefully we will be able to get up to Iowa sometime soon so he can meet his Great Grandmother.

A Little Late

Packing

Harrison has been enjoying a visit from his grandparents this week.

Sam and I are getting really excited (and a little nervous) about our first mini-vacation! Grams and Granddad Coverdale came up to Memphis to take care of Harrison and Lilly Dog while we go down to New Orleans for a long weekend. We know he is in really good hands but it is always a little scary leaving your baby for the first time. I know this will be a lot harder on me than on Harrison. I am sure he will have a blast playing with his grandparents.

Our friends Angie and Pete are getting married this weekend in New Orleans. We are so excited for them and can't wait to celebrate with them.



We will be leaving for New Orleans tomorrow morning and returning on Sunday afternoon.

Church Family Portrait

We had our picture taken for the church directory a couple of weeks ago. Definitely not our best picture but I think it turned out pretty good considering our session wasn't until 8pm and we practically had to force Harrison to stay awake
