Harrison is eight months old!

From Week 33

Harrison is trying a lot more adult foods these days and is feeding himself most of the time. It is messy but fun!

From Week 32

Least Favorite Things: Having his diaper changed, having his clothes changed, ear infections, teething, bedtime

From Week 32: GUMC Easter Egg Hunt

Tricks: He loves to scream and does a funny growl like yell (we call it the Incredible Hulk), he is a lot more vocal these days – “dadada” is being used constantly, “illy” is another favorite, he also says “hi”, “bye”, “go” and “ba ba” (do you think that is close to “mama”?), he is a great little walker as long as you hold his hands, he can click his tongue on the roof of his mouth, he has perfected a crawl like move – he drags his tummy along the ground but he travels all over the house like this and is surprisingly fast, he is also getting much better at pulling himself up, he can open and close cabinet doors

From Week 31

Sleeping schedule: Sleep was totally messed up by the combination of teething and the ear infection. He is just getting back to a normal schedule again.

From Week 34: Baptism Gown

Big Events: Easter and two Easter egg hunts (he slept through one), baptism, first professional photo shoot, first trip to the zoo, lots of teething – he now has four teeth, first ear infection
