Ten Month Post!

From Week 39

Harrison is 10 months old!

From Week 41

Favorite Things: Books (he loves to read and to be read to), balls of any kind, music, Lilly’s food and water bowl, being tickled under his neck, the refrigerator, the dishwasher, toilet paper, playing in the water, anything electronic that lights up (laptops, cellphones, printer, tv, etc)

Least Favorite Things: Having his diaper changed (it sounds like he is being tortured!), being told “no,” not being held when he wants to be, being held when he doesn’t want to be, going to sleep – we have had a really tough time with bedtime this month

From Week 42

Tricks: Crawling with his belly off the ground, cruising across the furniture (he gets braver and braver every day), making “vroom” sounds when he pushes a toy car, locating a few toys by name (i.e. – “Harrison, where is your ball?”), talking a lot (“dada”, “mama”, “illy”, “ook” (book), “itty” (kitty)), climbing, waving bye, gesturing to be picked up, getting into trouble in a split second!

From Week 43

Foods Facts: By the end of this month Harrison is having three meals a day, three bottles a day and one afternoon snack. His favorite food is banana but he will eat just about anything you give him. He loved spaghetti noodles – we skipped the sauce this time. On a side note, keeping Harrison from eating Lilly’s dog food is a constant struggle!

From Week 43

Sleeping schedule: Harrison is finally sleeping through the night consistently. Unfortunately, he has decided that it is much more fun to be awake and his been fighting going to sleep this month. We are working hard to get his sleep schedule back on track. Most nights he will go to sleep with a little rocking (and the occasional “cry it out” approach) but it doesn’t take very much to throw his schedule completely off track.

From Week 40

Big Events:

Harrison attended Vacation Bible School at Germantown United Methodist Church – Harrison was in the Little Bird Group but was often moved up to the 1 year old room since he liked watching the older children play. Harrison was very well behaved all week and even brought home some artwork (a footprint) on the last day of VBS.

Harrison helped his Daddy and Uncle Matt with some home repairs this month. He also enjoyed loving on his Aunt CJ while they visited us in Memphis. I know Harrison can’t wait for his cousin to make his debut in September!

Harrison celebrated Father’s Day by giving his Daddy some grilling tools as well as a card with his own personal message (“dadadadada”). He even signed the card himself!

From Week 42

This month really flew by! I feel like we just celebrated his 9 month birthday. I guess it is his new mobility but it seems like the weeks go by much faster than they ever have before!
