Sorry I haven't been posting. We have been super busy around here but I am hoping to gather my thoughts and get caught up over the weekend. Here is a quick summary of some of what we have been doing this last week:
* Recovered from Harrison's first ear infection
* Harrison cuts his top two front teeth
* Grandmother Heacock (Nanoo) comes to visit for a week
* Harrison's first professional photo shoot
* Harrison is baptized at Germantown United Methodist Church
* Nanoo and I took Harrison to the Memphis Zoo (his first of many zoo trips)
* Cheered for dad at his first kickball game of the season (they lost but we all had a good time)
* Enjoyed a visit from my cousins John and Dora Hinkle as they passed through Memphis
I hope to post in more detail about these events over the next few days. Stay tuned!

Easter Egg Hunt
Harrison attended his second Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. His first Easter Egg Hunt was a little disappointing since he slept through most of the event. Being that he is only seven months old, we have very low expectations for these events but it would be nice if he would stay awake for some of the activities.
This Easter Egg Hunt was put on by our church. For all the Memphis readers with young children - I highly recommend the Germantown Methodist Church Easter Egg Hunt. It was very well organized and had plenty of activities to keep most young children occupied.
Harrison liked "finding" Easter eggs. There was a special spot for children under two but it was WAY too crowded. We decided to pick a small corner in the three year olds area to allow Harrison to hunt for eggs and take a couple of pictures. Kids will be kids of course and it wasn't long until the little three year olds were taking Harrison's eggs from him. Pretty funny...
He enjoyed the petting zoo. There was a cute little pig that made him laugh. He also seemed to like the duck (or at least the duck's cage). The other animals were interesting (sheep, miniture donkey, goats, bunny, chicken) but I think all the other kids were more interesting (distracting) than the animals.
There were lots of other activities (Thomas Train, Bunny Hop, and some craft areas). We stuck to the simple stuff like the bubble machine and the pinwheels.
We also paused for a quick photo with the Easter Bunny. Harrison was very interested in the Easter Bunny's fur and big pink nose. I thought their high five at the end was so adorable!
By the time we got back to the car, Harrison was exhausted and was practically sleeping on my shoulder. I don't think we even made it out of the parking lot before he was fast asleep.
What a great day! We look forward to many more GUMC Easter Egg Hunts :)

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.
