Nick's New Bicycle

Nick got a new bicycle with training wheels this week. He is so excited to ride like a big boy. We've only had one accident so far - a scraped knee.

We're also working on potty training. Nick just wants to go pee in the yard.

Harris had his 6 month check up last week. He's 19 lbs 10 oz and 28 1/2 inches. He's met all the major milestones for his age. The next step will be crawling, pulling up, and maybe cruising the furniture.

For some reason he is facinated by the phone book. Here he is reading it. Notice that it is upside down.

Tub Fun / Easter 2008

Big Mama came over on Friday to hang out with us for a while. She helped give us a bath. Harris took his very first bath in the big boy tub. He loves to splash and eat the toys.

Later she read Dr. Seuss to us.

Harris liked the story too.

Since Chris and I were both off on Friday, we took Nick to see his very first movie. He has been asking to see "Horton Hears a Hoo". It wasn't the highest class theater, but we had a great time.

Here are the kids with the Easter Bunny.

On Saturday, Nana Jane came over and helped Nick with an Easter egg hunt. He found all the eggs... and the candy.

He's thinking "What the h**l is on my head?"

On Easter Sunday, we all dressed up for church. We just couldn't get a smile out of Nick. He wanted to run up and down the pews after the service and did NOT want to say cheese for the camera.

I'm the man! Cheesing with Lauren and Harris.

Harris was much more interested in eating the plastic eggs than hunting for them.

St. Patrick's Day / New Things / 6 Months Old

It's Harris's first St. Patrick's Day. Woo Hoo! He did not have any green beer, but he did try to eat his green bib.

Here we are at school.

Lisa and I with our green babies who were not at all interested in taking pictures.

Not the most intelligent looks on their faces, but aren't they cute!

Nick has been asking to come to my school for a while now, so on Tuesday afternoon, Nick visited South Newton for a couple hours. He had a fantastic time. My students were wonderful with him. He played on the slide and on the wooden car. He's asking when he can go back.

HARRIS IS SIX MONTHS OLD!

Here's how his day started, asleep, thumb in mouth.

On the changing table, thumb in mouth.

He's naked and awake.

Dressed, thumb in mouth.

Smiling for mommy.

Look at his fat rolls. I just want to pinch them.

I can't believe we've had our Harrison for six months now. I would never have guessed how much I could love this child. Chris and I are so fortunate to have two wonderful boys in our family.
