Changes / Fun Times Outdoors

Last weekend we had a party for one of my friends who joined the 30 year club. Here are Harris, Annie and Lauren before swim time.

Harris proceeded to go through someone's things.

Here he is crawling and very excited about it.

This video was taken about a week ago. It is amazing how quick he's gotten. Now that he's on the move constantly, he isn't much into sitting still on my lap or on the floor. Nick has had a rude awakening. His toys are no longer safe.

Standing up in his bed like a big boy.

Harris is 38 weeks old. He'll celebrate his 9 month birthday next week.

Poor Nick got bitten on the nose at school this past week. You'd think by three years old the biting would have stopped.

Friday afternoon, we all went out to play and plant my mother's day garden. Yes, I know it's been over a month, but at least my tomatoes and beans are in the ground.

Harris just chilled on the grass and watched.

Nick took a more hands on approach.

He even helped water the dirt before the plants were put in.

Nick can be such a sweet and funny little kid. This week we're still singing "Jingle Bells" at night before bed, but we've changed it a little. Now the verse goes... "Jingle Bells, Nicholas Smells..."

Here's Nick showing Harris how to pour sand through his fingers.

Harris learned that you can't suck your thumb after playing in the sandbox.

We FINALLY got our play gym together. Nick loves it!

Finally it was time for bed. Harris can sit himself up in bed now. He was so tired, but he's sucking his thumb trying to stay awake for fear of missing something. A minute later he fell over still sitting partway up sound asleep.
