Harrison is FOUR months!

My little caboose turned 4 months this month! I haven't taken the "official" 4 month pictures, but I he has lots of new happenings, so I couldn't wait to write about what Harrison is like at 4 months.

He recently got a new toy that he loves. This is the first "thing" that he has shown an attachment to. I've mentioned that he LOVES the Daniel Tiger show, so I found a little DT plush at Target, so I picked it up for my littlest tiny. I had just run into Target to grab some formula, so Jim and the boys stayed in the car, and when I came out Harrison was screaming (which he usually does if he's tired and the car isn't moving), but when I showed him the DT toy he immediately stopped crying and reached for it. SO so so cute! Here he is the day he found his new friend.

There's a sweet little smile under there if you can't tell. ;)

Here he is again with DT on the floor.

He seriously LOVES this little guy!

Harrison gets to start eating "solid" food now! He's not really happy about it though...

He usually yells at me and gives me dirty looks when I try to feed him.

He's only tried oatmeal and squash so far, that is until...

The teething cookie entered his life.

It's the only food he enjoys eating/gumming/sucking right now.

This ^^ picture reminds me of when Jackson tried his first teething cookie so many moons ago...

Speaking of brothers, I am soooo grateful Harrison has warmed up to his brother, Austin, because Austin ADORES Harrison. Here's Harrison giving Austin some loves by sitting on his head.

Brothers. Whattayagonnado?

Unfortunately, 4 months has seen another first for my sweet baby boy- his first earache. :(

He caught a second cold in his short 4 months last Saturday and yesterday we found out it came with an earache. So Harrison is spending most of his days sleeping right now. Hopefully all this sleep is fighting those nasty germs!

Happy FOUR months, sweet Harrison!

Maybe a new birthday tradition...

I just have one brother and his birthday is 5 days before mine, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with him. Jim, however, has 3 brothers and a sister, and now 3 of his siblings are married, so the birthday's just keep adding up. My forgetful brain can NOT keep up. Anyway, I've been looking for a cute and thoughtful way to send birthday greetings to all the aunts and uncles since we've been married. Almost 4 years later I think I finally have an idea! My idea is to make a birthday sign every year and have the boys take a picture with the sign for whatever family member has a birthday. Then send the person the picture with birthday greetings. Then every year they will have a different picture with the boys as they grow and I won't feel guilty missing anyone's birthday without proper acknowledgement. I also thought that it would make a great photo album for us if we keep each person's birthday picture with the boys and watch their growth progression ...

Can I finally join the club??

I have issues with making anything with yeast. It scares me. I tried making rolls or bread in home-ec as a kid and it was a FLOP! Since, I stay far away from baking goods with yeast, so of course, that includes homemade bread. I LOVE homemade bread, but I've never made it. I realize I'm not a real Mormon wife and mother because of this huge flaw, but I've managed to make it as a so-so wife and mom with this awful glitch in my character. Then I came across an "easy" recipe for honey wheat bread (thanks for posting it on fb Liz Nuffer) and decided to conquer my fear of yeast. First things first, I had to buy yeast- there are 394 different kinds of yeast. No one warned me how many different kinds there were! My fear began to overcome me, but I gathered all my strength and picked the most interestingly plain kind I could find. Hopefully it would do the trick! I followed the recipe, but it said to wait until the yeast "frothed". ...

It's time to play catch-up

I haven't updated the blog in awhile because life has been VERY busy. Lots of new things happening, but that's for another day, another blog. A week or so ago we had a special breakfast, we had dessert for breakfast, strawberry shortcake. Austin LOVED it, but he's not a picky eater. Jackson, however, was not impressed with this special treat. It was like pulling teeth just to get him to try it, then he responded with, "it's delicious!", but wouldn't take another bite. I even made fresh whipped cream which he usually loves, but he wasn't interested. Anyway here are the boys with their special breakfasts. I recently posted about the new chore chart that I made for Jackson and it is going SO well!! I thought he would flip out with the 15 minutes of game time, but he doesn't. He really likes moving the magnets around on the chart and cashing in chores for nickels every night. He even knows how to use the timer for his 15 minutes of game time. ...
