Harrison: 7 months

Well, since he's almost 8 months old, I should probably talk about his 7th month...
He's just growing so fast I can't keep up!

Here's a quick comparison of how much he's grown. He's only about 2 weeks old in the picture on the right.

He's not very mobile because he's my lazy baby. His brothers feed into his lazy by doing everything for him, but he can still get into things! I brought him into the kitchen with me while I cleaned out the fridge, so he found a way to keep himself busy-

He's eating pretty much everything we put in front of him. He especially loves quesadillas and carrots. And he'll never turn down some bread.

He's beginning to play with his brothers!

He still cries, "brah brah" when they leave the room. Here he is playing Legos with his big brothers. The older boys had gone upstairs to play and he cried and cried while staring at the door they left through, so I decided to take him up to their room so he could see him. As soon as he saw them he started giggling and screaming (excited screams). So he ate a Lego while they built stuff.

His favorite toy is still an empty water bottle, but his jumperoo is a very close second.

This is kind of random, but I'm so so grateful Harrison will get to wear this shirt. Jackson wore it, then Austin, and next, Harrison. Austin's just about grown out of it, but it's my very favorite shirt, and I'm so grateful Harrison will wear it in a couple years. I don't know why I'm so attached to this shirt, the boys have had several "I love mommy" shirts, but this one just makes my heart happy.

Harrison is growing so fast, it feels like the first 12 months of his life are merely 12 weeks. I blink and he's one month older. He's such a good, happy baby, so maybe that's why it's going so fast. I don't know, but I wish it would slow down.

I love this face, he gives me this face quite often. I think he thinks I'm a little crazy.

...he's probably right.

If you decorate, it will come.

A friend of mine uses the motto, "if you decorate, it will come". So I decorated for fall because I want the fall weather to get here already. I'm a pregnant lady who doesn't like the heat when I'm not pregnant, so I'm especially not fond of it right now. It's supposed to be in the low 80's here, but instead it's in the high flippin' 90's! A friend of mine has a fabulous blog, http://smallsimplethingswithlove.blogspot.com, and it is my FAVORITE blog, so check it out. Nicole, is talented and creative and on a budget!! (my 3 favorite things) Anyway, she had some really cute ideas on her blog that I stole and it got me in the mood for decorating! This picture is of our entry way, by our front door. My favorite part is the autumn picture which I made with my handy-dandy Cricut machine. My husband even helped, hehe. I've had the frame for at least 10 years and I just took out the old ugly picture of the flower that was in it and crea

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

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the
