The Nuffer Nest

This week in the NFSC we were supposed to learn about American and why we celebrate the 4th of July every year, but since it was Harrison's birthday, we didn't get to it, but we did celebrate the 4th- there just wasn't as much learning involved as I would have liked. So, I have been mulling over (and a little worried) about this year's 4th because I know that Jackson and Austin would LOVE to see a big firework display, but I also know that there is noway Harrison would be able to stay awake until after the sun goes down.  That's an impossible feat for my littlest handsome right now.  I also didn't want our family to be separated so some of us could attend fireworks while others of us stayed home for Harrison to get some sleep.  Seriously, I had anxiety over this.  It's not fair for the bigger boys to miss out just because there's a baby in the family.  But like it always does, it turned out perfect this year. First, the big boys went with daddy

I canNOT believe that my littlest little man is 1 already!  What!?   Harrison is just perfect!  He is so happy.  And smart.  And full of energy.  He is the sweetest baby.  He has the most adorable dimples.  The fluffiest (almost) white hair.  And his cute little pudgy arms reaching for me and wrapping around my neck is the best feeling in the world!  I'm so so grateful he joined our family a year ago! Harrison is the fastest crawler around!  He is standing by himself, but he doesn't like walking just yet.  He is such a little chatter!  He spends most of his days saying "what's this!?" about every little thing his little chubby fingers picks up.  He also says:  hi, bye-bye, brah-brah, mama, dada, what's that, who's that, diaper, all done, more, baba, juice, and yessssss.  I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now.  He's such a smart baby!  He has 8 teeth (4 top and 4 bottom) and he climbs like a little monkey w
