Harrison's new toys

When Harrison was a few weeks old a friend of mine lent us her swing. He would have nothing to do with it. I kept trying for weeks to put him in it and he just screamed and screamed. So we gave it back. It only went front to back so I never new if he would enjoy a swing if it went sideways. Today he and I were on a walk and another friend was out her driveway cleaning out her car and asked if I wanted a swing for him. Her youngest is 3 and they don't need it any more. She showed me that it went front and back and side to side. I told her I'd love to try one that went sideways. Well they brought it over to us and he has loved it! I hope it will last more than just tonight! We also were given a little adorable toy that makes songs and has crinkly wings and looks like a light bright with out the light! I loved light brights when i was a kid!

Our Little Bear

Harrison has acted like a little bear ever since he was born. Grunting and grumbling his way through life. Even only a few days old he would grunt in his sleep. Now that hes 3 months old, he spends most of the time while he is a wake grunting and crying. We love our little guy, and today he took a minute out of his busy day of gunting and grumbling to be the cutest bear i've ever seen!

No doubt he is My son

Many of you have been telling me that Harrison looks like me. It's hard for me to say that, "yea he does" but here is a 2 month old picture of me and a picture of Harrison at 2 months.
I now confirm your allegations that Harrison does look like me.
Sorry that the pictures are bad, Harrison's didn't have the flash on and mine is a scan.

Twins

Josh is just crazy about our son! That is the understatement of the world. He loves to be a dad so much he wants them to be just alike. To prove my point take a look at these two photos.



I have to say that as his wife and Har's mom, really I think it's just adorable...
My only concern is that he has to scar our son's head with a big red U.

Baby Slings

This weekend there was a Baby Expo at the South towne expo center and so Josh and I though it would be fun to go and check it out. They had vendors that make and sell some really cute things. The first booth that we came to was a baby carrier/sling vendor. I had seen my friend Amber's and she seemed to like it and I'd always wanted to try Harrison in one to see if he liked it and if it was comfy. After a bit of whining on Harrison's part we finally got him in a sling. Once he got in it he about feel asleep. I really liked it! We saw a few more sling vendors and while we were walking around we remembered that Ikea has really cute fabric and thought that maybe I could get a pattern and make one. So after the expo we went down to Ikea and found some really cute floral fabric and a pretty orange solid fabric. I guessed that i would need 2 yard of each if i wanted to make it reversible like many of the slings at the expo. We went to Jo Ann's to find a pattern but they didn't have any in any pattern book... So we came home and got on line and found instructions! And this is what we ended up with.
Harrison loved it.. Well it took him a few minutes to settle into it but after he was in it he fell asleep and took a 2 hour nap in it! Holy smokes! I Love my new Sling! Best of all it was so super simple to make and i have high hopes that it will make going to work with the little guy a whole heck of a lot easier.

Getting around to Easter...

My friend Brooke got Harrison the cutest easter outfit. it was a little white bunny outfit. We put him in it on easter sunday and didnt get around to taking pictures of him in it. So finally this week on Wednesday we put him back in it and took some pictures of him in it. He is just so dang cute!
Thanks Brooke!

St. Patrick's Day, 1st day of Spring & Easter

Holy Smokes! How did all three fall in the same week. I just think that is criminal.
St. Patrick's is on of my favorite holidays, i've never figured out why but wearing green so you dont get pinched and turning all the food green you can think of, nothing could be more light hearted or frivelous.

For all you Easter Hunt goers, check out the Utah Family Magazine for lots of locations for free or very inexpensive hunts held tomorrow. They also have a website but it doesnt have quite as many listings as the magazine. http://www.utahdiscovery.com/uf/calendar.php?Date=2008-03-22&DayWeek=Saturdays

Have a Happy Easter!
