Major Milestones

It's official, our little guy is growing up. People are always telling me to really take advantage of the time I have with Harrison as a baby - and I have tried to - but it seems like he is growing up extra fast as of late. Yesterday we had to move the crib down lower to the floor - one too many bumps on his face. So when I went in today after his nap, he had both arms through the slats waiting for me to rescue him. I made him wait a little longer while I grabbed the camera - he wasn't happy about it.

I just realized these pictures look like he is doing hard time...

Everyone keeps asking me what Harrison's first word is - I have to say......it's MAMA. Probably because on the fridge right next to his high chair at his eye level is our Christmas family photo. And every time I put him in his chair to eat - I go over the words - MAMA, DADA, HARRISON. He seems to say MAMA every time. It melts my heart.

Lastly, I am going to be doing some consulting work from home for my old company in California - so Aunt Lizzy came over this week to play with Harrison while I was on a training call. She strapped on the hiking backpack and they took a little walk through the yard. I couldn't help but capture the moment. Thanks Liz. Harrison is getting so much better being without his Mama - another milestone that is exciting - but one that is breaking his mom's heart just a little.
