Harrison-isms

We have an interesting little boy in our household. I want to remember some of the funny & cute little things he is saying right now.

Oscar Trash - instead of Oscar the Grouch
Help me sock - when he needs his sock fixed
Help me two - when he wants me to help him hold two fingers up
Peace - and he throws up the peace sign
Awesomay - while showing you a thumps up
Shake milk - for those afternoon Sonic runs when we get a milk shake
Telly Vales - for Veggie Tales
Coming Mommy? - when he thinks you are being too slow
Harrison Mittmire - for his full name
Mommy or Daddy Mittmire - because that is what he calls us ;)
He loves to point out his elmos (elbows) & shodders (shoulders).
He asks for a tissue or paper towel often to wipe his nose even if it is not running.
I don't even know how to spell how he pronounces ravioli!

He could drink a gallon of milk every day if we let him. Everyday when I pick him up from school he asks for milk and a snack, even if he is finishing a snack in class. But he is eating like a bird at meals. We are lucky if he eats 5 bites of food. He loves to play outside, right now baseball is his favorite. He is singing his ABC's & happy birthday plus all songs on his kid cds. His favorite song is still 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman but he calls it Soul. He can tell you all the letters in the alphabet by sight & knows what letter his name & Sadie's name starts with & what sound they make. He is counting & making numbers with his fingers (he has a little trouble with 3). Most of the time he can tell you numbers by sight but he is not as good with them yet. He knows all his basic colors and loves to tell you green means go & red means stop. He has finally decided that he is a big enough boy to stay in his room by himself until he goes to sleep. He likes to keep about 10 stuffed animals in his bed though. Currently, he has to have his "tommy hawks" that he got at the Braves game last weekend. We haven't started potty training really yet but we are talking about it a lot. He asks to call his grandparents on facetime all the time but just stares at them when we get them on the phone. He is a little copycat. He has started calling Sadie babydoll or darling since that is what I call her. This little man definitely keeps us on our toes, but we are loving every minute!

3 months, Easter, Braves

Well, I was doing so much better at keeping up with this blog right after Sadie was born but now I am slipping back into old habits of procrastination...

Our little lady is now 3 months old. She is always so happy & smiling! She is starting to coo a lot and is trying to sit up. She is still wearing size 1 diapers but we are about to move on up. She is wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes. She is still nursing about 4 times per day & taking 3 bottles at day care. She still hates tummy time, but we are trying to increase her a little every day. She loves her pacifier but is starting to suck on her fingers. Thankfully she is still sleeping all night. She usually naps when we get home every day then plays for about an hour. Around 7:30-8:00 she is ready to sleep for the night. I am still feeding her around 10:00 every night but she doesn't really wake up for that feeding.

Since the weather is improving around here and the days are getting longer, we are spending a lot of time outdoors.

Harrison had 3 Easter egg hunts this year. Being the bad parents that we are, we just recycled candy from each one so none of us would end up eating it all! He definitely learned that you want to get the most eggs. He would race around picking up as many eggs as possible. He even threw a couple back down that had lost their candy before he got to them!

We had our first egg dying experience this year. Harrison was very good about letting me help him even though he wants to do everything himself these days. Then we hunted the eggs & Harrison decided to play with his once we got back inside. There were eggshells all over Granna's house!
We also went to watch the Atlanta Braves play the MS Braves on Saturday. The game wasn't very interesting (Atlanta won 10-0) but it was a fun experience. Harrison loved watching the different mascots, but wasn't very excited about them when they got up close!

We also watched our church's Easter Project Friday night and had a big, delicious Easter lunch after church Sunday. We had such a fun weekend celebrating the Easter holiday with our family & friends!
