Pumpkin Patch

Brian and I attempted to take Harrison to the pumpkin patch. After the Princess & Knights party all morning at our church, Harrison did not get his full nap in, so we were scared to get on a 45 minute hay ride with him. He is getting really good at melt downs lately! We will tackle the hay ride next year. For this year, we just took some pictures with all the scenery that was readily available!

finally decides he likes the hay

& finally, a touchdown!!



We can't wait until next year when we can take him on the hay ride to the actual pumpkin patch!!

Thanks Nona for our pumpkin outfit!



shots, touchdowns, & Finn

We took Harrison back to the doctor Friday for a check-up on his ear infection. Brian & I were both convinced that his ears were clear...WRONG! Friday, Saturday & Sunday we went to the doctor for Rocephin shots. These shots are pure torture!! We will go back in another 3 weeks to recheck his ears again. If they aren't clear this time, we will be referred to an ENT to consider tubes. Needless to say, our plans of going to the MSU game were changed. But we did watch the game from home...

Sadly Harrison only got to do the touchdown motion once during the game!

isn't that the cutest MState booty!

it's a rough day when  you fall asleep in your bouncer!

Harrison & Finn are still getting used to each other since Finn stays outside most of the time. One day Finn wants to play with Harrison & Harrison is standoffish; the next day it is the opposite.

My mom is one of the most talented people I know. She has had lots of projects since we found out we had a little boy on the way. She has completed all of them perfectly & most of the time quickly :) This is one of her latest projects:

we now have a true pumpkinhead!!

toboggans and pjs

I just have to share a couple of super cute pictures of my little man.

Daddy went to watch Courageous with some men from our church tonight. This is the sequence of events that occured after supper & bath time in our house:

reading/eating a book

chasing the camera

looking out the window

playing peek a boo in the curtains

opening a very early birthday present

eating the bow from the present

getting comfortable crawling with my new backpack

all while wearing my new Halloween pajamas that glow in the dark!

This little man is full of energy & all over the place!!

A late first

I am very behind on documenting Harrison's very first MSU football game! Brian and I took him to the LA Tech game. We were planning on leaving around half time or early in the third quarter. Well...everyone who saw that game knows we were not able to leave early - we stayed until the Dawgs finally pulled in the win in overtime! Harrison did fabulous! He played in our laps, ate snacks & 2 jars of baby food & drank a bottle during the game. Luckily, there is a little boy about 4 or 5 who sits behind us. He kept Harrison entertained for a good portion of the ballgame. And we have great people who sit close around us that all love kids, so we had good support the whole game.

watching the boys practice or the band playing (I can't remember!)

excited about the Bulldog victory!!

Harrison even took a little power nap during the fourth quarter so he could stay up until the end of overtime! He got to visit with all of our tailgating buddies & meet a co-worker of mine & Brian's from our Vet School student worker days. We hope he continues to do as well as he did for this game at all the others.

I didn't mention in his 9 month post some stats I want to be able to remember in the years to come.

Diaper size: 3

Clothes size: 6-9 months & mostly 9-12 months

Shoe size: 3-4, wearing 12-24 month socks

We may experience another first pretty soon with a trip to the Fair!!
