Harlan's First Road Trip

Harlan, Mommy and Daddy took off to Marion, Ill yesterday to visit my dad, stepmom and g-ma. We were hoping to cheer g-ma up since she hasnt been feeling too well lately. Harlan did wonderful in the car. We woke him up at about 6:45, fed him and then let him ride in his pj's. He slept almost the whole way there. It takes about 4.5 hrs to get there. About the last hour we stopped, gave him a bottle, changed his clothes and got back on the road. Harlan then entertained himself by making faces in the mirror at himself. It was pretty funny. He was even making himself laugh.
He pretty much slept the whole way home as well. We got home about 1 am and Daddy fed him again and then he was out for the night. He did a good job, considering his schedule was pretty messed up and he spent a good 10 hours in the car yesterday. He enjoyed seeing family and meeting a couple new family members. He always has smile for everyone he meets!
Here he his with his great grandma Little. Harlan just had all kinds of things to say to her and she fed him his afternoon bottle.

Anyone who has ever met my dad knows he is a goofball, and when Harlan is around he turns into a super goofball. Harlan got a kick outta him. They just laughed and laughed over stinky feet. Dad attempted to teach Harlan to crawl but no such luck. Harlan just ended up attacking him. As I remember, I think Dad also got beat up by Liberty a couple years ago. Not as tough as he thinks he is, I guess!

Here is Dad and Pat with Harlan. Pat was trying really hard to get Haraln to finish his bottle, but Dad was just too much of a distraction.

After visiting G-ma we went back to Dad's house to get some pears off his tree. We let Harlan suck on a pear slice, but he did not like it! Then Dad got Harlan on his tractor and we got some good pictures.
"I think I'm ready for my driver's license Mommy."

"Let me go grandpa, I can drive this thing!"

"It's too cold out here for me to smile"

"Hey grandpa, are they about done taking pictures? My butt is cold!"
