A day at home

This is a video of Harlan's "remote car" He just about pushes anything around the floor he can. Juat a tip, if you get easy motion sickness dont watch. At the end of the video we are playing a game where he watches my feet move around. It cracks him up every time. And yeah...he has the best laugh EVER!!!!


In other news we have decided Harlan is going to have an Elmo/Sesame Street Babies first birthday party. Mommy is even going to try to make Harlan's cake with a special cake pan. I am excited about it and with Daddy's expert help I am feeling like it could turn out great. His party is scheduled for May 30th and we are really looking forward to it.

There are some definite things that I am looking forward too as Harlan turns one

*Forward facing carseat. This still freaks me out a little thanks to some crash test video on youtube and the force of impact on a little neck, but i am feeling better and better about it everyday and looking forward to seeing his cute face in the rearview mirror.

* Switiching from formula to milk. I am excited to see the look on his face as he tries milk for the first time. I thought about letting him have a few sips early, but i think that is one of those things that we will do special on his birthday (partly bc i like skim milk and i dont want whole milk to just sit in our fridge and partly bc i feel like he is trying all kinda new things lately and sometimes i have to remind myself that he is still a baby and little, and that is such a big boy thing)It will be like a rite of passage thing.

* I am really looking forward to him walking. I dont think it will change much bc he can already go anywhere he wants (video is proof) and though he may go faster, hopefully he will go with less falls and bumps of heads on floor (umm yeah who am i kidding...right??)

* He has to learn to say "mama" sometime. Maybe being one will be some kind of magic for his verbal skills and he will quit calling me "dada"
