the misadventures of Harlan
Bathtime didnt go as planned last night. Daddy had stood harlan up in the tub to wash the "expensive bits" as he calls them and had just said "look mommy at how good harlan is at holding on to the duckies head" when ......i am sure you know what is coming next............he took a head first dive into the side of the bathtub. I am sure it sounded alot louder than it really was, but he definitely gave it a good whack. now harlan didn't cry at first. There was a good 10 sec pause there when he kinda looked around and then he just opened up and let out the most pitiful sounding wail you have ever heard. so i grab a towel and daddy whisks him out of the tub. after some cuddles from mommy and daddy and laughing at the "babby in the mirror" he seemed to have forgotten about the whole incident. He still needed his hair washed due to an earlier peeing fiasco, so we put him back in the tub to finish the job. well guess what happened when we returned him to the scene of the crime. oh yeah total waterworks again. oh and to make it better, mommy accidently poured the water in his face when I was trying to rinse his hair. yeah this bath was very quickly going downhill. so back outta the tub, back in a towel and more cuddles from Mommy and Daddy. of course after lotion, jammies, and bottle, our little one was back to his normal self. and even slept through the night. i guess that was his way of saying I forgive you mommy and daddy.
"Haha, that would be a funny story, if my head wasn't aching"
"can you believe these two?? and i'm from the same gene pool!"
"Since you guys can't get it under control for my bath, I will take care of the lotion!"

Baby, It's Cold Outside!!!
But that doesn't stop us from having fun inside the house. We were pretty lazy yesterday, preferring to spend the majority of the day in our pajamas and watching movies. Harlan watched "Made of Honor" with Mommy, and laughed at Mommy when she laughed at the movie. Later Mommy turned on Spongebob just so Harlan wouldn't get chick-flicked out. We also watched the Colts game with Daddy when he came home from work.
TOOTHWATCH 2008: We think we may have spotted a tooth on the horizon. We aren't completly sure what we are looking at, but there is a definite white bump on Harlan's upper gum. Like where the left one of his 2 front teeth would be. It is small, and daddy says he thinks it kind looks like a blister, but it is very white so it could be the edge of a tooth too. His gums look fine though, so I can't say for sure. I think he is getting a little annoyed with Mommy trying to look at his gums all the time. I guess I will know when he has teeth when he bites me when I stick my hand in there, right?? Don't worry, I will play the part of the papparazzi very well though, and let you know the asking price for a picture of the first tooth, when it arrives.
Harlan has become quite a good helper with laundry. What you dont believe me??? I have proof, check out these pictures!!
"Hey what's this stuff?? I wonder how it tastes??" (Dont worry I didn't let him suck on the fabric softener bottle for too long ;))
Harlan - the clothes go in the basket, not you!!!
Harlan watching Spongebob. Well kinda, he has the attention span an a 5 month old, so he only watches for a minute or two then moves on to something else.
Harlan giving his buddy a ride. I am not so sure you wanna use Harlan's taxi service if you have to ride hanging out the window!!
"Hey Daddy, I got this one, you can let go"
"Ok Daddy, we will do it your way."

Teething or rolling???
Baby Harlan is experiencing some rough nights lately. He is ending up in bed with Mommy and Daddy more and more these days. Here are my theories:
1) He is teething and maybe his mouth is starting to bother him more, esp at night. His gums still look fine, but he really likes Mommy to rub his gums. OR
2)Now that he is rolling over, he starts to roll in his sleep and it wakes him up. Last night Mommy and Daddy found him on his belly awake after he had been deep asleep. We have found him sleeping on his side too. He sometimes naps on his belly but i think if he ends up that way in his sleep, it wakes him up and he doesnt like it.
or Daddy's favorite : maybe it is a growth spurt. ( He says all mommies blame everything on growth spurts haha)
Even though I dont sleep very comfy with Harlan in bed, it it so nice to have the warm little bunch of love snuggled up to me at night.

Busy week
Yes our family has had a busy week. Here is a summary of Harlan's first Halloween weekend.
Friday~ Happy Halloween. Harlan went trick or treating with Gigi and Libby. Harlan went as a puppy (see pics below). Reports are that he was the cutest little trick or treater out that night!
Saturday~ Mommy, Daddy and Harlan headed down to the Watt's camp for a Halloween party. Lots of family were present and Harlan had smiles and giggles for everyone. Harlan met Aunt Ana's father and niece from Brazil and he really liked them. Ana had him giggling and laughing a bunch, you know that really funny belly laugh. Of course Mommy forgot her camera, so no pics from the fun. Rumor has it that Harlan might be going on his first Rhino ride sometime soon. (Not the animal, the ATV!) It has seatbelts so grandpa can strap his carseat in and go. I predict he will love looking around, esp up at the tress as they go by, or he will fall asleep from the sounds of the motor. Harlan also really liked the big campfire. The orange glow had him mesmerized.
Sunday - we had a lazy day, headed home, and didnt do much of anything else. Mommy and Harlan even fell asleep before the we could see the Colts beat the Patriots.
Some new exciting things going on in Harlan's World ~
*Harlan in now rolling from his back to his belly all by himself, without mommy cheating and helping. He did it first at Gigi's house last week and has been a rolling fool since then. This morning I found him in his crib trying to roll but his feet were caught in the bars on the side of his crib. Did I mention I still really need to get those bumpers on that crib*
*Daylight savings time means nothing to Harlan. He is going to bed an hour earlier but he is also getting up an hour earlier. Darn you daylight savings time! My idea of welcoming winter is not getting up between 7 and 8 am to feed my chuncky little baby. The good news is Harlan does lay back down in bed with Mommy after his bottle and sleeps another couple of hours. Mommy is not an early riser (that's what working nights will do to you)*
*Teething. I believe Harlan is somewhere in the teething process, but luckily he is not in the uncomfortable stage of teething. He gnaws on his hands and anything else he can and he drools like crazy. His cheeks are often really rosy too. This morning he did wake up crying and was very difficult to soothe. After trying everything Mommy started rubbing Harlan's gums. I was trying to feel if anything felt like a tooth. Nothing did, and his gums did not look swollen or red. Daddy brought in some oragel and life was good once again. So we may see a tooth soon or we may not. We will be watching. Let's call it TOOTHWATCH 2008. Dont you need something else to watch now that the election will soon be over?????*
*This morning Harlan went with Mommy to get some bloodwork done. Three different people who were ooohh and ahhing over him asked me "how old?" When I told them he was 5 months I got the same response from all three. "Wow isnt he big for 5 months?" Well, no actually he is in the 50th percentile for height and weight. The funny thing is, just 3 months ago, all i heard was how little he was for 2 months old. haha that just shows you, everyone has an opinion, but you dont have to listen to them all*
Well that is a quick update. I have posted some pics below for your viweing pleasure!

Harlan's halloween costume: a puppy (could be a bunny 'cept for the tail)
Harlan napping in our bed after a long, fun weekend.
Is Harlan teething?? You be the judge! Here he is gnawing on his teething toy (which he prefers room temp)
Check out the amount of drool on his shirt!! He is a drooling machine!
"I love drooling all over Daddy!"
Harlan's new favorite thing to put in his mouth ~ his hands. And there are lots of sound effects that come with this trick.
"Daddy this cucumber is delish!"
Check out Harlan's new ride. It is his new walker and so far he has only figured out reverse, but he sure LOVED scooting around in it.
"Daddy pimped my ride!"
This is Harlan's other new toy to improve arm strength. He needs this so he will stop trying to scoot across the floor using his face! He can turn himself all the way around using his arms.
