belated mothers day post

Taking advantage of nap time to attempt to post some very belated pictures from mothers day. We spent the day before having lunch with aunt lissa, aunt libby, uncle laryn and gigi. not only were we celebrating mothers day, but it was also my baby bro's birthday on mothers day. We had a wonderful time. It isnt very often that the whole family can get together bc one preson is usually missing due to work (noone in our family works the traditional 8-5 job)

We spent mothers day with gma watts and family and had a wonderful time with family as well. somehow mommys camera didnt make it to that celebration, so no pictures there, but it was a very fun, memorable day!

In other news, harlan is walking. He is taking several steps from one person to another and today i watched him take 4 steps from the couch to his little cars couch, without falling. He just started this tuesday and came back from gigi's house a pro. i dont think it will take him long to get his courage up and really be walking everywhere.

He also has his 5th tooth (top tooth to the left of his two front teeth) and this morning after eating, I said all done and harlan looked at me and said "all done" right back to me. i will have to ask gigi if she taught harlan this. mommy and daddy were impressed with his new words.

Tomorrow little man will be one!!!! one!!! we ran out of formula yesterday and have no plans to buy any more. harlan has impressed me with his eating and was able to takea nap today without a bottle, although i still rocked him to sleep. he is changing sooo much.

enjoy the mothers day pictures.

Kisses from gigi!!

Pictures, pictures and more pictures

Catching up on pictures. Harlan is 100% time consuming and 100% fun. He will put just about anything in his mouth, except the food i want him to eat. he has the funniest laugh in the world. he plays peek-a-boo with himself in the mirror in his room. he likes to turn on and off the tv. he still gives the best kisses ever. he says ball and knows what it means. he loves to play in water. he shares yogurt with me in the mornings. he wants to be with daddy the second he gets home from work. he wants to be with mommy when he falls or hurts himself in some way. he sleeps on his knees with his bottom in the air. he loves to play with clean laundry. he says no. he has a BIG personality. he is fun to hang out with. he can stand for a few seconds on his own, but when he realizes that he isnt hanging on to anything, he drops to his bottom. you cant have a bad day when he is around. he is our everything.

"it says there is a corona in here, now where is it?"

Happy baby

playing outside with daddy

"1,2,3...and the winner is Harlan!"

happy baby in the car after shopping with his buddy elmo"

working on his new skill

spending time at the park. trying out the swings. not quite like his baby swing he outgrew awhile ago.
he sure liked playing in the gravel with his feet, and no rocks in the mouth this time yay!

Hey Harlan, Someone Forgot to Tell You.........

You are supposed to be sick. Harlan was diagnosed with bilateral ear infections and possible strep throat yesterday. He is on his very first antibiotic (amoxicillin) and also was prescribed some drops for his ears that will numb them and help with the pain. We are also giving him tylenol and motrin and lots of love. He has a wonderful day today with only some brief moments of fussiness, usually about the time his next dose of tylenol or motrin was due. Mommy had a blast today playing peekabo on the bed with little man and playing with him outside. Here are some pictures from the day

Getting ready to go outside. We were trying out the sandals that Tia Ana and Tio Travis brought Harlan from Brazil. They are still a bit too big, but they were very entertaining from him to play with.

I got it off my foot Mommy. Can I play with it now?

Haha, got the other one off too!


I am sooo cute and I know it



This is where Harlan hangs out while Mommy showers

Harlan is eating his greens just like his shirt says

He is also eating his purples!
This is the new juice that Harlan is drinking. He seems to like it better than just regular fruit juice.

I was helping him drink it out of a regular big boy cup when he decided he could take the cup and give himself a big ole drink. Unfortunately, he dumped the whole cup on him. He was sad his juice was all gone

Licking it off his fingers sure tasted good. And are you not just loving the alalfa look he has going on here! haha guess we need to find some baby shampoo that prevents flyaways!

Play time. Look at how he is standing on a toy to reach further into the toybox. My boy is a genius!

Outside playtime. He is chewing on a mesh feeder that you can out food in so a baby wont choke. I found that putting ice in it, helps with teething pain and it seemed to feel good on his throat today too. of course he is chewing on the wrong end, what a rebel


Harlan is also saying a new word. When he is upset or when you are holding him or not allowing him to do what he wants he has been saying "nah, nah, nah" I am convinced he is saying no, no. it is at the appropriate time when it seems like he would want to being saying no. And I know he hears the word plenty enough to begin imitating it. Mama has to be next right???
