Happy Birthday Harrison!

Can't believe Harrison is a year old ! This year has flown by...... I remember this day last year like it was yesterday. It always amazes me how much kids change in their first year of life. Harrison is starting to walk now, has 6 teeth, says "mama" and "dada". He refuses to sign "more" (when I show him how to do it he just smiles and laughs), but I'm trying to be consistant and hopefully he will start to sign some words. He continues to have ear infection after ear infection (about 9 so far), so on Monday he will get tubes. Yea!! When he is feeling good he is a happy little boy....everytime I pick him up from the nursery at church they tell me how happy he is. He loves Graham and wants to tackle him all the time which is good and bad....at daycare last week Harrison tried to "hug" (aka "tackle") another little boy and bit him. Hopefully he won't turn into that kid who bites all the kids in class! All in all this year has been a wonderful year...I can't wait to see what next year holds for this little boy.


I'll leave you with some pictures of the birthday boy!

Happy Birthday, Harrison! I can vouch for him on the biting since I was dropping off B when it happened. It was totally a sweet hug gone wrong! :)

I wish I could give him a birthday kiss! He is so cute.

Anderson had to moved to the other side of the table during bible class last Sunday b/c he kept smacking the girl next to him. He is definitely our bully. He also loves to tackle/wrestle/love on Kennedy. But no biting, YET!

I hope you are surviving all this stuff with PawPaw. I'll say it again, I don't know what you have done to my brother to make him such a good man! I really appreciate all you do for our family. I don't know how Mick convinced you to join our crazy family, but I sure am glad he did!
