Happy Half-Birthday Harrison!
Wow. We have a six-month old! Although we started the year as just the two of us, today we can't imagine life without Harrison.
Tuesday he had his six-month well baby visit and checked out great. He weighed in at 16lbs 4oz, which is in the 25%, and he came in at 26 1/4 inches, which is 45%. So, he's long and lean :-). He had to get a couple of shots, which is definitely not his favorite thing to do, but he didn't cry nearly as badly as he did the first time around.
Harrison is truly a happy baby. Our days are filled with smiles and laughter. He greets us each morning with a big smile and lots of happy noises. On our walks every morning he is wide-eyed, taking everything in that passes by. Some days he has a lot to say, some days he just watches it all go by and takes a little nap.
He seems to really enjoy outings like trips to the grocery store, looking at everything going on around him and sometimes screaming loudly with delight at what he sees. Thankfully most everyone around us realizes I can't control the screams just yet...
When Daddy comes home Harrison is just thrilled. Lately he has become quite excited about shoes, especially Mark's running shoes. He will do his army crawl as fast as he can to follow Mark as he slowly moves away, chasing him to get his hands on the shoes. He is also loves chasing a big purple cup around the floor...who needs toys with entertainment like this around?
Harrison's cousins Jeffrey and Charlie sent him a half-birthday gift of a few essentials for his next six months. He loves the broccoli teether, and knew just what to do with the new sippy cup. Hopefully he'll like real broccoli just as much!

Over the weekend we started introducing solids to Harrison's diet. He seemed a bit unsure about the rice cereal the first few times he tried it, but warmed up to it when he had some today. We'll see how that goes, and start on some vegetables next week. Yesterday he thought it was hilarious when I was cleaning off his face...just made him laugh for some reason.
Monday night we met our friends Antoine and Kristin and their son Hunter for dinner. Hunter is two months younger than Harrison. Harrison was thrilled to see another little person and thought he'd just grab right onto Hunter and pull him a little closer. Not sure Hunter was expecting that...I think he was a little overwhelmed. Sorry Hunter! Hopefully he'll forget that by the next time we get together. And isn't that a cute picture of Harrison and his Daddy at dinner?
We feel so fortunate to have been blessed with such a great little guy, and are really looking forward to all the fun that is ahead of us.
