Week 37 Update

This picture was after our walk on Wednesday. I love him in his hat! He is still wearing his pajamas and had on a sweatshirt and vest since it was cold out, and he is definitely colorful!

Harrison is still doing his army crawl and seems to have picked up the pace quite a bit. He does get up on his hands and knees and will take a handful of "real" crawl steps, but then he just drops back down and scampers off. Soon I know he'll master the full crawl and then he will be unstoppable.

Early last week he finally got the hang of sitting up on his own. He sure seems happy that he can now move himself from place to place and sit up once he arrives at his destination.

Today he took off for an open window and was so happy to look out of it, feel the breeze and bang on the screen.

Since he's so mobile I've had to contain him in his pack and play more frequently now. He doesn't seem to mind though, and loves to stand up and bounce in it, as well as chew on the rails.

Last weekend he got to see all of his grandparents...they were all down for a visit. It was really exciting for him to have so many extra people here to entertain him! He just kept looking from person to person and smiling, especially when he was in his high chair and they were all in the kitchen with him. So cute! Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of him with all of them...whoops!

Harrison still only has one tooth, and it is definitely making its way in. Now when he chomps on my finger it definitely hurts! His second one must not be far behind, but still hasn't emerged.

He has mastered picking up his puffs it is lots of fun for him to feed himself. He doesn't seem too interested in feeding himself anything that is mushy though. He just likes to squeeze it and mash it up. He did feed himself a couple of bites of banana yesterday before smashing the rest, so we are improving.

We tried mixing Cheerios with his puffs, but he has shunned the Cheerios, picking out the puffs and leaving most of the O's behind. He has eaten a few rice Chex, though, so there is hope that we can move beyond puffs at some point.

Here he is eating some Rice Chex this afternoon

Last week we moved Harrison from his infant car seat to a bigger convertible one. It is pretty big, and the box it came in is huge. On Monday it was rainy and cold so we didn't go out, and Harrison was getting a little antsy. Thank goodness for the box...what a fun new toy!
