Busy Boy!

Here we are doing laundry again, one of our favorite things to do these days.

Well, I've been trying to update the blog for several days now, but each time I sit down to do it, someone takes off into the kitchen. That same someone has figured out how to open the kitchen cabinets! Since we don't have the baby locks on the cabinets yet, I am forced to follow him and keep him out of danger. Guess what we are doing tonight? Gotta put locks on those cabinets to keep mommy sane. And, if he gets into the pantry, he gets so excited he doesn't know what to grab first!








On Saturday we took Harrison to get a pair of "real" shoes. He has his cute little pediped brown and orange shoes, but they just weren't working with his knit sweatpant style pants. So, now he has a super cool pair of Saucony running shoes! Who knew those came that small? And, now his toes won't freeze--he was always taking his socks off, but now he can't. Ha! He does look really grown up wearing these shoes, so it is kind of freaking me out...he looks WAY more like a little boy than a baby!



Later that day his Grandma and Grandpa stopped by for a visit, so he got to spend the afternoon showing them all of his new tricks.

On Sunday we made an elk roast. Guess who liked it? That's right! We put some pieces of elk on his tray and he happily fed them to himself.

I also tried spaghetti sauce again, and he loved that. Just a basic meat and tomato sauce without pasta, and he gobbled it right up. Look how happy he is to be eating it!

He also had some black beans and green beans this week and liked those as well. We are trying to get him to like more diverse food...but he sure didn't like the taco meat he tried tonight. He spit that right back at Daddy. Right now yogurt is by far his favorite food. He smiles when he sees the little yo-baby containers. It is pretty much the only food that he will eat that without requiring some sort of distraction to keep him from batting at the food.

Today I took Harrison to meet Santa. He didn't cry, but he sure wondered why I had handed him to some strange man. He is expression says it all.

Harrison is working on walking. Scary...soon he will be everywhere.
