20 Months Old!

We took some pictures to celebrate turning 20 months old...these are a few of our favorites.

Well here we are, somehow 20 months old! Will he really be two years old soon? Hard to believe...

Lately the weather here has been just beautiful so we have spent a lot of time at the park. We go in the morning after our walk, and then again in the afternoon. Harrison is happiest when he is outside, so it is really great to finally have this nice weather as opposed to the heat. I will miss this in July!

Here are a few of my favorite playground photos from the last week:

He likes to ride the cement mixer


One of my favorite faces he makes

He looks so cute in his sunglasses but hasn't wanted to keep them on lately

Harrison is still learning new signs all the time, although he's been more into Curious George than Signing Time shows lately. He even made up a sign for "raisin" since he likes them so much. We still don't have too many words, but he sure seems to be trying. He tried to say "vegetable" the other night, and I think he's tried to say bug, moon, and a few other things I can't remember right now. He's also signing "please" a lot when he wants something. Yay for manners!

Harrison has been in a "space saver" high chair which attaches to a regular chair at the table. However, lately he has started to look too big for it and seems kind of uncomfortable. So, we broke down and ordered one of the seemingly giant full-size high chairs. He loves it! His tray is much bigger so we have less food on the floor and he has more room for books and cups (since he insists on having both milk and water).

This weekend Nana, Uncle Richard and Aunt Allison came to visit. Harrison had a great time playing with everyone...he loves having people here to play with!

Reading with Nana

It was great weather so we spent a lot of time at the park. He is getting better at climbing every day and loves to swing on his tummy on the big kid swings...he never did like the bucket swing.

Lately he loves to play in Mark's truck. As soon as Mark gets home from work Harrison runs to meet him (we are usually outside waiting!) and can't wait to climb in the truck. He gets this look on his face that is sheer happiness and just bounces all over the front seats pushing every button.

Another new fun activity we started this week is coloring. Finally he likes it! I have tried to get him to color for probably the past six months and he always just wanted to take bites of the crayons. But, finally, he likes it. He signs "colors" when he wants to color and will sit in his high chair and happily color for up to 30 minutes sometimes. Whoo Hoo! He ends up with marker all over him, but thankfully washable markers really come right off in the bath without any scrubbing. He also loves to take the caps off of all of the markers, put them back on, then put all of the markers back in the box.

Harrison has been keeping me busy lately so I haven't had much time to post, but I'll try to at least get some pictures posted more frequently so you can see his cute face :-)
