Adventurer

I love getting to know more and more of Harrison's personality as he gets older. Those traits that are just so unquestionably HIM. Harrison is someone who does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. And he is ALL BOY for sure---In a few years I will definitely be pulling rock collections and dead frogs out of his pants pockets when he come home from school. Today we went to the park and he was not at all interested in the awesome (way better than when I was a kid) jungle gym, slides, or other kid stuff. And when other kids came to play they only amused him for like 30 seconds. Instead he was way more into....

Tromping across the fields
Playing with rocks...and sticks
Some rocks are cooler than others...the best ones should be taken with you wherever you go


Exploring different plant species
And sidewalk variations at the nearby recycling center

I wish I got some pics of his foray into puddles...but you'll have to picture it.

I did get one baby butt crack picture to show future girlfriends though :)

I am now 13 months and 6 days...that means...

I can climb up on stuff!!! I LOVE to climb up on everything. Like tables, and shelves...and this step ladder. Getting down is a little more tough-I want to just jump off but mommy and daddy seem to think that is a bad idea.

I've discovered that putting stuff around my neck (cords, towels, whatever) is SO fun!

I can open a package of Ramen noodles and eat it-YUMMY!!! (mommy thought this was a fluke until it was confirmed to her a second time..)

I can open drawers and reach in. Even if I can't see inside I'm sure there is something fun like makeup, toothpaste, a box of theraflu that I can play with.

If I manage to get my hands on some chapstick I've totally figured out how to get the lid off--SWEET!!!

If for some reason Red Robin won't let me sit in a high chair I can sit in a booster--so fun to be in the middle of the action!

I can visit every family in our ward during church. The ones with kids and food and way cool toys are the most fun :) I don't understand why other people that can walk stay in their chairs??? SO BORING!!

I can do baby sign language--mommy and daddy taught me a bit late because they got fed up with pointing and whining when I wanted something. At least now I can say "more" and "eat" and "drink" ...and "all gone" once in awhile.

I'm learning all kinds of new sounds and words. I'm a pro at dada, sometimes say mama (nana) when I'm mad, and have been heard to say truck, hi, eat, oh, woah, and of course kitty (ditty)

oh yeah and walking is awesome--I pretty much don't crawl at all now. And I've mastered getting from sitting from standing without help. YAY me!!!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Happiness is....PLAYING IN YOUR JAMMIES!!!!

He's coming to get me!!!
Hi mommy!!!!
I can push the high chair across the room too, right???
whose SEXY leg is that???
And no, he didn't take the cabinet doors off, that was me...of course, he did take everything OUT...
