Growing boy

My little boy is growing so fast and I just don't know how to handle it. I can't believe that he is already 7 months old. He changes so much everyday and gets sweeter by the minute. Harrison is the happiest baby and just loves everyone! He seriously smiles ALL the time.We may or may not kiss him 100 times a day! 


Harrison is a a little butter ball! :) At his 6 month check up he weighed 18 pounds and was 27 1/4 inches long. He is wearing size 2 diapers and 6-9 month clothes. 


He loves, loves his bottles. We he sees us fixing it or bringing it close to him his feet go crazy! He is now on a breakfast, lunch, dinner schedule with bottles in between. He has baby oatmeal for breakfast and loves it!! He has tried squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, bananas, apples, and peaches. He definitely favors squash, sweet potatoes, and apples. 
First try at bananas :)
He is finally establishing a good sleep pattern. He goes to bed around 8 or so every night and then wakes up around 7 or a little after every morning. He does fuss one time after we put him down and we usually are able to go in and pat his bottom and he will go back to sleep. He takes two naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The best is when you go in to get him after he wakes up. He pops his head up to find you and will give the sweetest little grin. It will melt your heart! I have to soak up the weekend mornings because he isn't awake when I leave for work. 


Harrison was taking Prevacid for his reflux, but at his 6 month appointment the doctor told us we could probably stop giving it to him. We decided to try not giving it to him and he did just fine. The day we stopped giving it to him is when he starting sleeping so much better!! I am hoping the two aren't related because if so I would have stopped the medicine long before that! There was a time where Gray and I thought we would never get a full nights sleep again!! 

Harrison stays with Grayson and Cindy (Gray's dad and step-mom) and they absolutely adore him. Every day we go to pick him up he is sitting in Grayson's lap either sleeping or just taking it all in. Harrison may or may not be spoiled over there, but we are okay with that! It has been such a huge blessing that they are able to keep him! 
Harrison sits up on his own and he has become very mobile. He is trying so hard to figure out how to crawl. I know it won't be long before he begins that and Gray and I really will be in for some fun! He loves toys and tries to put EVERYTHING in his mouth. We are always washing toys because his little 2 year old sister loves to grab the ones Harrison can put in his mouth. 

Harrison drools A LOT!!! Every outfit he wears ends up soaked with drool, even when he has a bib on. The bib and shirt end up wet. I am hoping that this excess of drool is just because of teething!! He only has one tooth that has popped through and that has made him a little fussy at night. We can see where the others are coming in, but just having pushed through yet, but it is only a matter of time. We were blessed with Evie because she was never fussy when she had a tooth coming in...I guess Harrison will have to make up for that!:)

Harrison usually loves bath time and there really is nothing better than a freshly bathed baby. We have even tried giving Evie and Harrison a bath together and so far it's have been successful! You never know what you're going to get with a 2 year old toddler!;)
I absolutely love being this boy's mommy! He is such a good baby and just makes life so much better! 
We are continuously counting our blessings!!
