Happy Valentine's Day

My new nephew, new pics, and my 5 addictions.

Introducing my newest little nephew Damian. He's so cute and cuddly.

Our new favorite toy...the slide. Harrison loves it, and he doesn't want your help to go down either. I held his hand the first few rides down and then he was like "no way mom, I can do this myself".


Can you believe all this snow we got on Monday? I feel like it should be Christmas time again. We had to say bye-bye to the slide for a little while. I can't wait for spring.

Harrison now loves olives. He holds up his fat little finger so you can stick it on there, it's so cute.


Tagged...5 Addictions
1. Coke. It can be diet or regular, I don't care. I just love an ice cold coke. I especially love a coke, popcorn, and a good show.
2. Lotion. I HAVE to have it no matter what. I think my mom is to blame for this one. We had so much lotion in our house growing up that my dad used to joke and say, "at least if there is a disaster we'll eat lotion, because we have more lotion storage than food storage." Thanks mom, I will always have soft skin because of you.
3. Having my house clean. I have this thing about vacuuming. I hate crumbs.
4. Sleeping in. Although now that I have a child I won't be indulging in this addiction again for quite sometime.
5. My shows. Grey's Anatomy, Lost, The Office, and now Sesame Street (it keeps Harrison entertained for a little while as you can tell by the picture).

I tag Jessie, Tawny, and Heidi.

I don't know what happened last night, but Harrison woke up EVERY 2 HOURS. Are you kidding me? I thought we were past this. Not only did he wake up a lot, he decided that 6:30 AM was the perfect time to be up for the day. Who gets up at 6:30, not me that's for sure. Don't tell the doctor, I broke 2 rules. Not only did I give him a bottle, but I let him lay in his crib and fall asleep with it. Sorry doc, but I don't get up at 6:30 in the morning. He's still a cutie pie though.

After that he slept in until 9:30, it was wonderful. I made his favorite breakfast...pancakes. I don't know if he even tasted anything, he was shoving pancakes and strawberries in his mouth as fast as he could.


It is such a nice day today. We went outside for a little bit and played. When you ask Harrison if he wants to go outside he says "side". He has always loved to be out in the sunshine ever since he was a tiny baby. We definitely soaked up some vitamin D today. It was fun.


Some new things Harrison did this week:
If you ask him where his bellybutton is he'll lift up his shirt and point to it.
He mimics everything you say.
In the morning when you go in to get him out of his crib he picks up his Curious George monkey and says "Joe".
He is walking better and better every day.
He thinks that he has to pick up all of his heaviest toys and carry them across the room.
He sits on Nick's lap in sacrament meeting, points at the basketball hoop and says "hoop".
He said "Cheetos" and "thanks".
He makes the funniest fish face.
He is eating like there is no tomorrow. FINALLY.
