Chad is my Google

I am stealing this quote from Cathrine Zeta Jones as she refers to Micheal Douglas but, for me it is so true. I depend on him for everything! I never realized how dependent I was until Harry came. I of course will be willing to take Harry at any time but, Chad insists I take time to go tan or run to the store to get a nursing tank while he watches Harry. He stayed home for most Harry's first 2 weeks of life and has been such a cheerleader for me. He is constantly complimenting my new role as a mom and bragging on me to all of our visitors. I am not dependent on him in many ways but, for stability and encouragement I can say I lean on him and he stays strong. He loves Harry so much, he has him right now taking tons of pictures for his 2 week birthday. I could not ask for a better father for my children. I pray that Harry gets his father's humbleness, sensitivity, love, work ethic, will to follow Christ and of course looks. Chad is my google! He is everything I need!
This picture was taken before we started the routine that has saved us from sleepless nights!

Harry and the Hicks

These are some of our good friends from church! They have been so good to us since the announcement of Harry's arrival. Holly gets "amanda's question of the day" everyday! Harrison is 2 and a 1/2 and a load of fun, he doesn't mind that Harry has the same name! Lindsey is another Harry's girlfriend prospect but she is a year older. We love their family very much and so does Harry!

mom question

I thought I really wanted a moses basket for Harrison, before I he was here and now I am not sure how useful it will be. My Aunt Roz sent me money to buy one, because it was what I wantED. Any thoughts on how useful it will be or if I even need one because I can think of other things I could use her money for! Let me know your thoughts on the moses basket question.

FYI: LOVE LOVE LOVE the pacifer, it was working great, I am just worried he is getting enough food, I am assuming he would be grouchy if he were hungry....right?

When Harry Met Adalie

Springdale Divas

These 3 ladies have been close to Chad and his family since he was in high school. Linda and Trudy's sons are Chad 2 best life long friends and Cindy's daughter was also one of Chad's good high school friends. They have engulfed me with love ever since we met and I absolutely adore them. Harry loves them too!

Santa Baby

Santa Baby had a wonderful first Christmas! He did not do as well in new surroundings and strange faces but, before long he will be terrorizing those homes and loving on those new faces!
Harry is a great eater and a great sleeper but, we are struggling with getting them at the right times.
After a night of constant "snacking" Harry's mom woke up determined to get a 10 day old baby on a routine. So far so good, his mom introduced the pacifer today despite what the "books" and "people" say and it worked for this little guy. His mom has been calling different moms constantly getting advice and they have been so supportive to her and eager to help in any way. Let's hope Harry sleeps and eats better tonight because if he doesn't his mom may lose it. Harry's parents still have their "get out of jail free" passes for a few more days and it may be stretched to weeks....or even until the 2nd child! Harry wishes all of you Happy Holidays!

1 week old

We are in shock how fast time flies when you are falling in love!
Harry likes to sing Christmas songs! He fell asleep during "Silent Night"!!

Harry Meets Grann and Memaw

4 Generations!

Day 5 and Day6

I am a bit late on his Day 5 post but, better late than never! Harry's Papa and Mimi came to visit along with Uncle Scott and Aunt Amy. He sure was happy getting all of that attention. He has been doing so good at home, he is really an easy baby so far, but tomorrow is a new day, I am counting my blessings now. We are in Harry Land constantly!
He loves to look at the lights on the Christmas tree, it is one of his favorite things to do. I had to take a picture of him in action, if I didn't want to hold him so much, he would be content sitting there staring at the lights.

DAY 4

We are moving into survival mode, I figure we have a get out of jail free card for any mistakes we make these first 2 weeks. Harry did not want to sleep by himself this morning,who can blame him, it is much more fun sleeping with someone else! Daddy woke us with this picture!

Uncle Kirk and Aunt Rachel came over with pizza for the Warehouse! Harry loves to stare and coo at them! We received our swing in the mail today from my sweet Aunt Karen and Uncle Dale! I always want to unwrap my new gifts as soon as we get them! Kirk jumped in to help while Chad hogged Harry. Of course, Chad knew I would blog about this so he gave Harry up to Rachel and he helped finish it. We love them so much, and Harry obviously does too!

I couldn't resist!!!

My NEW LOVE!

Harry took his first bath tonight, he wasn't very happy about it but, boy does he smell yummy!
I am sorry I haven't blogged much, I have been spending my time with the most perfect little guy I know!
Yesterday was our first day and it was NOT easy. He had awful gas and he was not a sleeper. Today has been a dream day, let us see what tomorrow will bring.
I just had to post a few new pics and one of my favorite old ones. The one with Olivia cracks me up! His older cousin really wanted to give him her sister's bottle nad love on him.
We have been truly blessed by our beautiful baby boy. I just sit and stare at this baby! I knew I would feel this way, but I really got strucked by the love bug! We are a happy little Warehouse! More disgusting gushy posts to come!
