3rd Anniversary

The only recent picture I could find of us without Harry...well without Harry being the center of the picture...okay..without Harry looking at the camera.....the days of our lives!

The last 3 years have gone by so fast, we started our first year out with new jobs, new church, and a new community, then finding out we were going to to be parents only a year after being married, then marching right into becoming mom and dad during our 2nd year! It has been a ride but, a fun and great one. I could go on and on about how great of a guy he is and how there are no other men that would mesh with me as easily as my Chad. I can't thank God enough for giving me such a patient, loving, and understanding man as Chad.

God knew how compatible we would be when we met....opposites do attract! This is a late post...our anniversary was last Wednesday and we celebrated it last Saturday! Harry started throwing up on Wednesday night!

Chad left to Memphis for a guys golf trip on Thursday so, that is why I am so late my special posts! So, Happy Anniversary!

A Harry Smorgasbord

I feel very behind on my blog. I have a birthday blog and a anniversary blog that is already too late! I will have to post them later when I get myself organized. Saying that, here is a random group of pictures we have taken of Harry in the last week or so!

Playing on the slide and watching the other kids. I have to watch myself not be a "teacher" at the park with the other kids!
He likes making new friends!
Eating popcorn in his tent with his friend Hudson Lea! My mom text me to make sure she got service while playing in the tent with Harry!
He has been wanting to get in his saucer lately....too silly!He knows where the pacis are and is not afraid to grab one or two or three and switch them out ever so often!
He has started making goofy faces just to be funny!

He is finally a bath lover again! Whoo HOO!

Harryoke
Harry has a microphone we play with in the car and I guess the flashlight resembles it! I walked in our room to find him singing to it; I then followed him around our cluttered home to catch it on film.

Oh Sweet Spring

Harry, like all of us is so excited that warm weather is finally here to stay!

Harry adores his Cousin Brooklyn! I really mean it too, he is crazy about her!

Harryisms

Long time not see! I admit I have a ton to catch up on but, for now I I am going to just write a few notes on Harry at 16 months. More long posts are coming!

• Harry chases bugs and animals of any kind! Yesterday during pictures he tried catching a cricket, today it was robins and a bumble bee!
• Harry is not talking too much but, he does have alliteration down! He likes to say ball, bubble, bible, Bobo, book Papa, mook(milk), Coco, wuzit(What is it?), ruff, and the best thing he says is ugh ugh....that grunt that goes with a point!
• He is still obsessed with Shaggy and his paci.
• He has been doing the sweetest thing where he runs and throws himself on me to give me a giant hug, it is always accompanied with big smiles!
• His favorite toy is his bubble lawn mower.
• He thinks flowers are funny!
• He LOVES books...finally! I was getting super worried...being a reading specialist, the child has to read!
• I may have mentioned this before but, he enjoys puzzles, he is not really good at them but, he likes to try.
• Balls, okay I said his favorite toy is the mower but, really he could live with balls only. He things anything that is a sphere is a ball and it has to be thrown. Disclaimer: I am not ever pressing him to be a athlete, I actually try to get him to love music and instruments more than balls. The child was born to throw a ball!
• He still loves to dance! I have signed him up for kinder music this summer, I think he will enjoy it!

Harry Goes on a Safari

Harry and Co. went to the Gentry Safari tour. They had 2 petting zoos and a 5 mile driving tour. It was amazing that only 20 miles from our house are all of these animals! I would have to say it is more like a redneck version of the zoo. I doubt the zoo had animals trying to get in your car and sniff you!

These animals would just come right up to your car! Although these camels had a fence, their necks were long enough to give us some kisses! We rolled our window up super fast at these times! They had a million ostridges prancing around, they would come pack on your window...they are so ugly close up! They have signs reminding your to keep your windows up at all times, but Harry wanted to see the big lions and tigers(they were really fenced in).It was so funny watching Harry look back at the animals when we would pass by! He gets real intense looks on his face when he is trying to figure them out...reminds me of his daddy. The petting zoo was my favorite part..as you can see...poor Chad was stuck taking pictures!"Why did the chicken cross the road?" "to get away from Harry"!!Harry and the 3 Billy Goats Harry did very good throwing his Harry wanted this Gruff to follow him home...if we can't handle a dog...there is no luck for us with a goat!
"Baby Got BACK" Okay...i know...I just had to! "My hump..my hump.." Chad and I thought we were so funny singing that to the camels!
The pig was Harry's least favorite animal! That poor thing..Harry did not want to share his bread with Wilbur!
This was Harry's favorite animal! The kangaroo! Harry thinks this is called a gentle...not a kangaroo.

.The donkeys loved Harry's bread!
