Harry's Halloween Costumes

Mr. Clean, can you see the resemblence? The earring is on the wrong ear though...oops! He does love to play with the broom and Swifter!

"Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch Harry....he is the Gingerbread Man!"

Harrys First "Friday Night Lights"...on Thursday

We went to the 9th grade Tiger game tonight. Tomorrow night is Homecoming at our high school and I am thinking it will be crazy! We decided to take Harry to a more low key game to watch his buddy Joel play!

Walking to the game, Harry was amazed at those stadium lights!
Harry adored the cheers of the crowd and the players were very entertaining.
Harry adores his buddy, Kathy. She is always giving him special treats, he insists on visiting her when he comes to my school.
Harry loved the tiger tail Kathy gave him!
Go Tigers, GO!
By the end of the 2nd quarter, Harry started getting tired, until Tiger came! He couldn't keep his eyes off that huge tiger! He gave Tiger plenty of hugs!

Harry almost fell asleep walking back to the car, what a snuggler when he is tired!

Looks like football games will be are new weekend engagements, both my boys love the game! I admit, I love the socializing and cheerleaders!

The Real McCoy

Get out of there McCoy

FINALLY

Check out McCoy's blog for family pictures! We could hardly get through the day because we were so excited to see our new friend! He is absolutely precious! Harry tried to get him to get out of that swaddle and play. Harry knows all the tricks to getting out of that swaddle blanket, he is ready to teach McCoy! He even left a few treats on the hospital floor! Good thing he had McCoy's family to entertain him! Santa Dig got the most chuckles out of Harry! He was sad when when we had to leave! Although, we came right back and then we were able to hog the McCoy's whole family at Mary Miastris! I am telling you, McCoy's grandparents are some of the most fun, full of love people we know! His Aunt Jessica and Uncle Kyle are pretty special too! Harry also mentioned, that Aunt Sarah couldn't keep her eyes off of him! I love this family and love McCoy even more! I squeeked in there like I owned the place!We love this picture! Aren't these shirts fun! McCoy's Pop, Gigi, Meme, and Dig! What a beautiful group of grands!The crew out celebrating at Mary Maistris! The food was impecable! Thank you Miller Clan!

Clownin' Around

During dinner tonight, we decided to goof off! We pulled out the Halloween decor and found this hat! We all got in on the fun!
Next stop, bath, who knows where that hat came from!

Harry's personality is bustin' out! He is so silly and thinks everything we do is worth a laugh!

...See Ya in the Pumpkin Patch

What a trip! Harry was in awe of the pumkin patch!Everything was interesting!
Harry loves the pumpkin patch.

A friend of ours calls him Charlie Brown, he thinks he looks like him! "It's the great pumkin, Harry Dean

Harry the Explorer! He would not stop, and everywhere he walked he grinned!
My friends are fascinating to watch, I try to play with them, but they don't seem to notice me just yet!
Lindsey hasn't realized I am her dream man, I tried to kiss her but she just pushed me away! GIRLS!

These kids have personality!

This won't be our last trip to the pumkin patch! Harry sure did enjoy his best friends being there! Too bad, we don't know how to edit our friend Harrison, he made the very best pictures at the pumpkin patch! We will save that story for another day!

Harry the Bully/Helper

We all know that our Harry is a very gentle baby when we are around, but at daycare he can sometimes show a different mischievous side! When talking to his teachers about how he has been doing they referred to him as the "leader of the pack". They said this because he is not one to follow any of the other babies around, he instead "bugs" them, or "help" them as he would say...if he could talk.

He wanted to help 3 month Grace sleep by shaking her crib while she was sleeping.

Three month Baby Anna needed some help swinging in her swing, so Harry pushed it for her.

Payton who is 10 months was not chewing on his paci correctly, so Harry demonstrated after taking Paytons out and putting it in his mouth.

Most of you have heard about Elizabeth who is 3 weeks younger than Harry; he has a thing for her. He thinks she looks much cuter without a bow or ponytail, so he kindly pulls it out, every day.

Luckily, his teachers think he is funny and love him but, I am not so sure about the other mommies! Grace's mom and Elizabeth's mom think it is cute, I am glad they know that Harry has good intentions:)

Oh, and Harry came home sick again......bug bug bug!

Harry the 9 Month Old

It has been a wild and crazy last few weeks. Since school has started for me, I feel like it has been a whirlwind! I miss staying home with him, but love my job. I think I have changed more than Harry has since school started. I soak up every free moment with him and the moments where I don't have any one to take care of, like when I am on "vacation" shopping. We are really beginning to see Harry's personality shine through. He definitely take after me by, getting his energy from people. He spent some much needed time with Mimi and Papa yesterday. They insisted Chad and I went out on a date, after the offer we were given 6 free Razorback tickets, in prime seats; it was perfect timing! Harry would not sleep, he was so excited to spend time entertaining them, he forgot to rest! He is such a blessed baby to have so many fans!

That leads me to another personality trait, his ability to make others smile. A large group of kids at church get a kick out of making him dance, do you remember the "Go Harry" video? Well he still can shake it when he is being cheered for! It is so funny, today at church he had a crowd, adults included cheering for him and he was not shy...even in the CofC he let loose his classic dance moves! Let's hope he is not a born rebel!

He is very independent, he does very well at day care. I am able to visit him everyday, I am the only mom who comes to visit. The teachers seem like they don't mind, and Harry hasn't started throwing fits when I leave yet. Anyway, he is refer ed to as the "Leader of the Pack" in his class by the teachers and directors. He is the only one walking, they have mentioned moving him up, this makes me kind of sad. I am hoping there won't be any room and he will have to stay were he is. I love his little class and adore his teachers. They know him so well, it is so interesting to hear what they say about him. He is crazy about a Baby Elizabeth, she is a few weeks younger and always has a ponytail! They say he will walk across the room to pull her hair. He is also a paci thief...that may explain the virus he got. They say he is very independent and plays well by himself, he even shares. I am kind of obsessed with this whole sharing thing, it is so annoying to me when parents actually take a toy away from another child and give it back to their kid. I just don't think it is a big deal, Harry can get another toy and if that child's parents need to teach them to not snatch. I could go on and on about this, can you tell I have learned this from personal experience? Harry doesn't steal yet, but when he does I won't go ask other babies to give Harry's toys back. Enough said.

He is crazy about certain people, it is funny who he will give loving on.

He has been babbling a whole lot more. He will talk gibberish all the time! It is so funny!

He has 6 teeth and is eating almost everything pretty well. His favorite food at the moment is yogurt and nutragrain bars....both I despise. I usually let him eat those at school.

While watching him grow, I see God building this amazing child everyday. I have been in prayer that he takes his strengths and does great things with them and uses his weakness as lessons to grow from.

He loves people, I pray that he always loves everyone and never thinks of himself as better than anyone else.

I pray he takes his father's humility and puts himself before others always.

Still an adventurer, I pray he take sthe path God has for him, and finds joy and excitement in the good in the world and stays as far away from the bad!

He has a gentle spirit, my mom thinks since he is so sweet he may not be aggressive enough to play sports! I hope he keeps his gentle spirit to attract people and is a encouragement to everyone.

I also pray that Harry makes good friends, I believe this has a lot to do with the decisions we make and our attitude. I pray that Harry has a group of friends that are positive influences and are honest.

Harry is growing so fast, to fast for me to just sit and write about! Although I am crazy about him at this age, I miss my little baby boy who was so new. We have been so blessed, I don't know what made me so happy before him! He is our pride and joy, the greatest gift we could ever ask for, we are humbled by him. I pray that we make good choices as parents and continue to appreciate every second we have with Our Harry!

Note: My editing skills are too grand, I also write super fast, I am on a time limit! It is driving my mom crazy. I am trying to do better!

A New Day a New Sickness

Poor guy has been sick for the last 2 days and looks like will be sick tomorrow too! He has pharingitis. It is a painful virus that is very contagious. He hasn't been really fussy and is sleeping well but, not too keen on eating. I am enjoying the extra cuddle time and reading long books with paper pages. It is amazing he has a throat full of blisters and is still able to be "Happy Harry". He rarely lets go of this little dog blankie(his Uncle Scott and Aunt Amy game him).

His new favorite toy. He is making himself useful!
