Our Harry

LovingExcitedGoofyI had a few minutes to spend with Harry while Georgia Kelley was taking a cat nap.  I took advantage of capturing his personality with the camera.  InquisitiveCuriousImaginativeInnocentWildDeterminedHe wanted me to quit taking pictures of him and take them of his toys!  He placed them and I shot them. It was actually fun!Rambunctious

Family Photos

We had a rough day yesterday! After 2 nights of driving through the night we called in sick to church! That is a rare thing around here considering I teach.  We were planning on getting pictures made with Chad's family for their Christmas card but, they had to cancel.  They left a message with Chad in the morning but, we didn't get it until we were heading to the photo location.  That is why we are wearing razorback gear.    We decided since we already had Amy we would go ahead and get a few family shots.  Amy did a great job!
We were bummed we missed Dean and Cooper's birthday party and want to wish them a very happy birthday!

Go Wolverines!

Harry got to go to Uncle Paul's first basketball game to cheer on the Wolverines!  They won!How fun are these glow in the dark sticks Coco gave them!Caroline could not stay away from Georgia Kelley!Harry could not stay away from the court!Notice the glasses that he does not like taking off!At half time Harry and Olivia decided to run and go see Uncle Paul!  I had to tell Dad to go get them!They all wanted to leave with Auntie Em!
I have to admit that I really enjoy going to basketball games! I miss the days of cheering on my dad's old teams!  We are hopeful we can go to more games of Pauls!

4 Weeks Old Last Friday



I really wanted to put her leapord heels on with this adorable outfit that Ms. Linda gave her but, they are still too big!  Georia Kelley turned a month old today, so expect pictures coming soon!

Harry and Jake


Wednesday I did not feel like getting out so, I called Kathy to see if she would drop Jake off to play with Harry!  It was a great gift!  Jake and Harry played  for hours by themselves!  They built a fort, raced cars and dump trucks, boxed, played tackle football, killed all the monsters in our house with guns and read books to each other!

Harryisms and Another Paci Lover

Harry got his tree back up in his room and told Chad he wanted a big one!  His tree has a mixture of his ornaments and Chad's from when he was a kid!Today Harry said he wanted to wear the shirt with the sandwich on it.  He has been talking about his birthday cake a lot to me lately! I asked for it.  The other day, when I was ordering it, he wanted a motorcycle, car, horse, soccer ball, football, basketball, baseball, and a lunch box on it.  Today he said he wanted a monster, flowers, rocks, sticks, and a lunch box!   I may be calling and asking for a plain white cake!  Just kidding but, seriously we have a fickle child!Guess who loves the paci?  She is taking after her big brother and it is bittersweet!  Lately it is more sweet because, it really does keep her content.  The bitter part is the fact that we have been a slave to the paci for three years and I do not want to go for another three.  Harry is giving his pacis to Santa's reindeer.  This idea is from our friends Matt and Holly...hopefully it will work!

Georgia Kelley Goes to Church

Chad did a photo shoot with Georgia Kelley before church this morning.  Harry and I left early because, I teach bible class.  Chad brough Georgia Kelley for late service.  Late service has the least amount of people and we were already sick of missing because of our fear of her getting sick.  Georgia Kelley and I ended up in the "hushing" room most of the time.As you can tell Chad decided to play around with the camera to get some different pictures of her.  We put our tree up yesterday because we knew how much she would enjoy looking at the lights.  Harry loved looking at the lights as an infant!  Christmas cheer is filling our house.  Harry looked the through Target ad. to tell Chad all the things he thought were cool!  That is not cool!  What is cool is watching Ms. Georgia Kelley grow!

3 Weeks Quick Photo Shoot

Although her clothes are bit big on her we still have wardrobe changes!

Guess Who is Three Weeks Old

We have reached the three week mark! What a good girl we have...when she is asleep!  That sounds awful but, really she has hit a crying phase.  She sleeps like a champ.  She came out sleeping all night except to eat every 3 hours but, lately she has been really fussy.  I don't want to be the mom who always blames their child crying on being sleepy but, most of the cases it is since she is so tiny.  She is very predictable!  Unlike Harry she thrives on a schedule. She went to the park for the first time! We were there for three hours watching Harry play in the sand and with Jake!  Georgia Kelley slept most of the time.  She enjoys the swing and the bouncer...no suprise there! Have I said she is in a crying phase?  I took this picture today.  It really was nap time here but, this has been a common look for about 30 or so minutes a day...not continious but, over all.  I remember Harry going through this too.  My mom reminded me that she is a baby and that is what babies do!  I don't know why I expected her to just not cry ever!  She and Harry are different babies, that is for sure!  Harry was NOT a good sleeper or eater and she came out a champ in those departments!   They are both napping right now, I am enjoying the time to update!
I have a funny Harry story.  As most of you who have been around Georgia Kelley and Harry, know that he calls her "his baby"!  A lady at the grocery store asked him if she could take the baby home with her and he gritted his teeth and looked at her and said "NO! She is MY BABY!"  I was a little embarrassed but, in the same way so proud!  He loves her, that is for sure!    Since she has been born his fits are rare, he is quick to help me any time I ask, and he respects her..most of the time. He opens doors for me when I am pushing the stroller, without me asking!  Harry always checks to see if my glass of water is full while I am nursing her.   He likes to put his head on her a little too much!  He is truly a wonderful big brother and has been a dream to work with since she has come. I am saying this, yes to brag but, really to document.  Harry can throw a fit with the best of them and can give Chad and I a run for our money on not minding but, in the last 3 weeks we have been thankful those outbursts have been limited.  The only thing I can complain about is his potty training has completely regressed!   He asked me if he could wear pull ups yesterday!
I am going to see if I can catch a nap before the Miss wakes up!
