Just another day (& a lot of pictures!)

I have been trying to post at least once a week just to keep people updated and the last little while has not been too exciting. Harrison has really started talking a lot but every time I take out the video camera he is distracted. So, here are just some pictures of things that we do some days...
Harrison loves pushing his mower around and loves chasing us and being chased as well. Daddy loves to try and get Harrison and Harrison loves to tease before he goes running away.
I have been watching a little boy who is about 3 months younger then Harrison just a few days a week for a few weeks. He and Harrison have become good friends and although they aren't playing together here, they do enjoy playing together. Harrison is much faster then this little boy and loves to tease him and run away.
Getting into my bags all the time...here he is with the diaper bag out and the diapers on his head!
After taking some pictures for Valentine's Day this was the face that I got. I thought it was pretty funny and Jeff said he looks like a Cochran boy (his cousins) and I had to agree.
Whenever we are outside playing, he hears and airplane and stops everything to find it. He is a great airplane spotter...better then me most days!
While I was getting ready one morning, it got really quiet and when Harrison is in our room or bathroom and it is quiet there is trouble. So, I went and peeked in the closet and found him in there with the toothpaste. What a stinker!
Relaxing and playing a game. He loves anything that beeps or makes noise and Catch Phrase was the thing of the day.
Playing in his new box. He gets this from his mom (I always was turning boxes into houses and forts when I was growing up)! We got a new futon and the box is the best thing for him. We will see how long it lasts before we have to throw it away!
Harrison has started laying down on the ground when he wants to focus...here he is with Daddy's phone and he is trying to be sneaky. Daddy's phone is usually off limits!
Enjoying some of the TX winter and throwing the ball around in the backyard.
Distracted by another airplane. And the outfit is bad I know...TX is rubbing off on us.
This face captures his normal expression. He is always pointing at something that is around and wants us to tell him what it is. We see this face so often but it never gets old.
Looking back at Daddy as we try to get him to come back inside (that is the hardest part of any day)!
Playing in the hammock. Mommy wanted to relax and cuddle but our little guy never stops moving. It is great though and we love our little guy!
So, although it seems that nothing to exciting happens on any given day, we are just enjoying this time together!

Pure Happiness

Something that I am always so jealous of is a baby's laugh. Everything about it is pure and happy. They will laugh at just about anything but seem so sincere. So, here is a sample of the laughing we get to hear everyday. He does have a little cold so it sounds a little off, but it is still so great! I just love this boy. He brings me so much happiness! Enjoy!!

WARNING: The video gets a little long toward the end and you get the jest of it in the first minute or so.

I Smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

I love my baby to a fault, but he has his way of driving me a little crazy sometimes. I know, most people think he is perfect (and really we could not have asked for a better baby!) but even the perfect ones have their moments...

Like dinner time when not only does he dump all the food off his plate and rub it in his hair...he also shows us how he can let go and balance the plate on his head!Then, he loves to "help" clean him up from a meal. This really involves him trying to steal the rag while we try to wipe.
He also loves to eat his snacks in the family room instead of in the kitchen but he usually gets his way and snack time happens in the family room.
Not very often, but sometimes he earns a lollipop for a snack...this will NOT happen in the family room though! He doesn't have many teeth but those that he has are sweet teeth (just like his mom and dad!)
Then, I went in to get him up from his nap the other day and his shirt was off.
But for some reason he is looking at me like I am the crazy one...
I just love this smile. Of course, I can't stay mad about the shirt thing when this is the face I get!
And this is how he would be ALL the time if we let him. So now he always has to have pants and a onesie on so that we don't end up like this all the time. But I just love that body even though he is losing more and more of that baby chub everyday!
Although he has his moments, I love getting to see more and more of his ever developing personality. I love being at home everyday with my angel baby and am so grateful for a husband who understands the importance of this to me and to our baby and who works so hard so that I can stay home!
I love my boys!
