Our transition into toddlerhood is nearly complete (gulp!)! I think it would be safe to say that Harry is walking more than he is crawling now. We are down to 1 bottle of formula a day, and that will be history as soon as we finish off the can. I am also not buying anymore baby food, just using up what we already have. Crazy, huh? He is doing so well though. I thought the transition to milk would be harder, but it wasn't really difficult at all. He chugs the milk just like the formula with no problems or complaints. We had a few rough mornings when I plopped him in the highchair for some milk and oatmeal with fruit instead of a bottle and a cuddle, but now he is content with a big boy breakfast!
A new favorite activity...shaking the baby gate bars
Let me outta here! I'm a big boy now!!
Last Thursday, we went to a studio to have Harry's 12 month pictures and a family picture taken. Harry did great! He smiled a lot and stayed in a good mood the whole time. I was a little worried how it would go because he gets a little shy around strangers sometimes but he warmed up quickly. Harry was such a ham part of the time, I think they are going to turn out perfectly. I would already have the proofs by now, but I had forgotten something that I wanted to have Harry's picture on, so Dave let us come back for a few minutes yesterday morning to finish them up. We should have the proofs back early next week, so I can't wait to see them!!
We stopped by to see the Forest Ridge gang yesterday since they hadn't seen Harry in a long time and we had some extra time before I had to get to work. Harry had his first taste of candy (a sucker--not a big fan) and some M & M's. He didn't like the M & M's at first, but once he ate one, he became a fan! He did manage to get my scrubs dirty with the wonderful red candy coated shell. That's okay though, Brian got a kick out of giving him a sugar high for the day!
Travis and I are going on a date tonight! I think I can honestly say this is the first time we have gone out to dinner by ourselves since Harry came along! We have gone to some Colts games together, but I don't know if those count as dates or not. We are going to go to the Melting Pot...this will be the 4th attempt for us to go there! Hopefully it will work out this time! Uncle Chris is coming over to watch Harry. They will have so much fun together! The current message series at our church is called Marriage Exposed, just basically talking about how hard marriage can be sometimes and your spousal relationship is usually the one that suffers most when life gets so crazy. So Travis planned tonight as a surprise!! Too bad the series ends this Sunday...just kidding. I can't complain too much about my life these days!
