Mom, do yo think you could speed up my order a little??
I have come to realize that there is a distinct difference between a sweet "Mama" and a demanding "MOM!". Do 13 month old kids really say Mom already? Did we have to go straight from Mama to Mom?? What happened to Mommy?? The other day I was pouring a cup of milk for Harry and I guess he wanted it really bad. He was standing beside me saying Mom? Mom? MOM!! Demanding! The milk can only pour so fast, Kiddo! I'll have to admit though, it was pretty stinkin' cute!
Trying a little too hard to get a book!!
We have been pretty busy over the last week or so! Our good friend Molly finished her doctorate this spring and graduated over Mother's Day weekend. We trekked up to Purdue country to her party, which was Harry's first trip to Lafayette! We didn't have a chance to head to campus to check out any sights though. The next day, of course, was Mother's Day. We (I) had a super day...I got an iPod nano as my gift! I got hooked up by my two favorite guys! And it was hot pink to boot so I know Travis won't try to "borrow" it! We then headed back home to visit all of the Grandmas, and my dad cooked us all dinner. We also managed to fit in an Indians game that weekend...Harry even made it all the way to the end of the game! Travis predicted 4 innings. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect!
Having fun at the game
This past weekend, I had to work Saturday, and Travis and Harry went to little Morley's first birthday party. Harry fell in love with a golf club set that she got as a present. There were many cries when we had to pry it out of his hands to go to the next destination! We then headed to my cousin Seth's high school graduation open house and to visit Granny. Yesterday was also a big day for us...my wonderful boss Kevin worked for me so I could be off, because Harry was dedicated at church! Our chuch doesn't perform baptisms on kids that are too young to decide to follow God, so they do a child dedication ceremony where the parents and congregation commit to rasing the children as Christians. It was really cool and we got to do it with 4 other families. I am so glad we stumbled upon Northeast...it has changed our lives so much for the better!!
After the dedication ceremony
Harry continues to become so confident in his walking/running skills! He loves, LOVES to be chased! He gets so excited and squeals with delight! He can also do some things when asked. My favorite task? Giving hugs! He loves to give hugs and sometimes kisses. I even caught him giving Callie a big hug yesterday! It was so cute. I also am starting to suspect he is trying to say some more words and I just didn't realize it. Yesterday morning when I was fixing him breakfast, I gave him a cup of milk and I could've sworn he said "Milk"! Then yesterday afternoon I asked him to go pick out a book to read and think he said "Book"! We have also thought he tries to say "dog" but it sounds a lot like "Da" as in Dada. Katrina said today that he saw her son Michael and said something that sounded like his name. So I think he is at least really paying attention to what we all say and it trying to repeat it. His little voice is so sweet...I can't wait to hear more new words!!
See you guys later!!
