5552

Look at me in my new stylin' shoes...my WIDE shoes that is!

I flipped open my cell phone on the way home from work this evening to make a call and when I opened up my contacts, a new one had mysteriously appeared...5552. I think I know who the culprit may be...my son Harry! He was playing with my phone on the way to Katrina's today and I heard it make a noise like it does when you save something. I didn't think much about it at the time, I was just hoping that he wasn't erasing things or causing other serious damage. But how cute is that? 5552, I think I'll keep it to remind me of my baby when I open up my phone!

Sorry (again!) for the long delay in posts! It's not that I don't have cool things to say about stuff that Harry is doing, but we have been into a little bit of this and that. The biggest thing we have done lately is travel to Travis's Summer Regional for work. It was only about an hour and a half away, but it was still kinda nice to get out of dodge for a few days. The company always does things right, free hotel, good food, excellent babysitting for some functions. I can't complain! Harry actually did really well sleeping this time too! I think it helped that we could put his crib around a corner in the room so that he couldn't see us. He was really well behaved the whole time, and he especially loved the openness of the hotel lobbies and hallways! He was running around like a madman the whole weekend! We also made a trip to the zoo and he actually was into seeing some of the animals! He actually cried when we left the monkey exibit--we suspected that it is because he really is part monkey himself!! The company also bought tickets for a minor league baseball game which was a lot of fun. It was actually a double header and the bus wasn't going to come back to pick us up until the 2nd game was over (gulp!), so I was a little worried about how that would work out, but he was a total angel. It also helped that the games were only 7 innings long. That was the second time he sat through a whole baseball game...maybe we have a little fan on our hands!!



On to Father's Day...Travis went to the F1 race with Poppy and Scottie, so Harry and I were on our own for the first half of the day! He was a piece of cake...we went to church (I had to wake him up at 10am!) and came home for lunch and he went down for his nap around 1. He didn't get up until after 4!! I think the weekend absolutely wore him out! We got Travis a gift certificate to the golf course close to our house for 4 golf lessons. He was so excited about it he called that day to set up his first lesson! I think Trav had a good day. It is hard to believe that we have both been through 2 Mother's/Father's Days! How time flies...





Our little reading machine...do you know how big Baby Elmo is? I do!

Harry has truly been so utterly adorable the past few weeks. Here are a few new things that he has been doing--he says "uh uh" as in "no" (while shaking his head no-no) and he means it! I thought it was just a fluke, but the spoonful of food that went flying across the room told me otherwise! He also points at things and says something like "Da?" when he wants them. I don't know if I have mentioned it or not, but he is constantly bringing us books to read and crawls in our laps. How do you say no to that? We have read about the adventures of Purdue Pete (thanks, Jen!) more times than I can fathom!! He also puts the phone (and other objects!) up to his ear and pretends to talk, but in true stubborn baby form, will not actually talk to people on the phone. The past few days he has constantly been saying "me, me, me, me" and I hope it's not the beginning of "Mine!". Along with all of this cuteness comes with the occasional temper tantrum, but nothing major yet. Just a bit of feet stomping and the occasional dramatic slump to the floor. Nothing I haven't been able to control yet. He is still too cute when he is mad!

I think it is safe to say that Harry is starting to teethe his bottom molars. He is constantly sticking his fingers in the back of his mouth and there have been times when he has cried unconsolably for no apparent reason other than I think he is hurting. Luckily (that rapping you here is me knocking on some wood) it has not disturbed his nighttime sleep, so I am thankful for that. He won't let me anywhere near his mouth, so I can't even see if they are starting to peek through or not. I hope it doesn't last long...I definitely don't like seeing my little guy in pain!!
