Harrison's Modeling Debut

So, Harrison made his modeling debut for a store in Murrells Inlet. The owner happens to be my friend, but I can't help but think she asked him to be in it because he is so darn cute. That has to be it, right? Funny story about the photo shoot...Harrison was all about it when the photographer was taking his picture alone (I may have bribed him prior to shoot). Enter Henning (other cute boy). Harrison was absolutely not interested in being in a picture with him. All we tried to get him to do was stand behind the rocking chair. But he was not having it...maybe on the verge of tears. So, they took Henning's picture. He left. And then Harrison joyfully walked up to the chair and stood as we asked him to. Unbelievable. So, this picture is most definitely photo-shopped. It cracks me up.

Can You Tell Who Fisher Adores?

Okay, so click on this link to see Harrison and Fisher playing together. While Harrisons laugh does get disturbing, I do love it. And can someone tell me how to embed this video in my blog post?

More From Our Upstate Visit

When we were up at Matt's graduation, we had a chance to spend some time with Adam's grandparents as well. Can you tell what Harrison's favorite thing to do at Grandma and Grandpa Stephen's house is?

Congratulations Uncle Matt Matt!

Congrats, Matt! We are so proud of you. And your nephew, Harrison, thinks you hung the moon. He also seems to think that you play basketball since you graduated on the basketball court. Thanks for letting us be a part of your college graduation.

Fisher's 4 Months

So, the latest (and last) addition to our household has been out of the womb for four months now. Well, four months and some change. I was waiting to update until we had his 4 month check-up which we did today. Fisher is constantly changing and life is certainly going by a lot faster with him than it did with Harrison. Fisher has been rolling over for a month now, and as of the past two weeks, he won't stop rolling over. This is just so different from Harrison as he sat up before he rolled over. Harrison was a little late on some of his physical milestones...not for any reason except that he is just the most content kid. Fisher, from what we can tell, is a man on the move. In fact, he is trying to crawl. Call me a bad mom, but I'm doing my best to discourage it. I put him in things so he can't practice. I know...he will soon, but for now, I need him to be where I leave him so I can run out the room for a moment. For now, I'm just loving hearing him laugh like crazy and smile all of the time...and I'd rather him remain stationary while he does that. I also love cuddling this kid...after he eats, because of his reflux, we try to keep him elevated for about 20 minutes, so I take that opportunity to snuggle him. Unfortunately, he just wants to see what Harrison is doing and doesn't care about nuzzling his momma. We are just so thankful for the joy that he brings our family. Here are his stats from his check-up:

15 lbs 4 ounces (70th percentile)

26 1/4 inches (90th percentile)

The crazy thing about his weight is that when he was at the doctor just over a week ago, he weighed about one pound less. Apparently while he was sick, he lost a good bit of weight. The doctor thinks that he might would be a pound heavier if he hadn't been sick.

Mother's Day

And of course, the only one that he is looking at the camera, I'm not.

Since getting both of my kids to take a picture with me is next to impossible, here are pictures from today of the two boys who allow me to celebrate this wonderful day.

Thanks to my mom, step mom, and mother-in-law who love me well and love my kids as if they are their own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing y'all love Harrison and Fisher. We are so thankful for the time that y'all take to make them a priority in your lives. We love y'all!

This Kid

On Friday, Harrison had a "performance" for Mother's Day at school. After he got dressed, I asked him to run upstairs to grab his shoes. He came back down with a tie in his hands and said, "Mom, today is a special day. I want to wear this tie for you." First, he has never worn this tie. He has only worn a bow tie, and has only done that twice (the past two Easters). Lastly, who could argue with that? Seriously, I have the sweetest kid. I had to drop him off at a friend's house to ride to school and his friend's dad said, "Man, Harrison it looks like you are headed to high school." And it did...circa 1992. But he still looked sooo cute. And somehow, I think he pulled it off...maybe because I'm his mom. But look at him with his class...tell me he doesn't look like a baller.
