Harris Family 3

Our little social butterfly has added new tricks to his repertoire over the last week. It kind of catches us by surprise sometimes the extent of what he understands these days. Mostly because we still seem to think of him as a little baby. The little, helpless baby whose days revolved around eating, sleeping, and pooping is blossoming into toddler-hood, raring to explore, finding humor in things, and wanting to communicate so badly. And a will...boy does this little guy have a will!

Here's what we've learned over the last week:


We've consistently and appropriately got signing down for "more" and "all done". He has also vocalized "more" a few times.

He's pulling up all the way now consistently. It kind of makes me laugh though, cause he's so tall he really only has to kneel to get things on surfaces. Cruising is in the works.

We've learned to throw a ball. He's mastered rolling for quite some time...but throwing is a new one! Makes things more exciting...and well, dangerous.

(By the way, can you tell that I like photographing from this angle?)

Anyway, adding to his animal sounds he is now panting like a dog when we ask what a doggy says. Apparently barking is way too yesterday compared to panting.

Other new words this week (actually some the last few weeks) are "up", "uh oh", "owe!"

We've learned that coughing after Mommy and Daddy does gets attention and is funny. So is clearing your throat when other people do. (That one isn't so funny after awhile.)

We are learning that when Mommy says, "Let's go wake up Daddy", that we crawl to his room, push open the door, and crawl up to daddy.

We have learned that when Mommy or Daddy calls from the other room, we reply, "Huh?" (Seriously the funniest thing ever!)

We've also learned that Mommy is a little too camera happy, and has run out of 2 hard drives due to so many pictures. *sigh*
