That scene in "A Christmas Story" still terrifies me

You know the scene where they see that horrifying Santa at the mall. The elf is all mean and they throw the kids down the slide? it is one of the reasons I hate that movie. Another one is when the kid gets his tongue stuck to the pole. Yuck.

Well, we didn't send Harrison to see Santa this year (unlike someone that will remain nameless who brought his dog to see Santa, dork) but I did get pictures of him on Derek's lap.

Happy times.
I think he was mad because the reindeer shoes accentuated his big feet. I am getting ahead of myself though.

We spent the 23rd at Derek's family's house. It was Harrison's one month birthday (Happy birthday darling!!) and the day we celebrated Christmas with the Schille's.

We brought him over in this outfit. Then he peed on Grandpa Schille.We changed him into his spare outfit.

I thought it was pretty funny that Grandpa got peed on until I got pooped on about a half hour later. We only had one spare outfit with us so we had to put him in a t-shirt.
So from now on we have learned to bring multiple outfits when leaving the house. Christmas eve we dressed Harrison up to take the pictures above and Derek made a pot roast. We spent the day at home because we had plans with family the next two days. I'll blog more pictures later of my side of the family.

Harrison is slowly discovering his thumb and fingers. He has sucked on them briefly but still can't figure out they belong to him and he has control over them. When I saw him sucking his thumb for the first time I got tears in my eyes. Surprisingly I have only cried twice since he has come home. Once when I tried to read him the story "On the day you were born" and again when I saw him sucking on his thumb. Well, I have cried a few more times than that but only bc of sleep deprivation so that doesn't count.

he has also held on to a rattle and tried to suck on that.
Any day now he'll be solving the mortgage crisis. Oh they grow up so fast!

Here is one last picture of him being an airplane. This one goes out to Uncle Conrad.
Love,
