Happy 2 Month Birthday Harrison!!

Harrison had his two month check-up today. He was a bit fussy this morning and he did have a slight temp of 100.1 at the doctor's but he looks healthy so the doctor wasn't worried. She did comment on how LONG he is. Harrison weighs 12 lbs and is 24 inches long!! Jinkies. That is almost double his birth weight which was 6 lbs 13 oz. He also got his first set of shots. I had been dreading this for a week, I thought I wasn't going to be able to handle it but we did okay. He only cried for a bit but we'll see how he is tonight....

I am heading back to work next Wednesday and I never thought I would say this but I wish I could just stay at home!! I'll miss him so much. My mom is going to watch him. I really don't think I could handle using daycare anytime soon. I am hoping that we can juggle Derek being home with him or one of the grandma's watching him. I have to find out what my work schedule will be before we can decide how we will handle it all.

Harrison is very close to rolling over. It would be early if he did it soon but we think it will be very soon. He gets closer everyday. The nurse at the doctor's office couldn't believe it when I laid him on the table and he almost flipped over!! He also smiles a lot at people and gave a laugh to the nurse at the doctor's office too. She was also surprised he did that already too!

Lots of bragging rights for momma and grammie!!

My sister Jen was playing with him on his tummy time blanket and he was mirroring her movements. She was helping him try to roll over by putting her arm in the air and moving her body. Harrison copied her movements perfectly!! It is not just me that saw it, Derek said he saw it too!! It is so exciting to watch how he changes everyday.

My Aunt Betty sent us some booties from Michigan. They are so freakin cute!!

Harrison loves them and he wears them all the time!!

We watched the inauguration together but I don't think Harrison cared too much. I tried to explain to him what a big deal it was but he just took a nap. Oh well. I know we witnessed history together!!

Love,

I can't believe how big and round he's looking now. I just saw him like 3 weeks ago! Granted I don't know much about babies but I suspect you are switching him and another baby around a la the Olsen Twins.
