Eight Month Update

Say "bye-bye" to 8 months because Baby Boy just turned 9 months yesterday.

Unfortunately I am playing catch up so we do not have his 9 month update ready but here's his 8 months. .. finally.

What a joy this new phase in his life is! Harrison is no longer just rolling and army crawling around, he has become much more mobile. And Mommy loves it! 

November and December were very busy for us; we spent lots of time at friends and family's houses... and unfortunately everyone has tile and wood flooring so little Hare was not able to practice his crawling. However the very night we got home and set him down on the [nice, soft and plush] carpet his little knees rejoiced and just like that he started crawling! A few days later he started pulling up and walking around the couch, chairs, legs of the kitchen table and any and everything else he can chin-up on. He walks around holding Mommy or Daddy's hands and would probably walk for hours on end if we had the energy to help him! My mother in law says Jordan started walking at 9 months and now that Harrison is officially 9 months he's got the next month to figure it out if he wants to hold Daddy's record. We'll see... 

His mobility has created in him a new sense of independence, but has also stirred up some trouble. He's  constantly bonking his little noggin all over and though I try to catch him before he falls, I can't always be quicker than his fall! Boys will be boys. We're quickly learning that we are going to have some bumps and bruises in our future with this little monster of ours! 

When I see newborn babies at the store or church I just can't remember a time when Harrison was so little. Time really does have wings! Jordan and I, though much more tired than we ever expected[!], are so grateful for the blessing that Harrison is in our lives! 

Mommy loves you baby boy!
