Pics that never made it onto the blog
Random...but I wanted to include these pictures in the blog and they didn't get on there last year!! Christmas 2013...Christmas Eve and Christmas morning
Last Soccer Game of the Season
Yesterday my sweet girl had her last soccer game of the season. It was a perfect day to play soccer and a perfect game for our girl - she scored a goal! We are so proud of her!
She got her very first trophy!! She was so proud of it - as she should be. We had a great soccer season and are looking forward to the next one! Yay Blue Blasters!! (That was their team name...I just learned that this weekend. I didn't think they had a name...oops)
Halloween 2014
The girls had a wonderful Halloween this year!! Caroline had her costume parade and party on Wednesday the 29th. Ann Parker was supposed to have her party on Friday the 31st. As I was getting ready to head to her party, her teacher called and said she threw up. Bummer. I went in to get her and didn't bring my camera or anything since I assumed I was picking her up, but as it turned out she had gagged herself and was fine...so she got to stay for lunch. We ended up missing the Halloween parade this year, but we got to go to Adam's office to trick or treat there before heading home for our neighborhood party and hay ride.
In theory, it would have been a perfect day but things got complicated to fast! We got home from Adam's office later than I wanted to and Adam had to finish up some work so instead of me staying home with Harrison to pass out candy, I had to go on the hay ride in the freezing cold with the girls. I got zero pictures (well, one dark iphone picture) but we were so busy trying to get Harrison home with my in laws and the girls on the hay ride that it just didn't happen. Oh well, everyone had fun and that is the most important thing.
My sweet girls were Anna and Elsa from Frozen. Harrison wore a sweet little brown bear outfit - one of the only outfits that all three of my kids have worn. He was too little and it was much too cold for him to participate, but next year I am sure he will be all in!

Two Months Old!!!
Two Months Old - October 26, 2014
Yesterday my little boy turned two months old!! Time is flying by with this little guy. He went for his two month well visit today so I waited to do this post...two months old and I am already slacking. Third child problems...
He is growing like a weed. As of today, he weighed 10 lb. 2 oz. (5-10%), was 22 1/2 inches long (25%) and his head was 14 1/2 (5%). Dr. Wilson was very pleased with his growth. He got three shots and one oral vaccine today and took them all like a champ. He cried for all of two seconds and then was totally over it. He is officially in size 0-3 month clothes. He wore his last newborn sized sleeper last week and it was a tight squeeze! He is in size one diapers, he moved up shortly after one month. He eats about 3 oz. at each feeding every 2-3 hours in the day with at least one 4 hour stretch and he makes a 5 hour stretch at night. I am exclusively pumping, which is pretty miserable for me but I am going to keep doing it for now since he is doing so well as far as growth.
This has been the best and worst month all at the same time. He has started smiling (7 weeks, 1 day) and cooing and it's just precious. Unfortunately, he has had some colic and it's been rough. He has periods of uncontrollable crying, especially in the evening. We have tried a million different things...gas drops, probiotic drops, driving in the car, bouncer, swing, swaying, walking, swaddling, unswaddling, holding him, laying him down, and the list goes on. It's so sad and so exhausting so I am hoping that he outgrows it soon. He was my easiest pregnancy by far, but my hardest baby. The smiles and coos came at the perfect time though, right when we both really needed a little smile.
He really likes bath time, his swing, watching his sisters, and his boppy lounger. He isn't a huge fan of the bouncer. He loves to be held - all the time. At night he sleeps best when we swaddle him and he has just started to occasionally take a paci. I wasn't going to give him one, but we had to try it when the colic started. I was desperate for something. He doesn't always like it, but every now and then it's been a big help.
Happy two months, Harrison!! Even though you cry a lot we still love you so much! You are such a sweet little guy and we simply adore you. I cannot wait to watch your little personality develop over the next several months (and years). I love you!
