Every days a school day

It seems like every day Harrison learns something new! Yesterday he put his foot in his mouth for the first time, i took a video of it but it came out too dark so you will have to wait till he does it again, which i am sure wont be long!

He is also siting really well with very little support, i cant wait till he can sit all by himself. He is grabbing and reaching out to things now too, and tries to put anything he can in his mouth.

Here is a photo of him sitting on my lap.




And another of him with his BFF. This is a 6-9 month outfit he is now wearing!

The first of many!

Hi! This is my first blog post, so I feel like I want to write about everything and I am having to control myself!

Harrison just started sucking his thumb, it looks so cute, I don't mind as long as he gives it up before puberty! Here's a couple of photos....


It keeps him asleep all night long so Matt and I no longer have to do "Binky Runs" when his (Dummy) falls out! We like that!

I am not sure whats up but he is having some problems getting himself to sleep during the day right now. I am thinking maybe its the cold he has had, or maybe he's teething? He drools a lot and is always biting on his fists. I have no idea if that's normal? He is sleeping in his swing right now, i hope thats not a slippery slope! He normally naps so easily, i just lay him down and he wakes up 3 hours later! Well today he woke up twice after 30 minutes and i couldn't get him back down, so i resulted to the swing. he has been asleep for almost 3 hours now so maybe he was overtired? Parenting is a big guessing game!

Today is Guinness' 2nd Birthday! Happy Birthday to our first baby! As his birthday treat we took him to the new dog park that opened here in Dublin. He loved it. He is so shy though, and has a hard time socialising with the other dogs. He reminds me of the kid in the school playground who has no friends. After dark all the other dogs had left and that's when he started to run around and have fun!

Harrison has gone up another dress size lol. Today he is wearing a 6-9 month outfit. He still fits some smaller sizes, i just depends on the brand and if there's feet in it! He is getting such a big boy.

Ok, so thats it for today, keep coming back for more.
