Harrison Meets Davy

Nikki and Harrison came down for a short visit. Even though it was right when school started we still found time to hang out. We went to the Harris house for dinner and brought Davy along to meet everyone. Harrison loved his new furry friend!

I love the sweet face!
Oh wait...nevermind!

December Recap

It has been a while since I have posted and I have been hearing about it! :) Life has been busy, but not too exciting. Here is some of what we have been up to:

Raymond is a great helper when I have much to do for school!

We have loved driving around looking at Christmas lights. I'm so amazed at how detailed people get. The first picture is someone's home, and the second is at Chesapeake.

I have had a lot of fun baking. I made these awesome coconut-lemon loaves to give away. The recipe is here.

Life just got sweeter being on Christmas break!

Day 1: Raymond's older sister surprised their mom yesterday coming to town earlier than expected. We had a great visit eating chicken and dumplings and of course holding precious Harrison. He has grown so much and is such a happy cuddly baby!

Day 2: I took a nap today! I haven't had a nap in months. It was great!

Oh Baby!

If I had known yesterday that my friend Sarah from college is pregnant than I would have mentioned her yesterday too! I heard the great news today...congrats Sarah and Caleb!

I finally made it out of the house last night and went to POPS with Raymond's family. I hate that I can't hold Harrison. I don't think his super wiggly arms and legs would feel good to my stomach. Plus Raymond claims that he is over the weight limit for me. Whatever. We had a 45 minute wait and guess who had to hold him the entire time?

He did like to look at me though!

It's fun to watch him be hands on. A lot of men would rather just watch, or give the baby back when it gets fussy. (That's what I would do!) When Harrison got fussy he shifted positions, started to pat the bottom, and had him asleep in no time! I think it's kind of cool how the camera was able to catch the patting action. :)

Our conversation later that night:
Me: I was impressed with how you were with the baby tonight.
Raymond: Oh yeah?
Me: Yeah, you were great. Does it make you want a baby NOW?
Raymond: No.
Me: (sigh of relief) Oh good. Me either.
