He's in the truck again

Like a fine wine, we aged Harrison 3 months and put him back in the truck for some updated pictures. Anne got him the hat, just like his dad's. He wears it well, and he actually seems to like to wear a baseball cap now.

In the three months separating these photos, he has added considerable body mass, he started walking (and running and dancing), and he just looks a lot older. Amazing how quickly things change.

Here are the old shots taken October 24, 2009.

Here are the new ones:

Lloyd Christmas

Due to scheduling conflicts, the Lloyd Christmas was postponed until after New Years. We all gathered at mom and dad's in Nashville for a feast and presents. Christa, Drew, Emmy and Rosa spent the day and left in the evening to head back to Cinci. Harrison's crew spent the night...but what a long night it was. H had a hard time sleeping, cried multiple times during the night, and didn't let us get very good sleep.

Mom and Dad loved it. Harrison provided great entertainment at breakfast, and it was a very Merry Christmas.





With all the busy kids, things were a little chaotic at times. Then throw in the three large dogs doing THIS on the back deck.
And here is the "H Bomb" signature move with some help from Drew and Emmy.

If it's noisy, he likes it

Harrison's new thing is to find his noisiest toys and drag them around the house. He has discovered that he can use multiple toys in tandem to maximize volume.

Architecture + Clapping

Harrison has been building a lot since he got all of his blocks for Christmas. Drew and Christa and family even supplied him with another matching jumbo set, so he now has the capability to build towering structural marvels. He always applauds himself after projects are completed, right before he demolishes them with a karate chop.

"Claps to me for building and destroying Hotel H."

"Claps for mom and dad because they are feeling blue. Dad, try clapping! It always works!"
