One more month

Until our baby turns 1!

With his pumpkin he got at the pumpkin patch!

He has had a very busy 11th month!  He cut his 2nd tooth on Oct 6th!  I may have mentioned it in the previous post, I have no idea.  He also just cut his 3rd tooth yesterday (Oct 18, incase I don't post this today)!!  Now he doesn't have to ask Santa for his two front teeth. :)  His bottom front one will be in soon.  I can see it poking through, it just hasn't cut through yet.

He also discovered that there are things behind all of the cabinet doors and drawers....haha. :)  Every time I go in the kitchen he usually crawls to the cabinet with pans and the cabinet with the cereal and starts pulling things out.  We got a safety latch for the cabinet under the sink, but really don't find it necessary to drill into our cabinets just to prevent him from pulling things out.  It's not hard to put them back. :)  And he enjoys it.

He also has been taking a few steps here and there.  Not very often, but he does.  He can take a few more if he is assisted.  I bet he'll be walking by Christmas!

Another "fun" discovery was the toilet.  He loves water.  And our toilet (like most) has water.  And it splishes and splashes.  Thankfully, the day he played in the toilet bowl water I had just cleaned it.  But, that's the last time that has and hopefully ever will happen. :)

We went out to lunch for two bithday's during his 11th month.  Auntie Hollee and Mema.  Not saying how young they are. :)  But it was fun.  We went to Cheddars for Auntie Hollee's birthday dinner and Colton's for Mema's.  Rowan was the perfect little flirt.  He really is the BEST baby ever.  I didn't take him out anywhere (other than to his pediatrician appt) until my birthday (so he was 5 months) because I wasn't sure how he would act.  Plus, his momma has developed some sort of germ phobia, and I did not want him to get sick.  I won't be so bad with our other children. :)  Got off topic there....anyway....he is so well behaved any time I take him anywhere.  I should never had thought otherwise. :)  He is perfect.

Making my point, my sister took our family pictures on Saturday (our Halloween day).  Rowan took a nap after the pumpkin patch, and woke up around 1.  We were planning on taking pics at 4, but he seemed very sleepy so we wanted to let him get another nap in before we left.  Well, he didn't find it necessary.  He was so good the entire time (although smiling was not something he was interested in doing haha).  He didn't go to bed til around 10 (I think) and he did not have a nap in between.  He never cried or threw a fit once.  Such a good boy. :)  And we got some awesome pics!  Thanks for taking them, Hollee! :)  And Shane. :)  You both did a great job!

The ones below are from our family photo shoot!  A couple of them are more of outtakes because I'm using our favorite ones for our Christmas cards. :)  I still love these pictures too though.  I'll eventually upload them to shutterfly and facebook so you can see all the awesome shots Hollee (and Shane) got. :)  But my favorite ones will not be uploaded until after Christmas cards are sent out. :)

And because I love my sister so, I have to post some pics of our craziness. :)   

Thanks again for coming over for our Halloween day and taking pictures!  We had a lot of fun and the pictures turned out amazing!

10 Months

I cannot believe Rowan is 10 months old already!  Two more months (well, one and a half since I'm a couple weeks late at posting this) and he'll be ONE!  Now that will be a bittersweet day in casa de Harrison!

The biggest thing to happen to Rowan during his 10th month is that he cut his FIRST tooth!  On Sept. 9th.  It is so cute!  He's got three more (the rest of his front) that are soooo close to cutting.  I can't wait for them to be in!  Neither of us are enjoying his teething.  Although, thanks to his teething necklace and orajel, it's a little more tolerable.  And so far he hasn't had any fevers, diarrhea, or rashes because of it. :)

His momma also got a new dslr as an early anniversary/Christmas/birthday/every other holiday that a gift is typical present! :)  

Here are a couple of pics taken with it:

There's the tooth!

His Mema is a very talented painter, and she is painting the following pictures for us!  At least I hope they're for us-she's so good I'd probably end up keeping them if I were her! :)

My new camera is amazing. :)  Thank you, honey! :)
