Random....

Just figured yall might like some random pictures of Harrison...

we LOVE to pull all the pillows off the couch and jump!

This was the closest I could get to an action shot -

it's not mid jump - but it is mid sneeze! HAHA!

Aunt Addie let Harrison listen to her iPod the other night - he loved it!
Here Aunt Addie is teaching Harrison the solider boy dance....
I'm afraid Harrison got my genes - he looks confused with the dance moves!! :)

we also love to play under the kitchen bar stools....

with all those toys - he loves bar stools...

oh well - as long as he's having fun - right??

Happy Valentine's Day

Since Corey and I celebrated our Valentine's day the weekend before last - we didn't really do much this last weekend except run a few errands - but that didn't stop us (really me) from dressing Harrison in a cute little red outfit! Doesn't he look like a little man!! :) Oh - and if you can't tell from the pictures - we got him a new Thomas train for his Valentine's gift - so he played trains a lot that day!! Better than chocolate... right?!?! :)

Trying to share - we're so proud!! OH - and we also discovered that Corey can get him do this crazy face - pretty much on command!! Hillarious - right?!?!

Of course I think Corey's face might be just as (if not more) funny than Harrison's!!

Katie and Austin's wedding!

Last weekend Corey and I left Harrison with Corey's parents and went to the wedding of one of my friends from high school! Since we don't get to do too much without Harrison these days we treated this as our Valentine's get away (even though the wedding was only in Roswell). I'm SO excited - Corey got me Cirque du Soleil tickets!!! I can't wait!!! :) Anyway - back to the wedding - we had a blast - the wedding, reception, and of course the bride were all beautiful - and the reception was really a great party - complete with a photo booth!! We had SUCH a great time in that photo booth - and the bride and groom used the pictures from the photo booth as their guest book - it was SUCH a great idea!!!! It couldn't have been cheap- because it had their names and the wedding date down the middle - and we could go back as many times as we wanted (and trust me we did) but it was a BLAST!!!! Thanks Katie and Austin - best idea EVER!! Here are 2 of the ones we did...

one of Corey and I...

and one of some of the crazy girls there.... Here are a couple other pictures from the night....

Here's the table we were sitting at - I wish I would have been smart enough to get a picture of the whole center piece - it was beautiful!! Also - please notice that Corey was sitting across the table from me - with his "bromance" - yep - that's right - Corey has a bromance! :)

See Corey looking deep into his eyes!
Gina, Justin (what a cheese), and Corey

Me, Katie, and Jess

"the girls"

CONGRATS Katie and Austin!!! :)

play date - play date - basketball - hockey - super bowl!

Last weekend was super busy! It all started with a 2 play date Friday! First we had a morning play date at Southern Prep with Missy and Beckham (didn't take my camera - so no pictures... sorry). This was our second time there - and I think it went really well! I hope I don't jinx it - but it's been 6 days and we haven't gotten sick - so I think we're safe this time!! He loved the moon bounce - and the trampolines - and basically just running around like a crazy kid for an hour or so!! After Southern Prep we came home for lunch and a quick nap - then off again to play date #2 with Brooke and Owen!! Harrison and Owen hadn't gotten to play together in a while - so really they just hung out and destroyed the Bourgeois house for most of the afternoon!! :) I was a little worried because Harrison weighs about 10 pounds more than Owen - and a hug tackle on hardwoods could have been disastrous - but they actually played really well together!!! There was even a little sharing!!!! :)

Always BUSY!

My favorite moment of the day was when Brooke, Owen, Harrison and I rode together to meet Corey and Scott for dinner - and the boys were in their car seats in the back - and we asked Harrison to share some goldfish with Owen and (after some encouragement) he did! It was SO sweet! Harrison extended his hand with a goldfish - and Owen took it!!! If only I had a camera at that exact second (too bad I was driving)!! Like I said - after that we met the dads for dinner... and then off to the OU basketball game! Although I'd love for yall to think that I'm just an AWESOME alumni - we only went because a friend/sorority sister/fellow alum was coaching the other team! Yeah Coach Campbell!!! Harrison also got to meet the OU mascot "Petey" - and let me tell you - he was petrified!! Corey tried to get him to go over and give him a high five - and he just about lost it right then and there. HAHA!!

Here are the boys in their OU gear... since Harrison didn't have a cool OU shirt - he just wore yellow and black!

The next morning Harrison and I got up early to drive down to Stockbridge so my cousin Andrea could cut my hair. Harrison actually got to go hang out at my cousin Kelli's house while I was getting my hair "did" - and they have a SUPER adorable little boy that's only a couple of months older than Harrison - so it was PERFECT! Chris and Kelli said they played well together - so I'm kinda sad we don't live closer to each other! From there we headed to Gwinnett - for a little down time before going to the Gwinnett Gladiators game (local hockey team - maybe semi-pro??? not really sure)! This was Harrison's first hockey experience - and I think he had a great time! He loved the mini-blimp that was flying around before the game - but once again was not so happy with the mascot!! He couldn't keep his eyes off "Maximus" - but I think it was more of one of those - "I'm not letting you out of my sight" kinda things! Had he actually come over to us I'm pretty sure it would have gotten ugly - FAST!

He loved G's hat!
I love this little outfit - thanks Nana!

Someone let him hold their "spinny" light - and Harrison couldn't quite figure it out!

Family picture opportunity!

I'm not sure what he was doing here - but I thought he was adorable (as always)! :)

Finally to finish off the weekend we had a couple of people over for a last minute super bowl party! Harrison got to hang out with Owen again - and Aunt Laura was there - which always makes him happy - so we had a great time! I wish I had taken a picture of the amount of food we had - I'm pretty sure we cooked for 50 instead of 5... but it was very yummy!!! :)

How about you POST THIS!

I'm sure many of you have seen that e-mail about all the crazy stuff little boys do... and there's that little boy who sticks feminine hygiene products all over himself?!?! (If you haven't seen it - you should - it's pretty funny) Well - not to worry - Harrison didn't do that - however.... with two dorky accountants for parents he did find something almost as funny to stick all over himself... Post It flags!!! He stuck them all over his head... not once - but twice (on separate days)!!! HAHAHA!!!

Caught in the act!
What a funny face!
Now how do I get them off?!?!

Day #2.....

Again with the funny face!! :) Sooo cute though!

It's the little stuff...

So... Harrison and I have been giving each other a cold back and forth for about 2 weeks now!! I think I'm getting over it - and then he gives it right back to me - I think he's getting over it and i give it right back to him... it's a vicious cycle!! :) Anyway - due to being sick we haven't really been able to get out and do too much - but we have had some good times at home!

I think you might have to be a parent to get excited about some of this stuff... but I really am excited about Harrison starting to communicate with us. We're not having a communication break through or anything but it's a start! His favorite word of course is "NO" and heaven forbid we tell him "no" - he breaks down in tears!! He'll ask us for water - and he'll say "open" when he wants one of his toys opened. He also knows all the grandparent's, aunt's, and uncle's names (and calls for them sparatically which is pretty funny) and he of course knows Bel - and calls out for her all the time!! I love that when we ask him if he's ready for a bath he runs to the stairs... and when we ask him if he wants milk before bed - He runs and stands at the fridge while yelling "Milky"! (That's right those are Christmas pjs - don't judge - HAHA) It's really cute! He also knows of course who Thomas is - and when we ask him if he wants to watch Thomas (while mommy cooks dinner) he shakes his head yes runs to his couch on the floor in the living room!! :)
His motor skills are also improving.... I know you can't really tell from this picture - but this is from dinner last night... we were having meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans - and Harrison is using his fork - ALL BY HIMSELF!!! Please don't get me wrong - by the end he had half given up on the fork so he was still a mess - but it's a start!! YEAH!!

OH - and I wanted to show you guys something.... when I tell you that when Harrison plays it looks like a tornado has hit our house - and I don't even try to clean up until he goes to bed - I'm not exaggerating....

I told you - WHAT A MESS!! :)

Just for fun - here are a couple cute pictures of Harrison playing in the cabinets and talking on the cell phone while playing on the tricycle!
This is what happens when we hit our head while playing under the cabinets - please ignore the snot - eww - gross! :)

PLAY TIME!

Last Friday Missy and I took Harrison and Beckham to a new "play place" called Southern Prep. It's usually a cheerleading gym but certain days of the week they pull out all kinds of play mats and stuff for little kids to play on (including a moon bounce)! They also have in-ground trampolines and a giant foam pit! I was of course really horrible and forgot to take pictures while we were there....I know - I stink - I promise I'll get more pictures next time - but here's one I got of him in the foam pit...
PS - he LOVED this place - however he and Beckham both got colds after going... BOO!!

Corey and I also wanted to take Harrison out for a family fun night before "busy season" gets crazy - so we took him to a new place called DacKids. I had heard it was like a pirate themed "Monkey Joes" - so we get there and it's a giant SAND pit!!! No kidding - there's about 4 tons of sand and balls shooting out of "cannons" - it's out of control!!! :) We seriously almost turned around before we walked in the door - but we figured Harrison would love it so we decided to suck it up and deal with the sand later! haha!! Here are a couple pictures of our adventures at DacKids...

Harrison playing in the sand...

Harrison eating the sand...

Harrison and Daddy shooting balls at the obnoxious kids (just kidding)

Harrison doing what he does best - hording!!! :)
This little chick was a BRAT - and I don't mean that lightly... she was in the little kid play area (and I'm guessing she was 4 or 5ish) - and was basically bullying the little kids!! She wouldn't let Harrison over the top of this climbing area!! Seriously - where were her parents??
