eight months

Harrison has really changed since the last blog posting. He's eating essentially anything you feed him, and what a mess it is to clean up after him. If we had to guess what his favorite thing to eat is, it would probably be guacamole. The garlic-ier the better! 

He's currently enjoying the company of his baby pals during Saturday swim class, his baby pals on Mondays & Thursdays at our local library for storytime with the librarians, and any other babies he may encounter at our local gyms daycare center while mom & dad exercise. He's still not crawling, but he enjoys sitting while the other babies play. He's an observer, but when at home he's a zoomer. He zooms around the house like nobody's business in his baby walker! 

Life is definitely moving into the toddler years.

Harry visited Screen Door for brunch and had himself some biscuits and sausage gravy! and a couple nights later had some spaghetti with bolognese sauce, and anytime he see's his favorite snack (Cheerio's) he's this happy.

Swimming!!!!! - week 1

I can't believe this day finally happened!! Harrison's officially a Hillsboro Angelfish. While I was pregnant all I could think about was how fun infant swim class would be.....and let me tell you. It was pretty cute.

...asleep as soon as we pulled out of the parking spot

Christmas 2012 ***Our first Family Christmas***

December 2012 was pretty busy. Not only was it Harrison's first Christmas, Matt was accepted into Portland States Graduate School of Electrical Engineering for fall 2013 admission, Jonas had multiple vet visits only to discover he has kidney and spinal issues and with the help of medication he's stabilizing, Lucy's getting to know Harrison and is trying really hard to adjust to life as number four in the Distad household, and I'm still trying to adapt to life as a mom. I really cannot believe how quickly a day zooms by with Harry around, and how quickly a clean house can become a hoarders mecca! 

We celebrated Christmas four times this year. Christmas with the Distad Family at Aunt Julianne's the weekend before the holiday, Christmas dinner with the Allens (Allison made the most delicious stuffed shells), our own family Christmas on the 29th, and finally Skype Christmas with the Bingham-Grimes Grammies. Oh yeah!.........and oh course the Schulberg Christmas Party which was filled with friends, laughs, and presents!!!!!

Harry on the move!

Christmas time is here and so is Harrison!

 

Harrison's First Parade

It was raining pretty hard that night, but Harrison had fun at the Forset Grove Light Parade. We were also able to see Allsion and Blake walking in the parade with their two dogs Gypsy & Cutter! haha! This small town parade was kinda boring, but! It did feature probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in a parade before.....a Delorean!
