Aiden's First Artwork

Halloween is not my favorite holiday. However, I am a sucker for any artwork Aiden does at school. Today his teachers sent home his footprint that looks like a ghost and his handprints that look like a spider. I have to say it is too cute!!  

Pumpkins and Cheerios

Aiden's two new favorite things this fall are pumpkins and Cheerios. We took him to the pumpkin patch today. He was pretty unsure of all that was going on. I couldn't get him to look at the camera which is odd because he usually poses for me. All he wanted to do was put the pumpkins an gourds in his mouth. Lord only knows where those gourds have been!!! All in all, it was fun. 

Aiden has also grown very found of Cheerios. He has been very sick this week with ear infections and a stomach virus so eating was out of the question. The only thing he wanted was Cheerios. Well, today in the car I opened a new box of the tasty cereal and laid it by his car seat. The next thing I knew he had the box in his lap and was reaching in the box, pulling out Cherrios, eating them and then looking in the box to see if there were anymore. It was too cute! My little baby is growing up.  He is becoming very independent and knows what he wants. My prayer is that Aiden will grow to have a tender heart and learn to trust the Lord with everything he does. 

Gig'em Aggies

It is true... the Texas Aggies are having a "rebuilding year" in football. Nevertheless, we still love our them and root for them every weekend. I haven't taught Aiden to whoop yet but he looks pretty cute in the hat! 

WE ARE CRAWLING!!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Out of the blue, this evening, Aiden took off like a bullet and started crawling. It was like he had all this pent up energy and it finally exploded out! Randy and I just watched in amazement. He is also pulling up onto his knees and trying to get on his feet. Lord help us when that happens! Hopefully he will slow down long enough for me to get some pictures. 

God has just blessed us more than we deserve. The love we have for Aiden pales in comparison for the love that our heavenly Father has for us. I am so thankful everyday that I have the privilege to love and raise this precious gift from God. What an awesome responsibility!

8 1/2 months old

Not too much has changed around the Harrison household. Aiden is growing up so quickly! Here are some of his new developments:

1. Waving bye-bye: it is a wave fit for a parade!

2. Make "tooting" noises with his tongue: yes, you are covered in spit during this activity!

3. Splashing in the bath tub with Mr. Ducky

4. Attempting to crawl: He gets in the position and gets ready but that is it. He would rather roll to get where he wants to go. He is an expert at rolling!!!

5.  Aiden is in a "Mommy stage": Every morning I take him to his school, he clings to me for dear life and cries. It is awful! I cry all the way to work but I think Aiden stops crying when I leave. 

6. Eating big boy foods like Cheerios, noodles, pieces of turkey dogs and macaroni. 

He is our pride and joy. Enjoy the pics!
