HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRISON!

It hardly seems possible but Harrison turned 1 year old today!!!! We are celebrating with our family on Saturday but Harrison had a special day none the less. He enjoyed his favorite banana-berry pancakes for breakfast before having a very busy morning playing with dad. Around lunch time he had his one year check up with Dr. Carlson...25.5 lbs and 30.5 inches...all in the 75-90% range! He is a healthy boy! He took his shots like a champ (OK we were a little mean to take him to the doctor on his birthday but he did get a sticker!)
He got several cards in the mail today and had a great time helping to open them. He actually liked the envelopes and cards equally! Our nieghbors and good friends, John, Laurie, Greg, and Ellen Hynes came over to help us toast our birthday boy! (Greg is not pictured because a 1st birthday party is only fun for so long when you are 17. Apparently going out with his friends was more appealing...his 10 year old sister Ellen would disagree...she knows how cool we are!)

Harrison had his first cupcake and his first experience with something really sweet....he was a little unsure at first... He quickly became a fan....
I am not sure if he liked the taste or the mess of it more!

Wow! What a difference a year makes! He surprised us a few weeks early weighing less than 6 lbs but we have loved every minutes of this last year.
We love you very much and look forward to all the adventures you will bring to us in the next year and years to come!
