Harrison turns FOUR MONTHS today!!! I literally cannot believe it! Since my sister is an awesome photographer (check out her website here!!!), she came over and took Harrison’s 4 month pictures on his blanket and a few extras. He got really excited talking so you’ll see all of those pictures at the end with his mouth open haha!
This month has brought so many changes with Harrison! We’re starting to really see his personality more. He’s really gotten into a groove with a schedule (for the most part), and obviously, he’s staying awake longer throughout the day. He also learned how to roll from his tummy to his back this month!
The big thing this month was moving him out of the bassinet next to my side of the bed and into his crib (insert me crying). He has done such a good job sleeping at night and napping during the day in his crib that he actually prefers napping in his crib during the day. I tried getting him to take a nap on his boppy on my bed while I was getting ready one morning (like he used to do) and he fussed until I put him in his crib–where he immediately went to sleep! It hurt my feelings a little that he preferred that haha!
He likes…
-babbling
-his play mat (and more specifically, the fox)
-his lovie bunny
-being able to see his Momma
-his Daddy talking to him
-bath time
-sucking on his hands
-being held where he can see everything
He dislikes…
-being hungry
-wearing something that’s too big (I learned that the hard way ha)
-anything that interferes with his nap time 😂😂
-taking the bottle out of his mouth to burp him
You’ll notice in the rest of these pictures that Harrison isn’t looking at the camera–he’s looking at me! I stood next to my sister and talked to Harrison to try to get him to smile, and instead, he “talked” back haha!
I know I sound like a broken record saying this, but I cannot get over the fact that God chose me to be Harrison’s momma. Being his mother is more than I ever could have imagined it would be. So many people tell us how blessed Harrison is to have us as his parents, but it’s really the other way around. WE are so blessed to have him as our baby, and it’s only because of God that he is. Dustin and I have just gone back and talked about how if this didn’t happen or that didn’t happen then we would never have been in the position to find out about Harrison. And I just go back and think about in the days after the first birth mom changed her mind and decided to parent her baby, I was just devastated and angry, and my mom gave me a card with the verse “For nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). I distinctly remember telling her, “Well, I feel like it is right now,” because I was in such a hurt place. Not five days later did we receive pictures of the most beautiful newborn baby I had ever seen in my life–our son. Oh, how I get chills thinking about how God was working even when I couldn’t believe it.
Okay, enough rambling…now onto pictures of Harrison!
