The Harris Family

Toys and Tools

This past weekend my parents came in to help us out while we had our doctors visit. There is NO way we could do these appointments without them. They keep the boys occupied in the waiting room/hallways while we have our sonogram. Thanks again Mom and Dad!!!

Anyhow while they were here my Mom (Nana) grabbed some great pictures so I stole her memory card and got them!

As always Hooper conned them into playing outside with him for a while. They will throw the ball on the edge of the roof, let it roll back down and Hooper thinks it's hilarious! As you see he's trying to get one of them to do it here.

On his first Halloween I got this whistle and he's just now discovered it. Unfortunately it has made it to the sandbox. Nana decided to blow it for him and got a mouth full of sand. Poor Nana. She spit for an hour I think, ha!

What is Papa doing? It appears he's dancing around playing his tom tom and doing an Indian Dance. And check out the ring in his nose. What these two won't do for Hooper!

Hooper is NEVER bored when these two are around.

As all good grandparents do, they always bring him a surprise. This visits surprise was tools. Yippee! And he LOVED them. Check out his new drill.

Is this boy serious or what?

Love the sit'n spin used as a work stool!

Now for the "real" tools. Dee's diligently working hard on Hooper's "big boy bed" and Hoopers favorite thing right now is going out in the garage helping him.

"Here's a clamp dad."

It's really fun to lay in the saw dust. You can make really fun designs.

This is SERIOUS work for Hooper. It's not play time by any means!

Getting a smile out of him for a photo is impossible these days. I can't even get him to look directly at the camera anymore. But when he grabs my camera to play with it..he looks through the screen and says "cheese.'

Ok, I haven't been as good at this as I planned. Where does the time go? Here's me at exactly 5 months. After Friday's sonogram it was confirmed we are DEFINITELY having another wonderful little healthy BOY!!! Praise God!!

I have to steal hugs anymore...unless he's sleepy or weepy.

My Dad and Dee working hard on Hoop's bed.

I can't wait to see the final product. Dee is amazing at his wood working skills. What am I talking about...Dee's amazing at everything he does! I'm so blessed!

Tuckered out!

One day last week I was piddling around the house while Hooper and William were playing. Well William took a nap early that day, but Hooper was still playing in the living room. Then all of a sudden I noticed it was quiet. Usually this means he's into something he's not suppose to be into. So imagine my surprise when I found him asleep in the floor! He's NEVER done this !!! I guess he was tired!

We don't even have to look at the clock to see it's nap time anymore. By 11:00 he's ready for his nap! Schedules are such a blessing!

Not to worry, I did not leave him here. After I snapped a few photos I put him in his crib and tucked him in.

One non-related photo to the above set. He really knows how to hold my cell phone now. I'm sure he's talking to his Nana!

Ravioli Head

Does this need any explanation?

I think he could be the new face for Chef Boyardee!!!

This boy enjoys his food as much as his Daddy and Oga!!! Thankfully they're not near as messy, ha!

Playing in the bed with my friend William

One morning William and I went to get Hooper out of bed and I decided to let them play in his crib for a while. I'm trying to teach Hooper to share more so I thought sharing his bed was a good start.

Here William is giving "Bob" to Hooper. William has never sucked his thumb or taken a pacifier so this fascinates him!

I LOVE his face in this one! And yes, that IS a football pillow he sleeps with now.

I just hope he's broken of "BOB" before the NFL...or even college, ha!

He sits on William all the time and I can't figure out why!

Two footed pajamed sweeties!

Having William here has been such a huge blessing!!

Playing in the lid drawer..again!

Yes, I've posted pictures of him in the lid drawer before, but come on...how cute is this? Since Dee blockaded all the cabinet doors, Hooper's only fun now in the kitchen are the drawers under the oven. So let the fun begin! He gets all the lids out, climbs up, and dances and sings. Talk about having a good time! I'm really reconsidering buying him new toys for Christmas, ha!

I see the next American Idol in our midst!

He even convinced William that it was fun!

This boy has NO fear!

HELP!!!

I downloaded this crazy red Christmas template and it has taken over the blog and ruined everything. Can someone PLEASE show me how to remove it? PLEASE!!!

Papaw Time

Over Thanksgiving we were so blessed to have Mamaw and Papaw come for a visit. We had such a good time!!! One day Papaw was talking to Aunt Donna on the phone and Hooper had to talk to his favorite Aunt too!

One day the boys had some "garage time" and Hooper decided to show Papaw how good he was with the tools. Papaw said he saw him taking over his business one day!

Mound of toys!

Some days Hooper will really play well by himself for a while. Other days, not so much. But today was a good day and he really had fun!

This is one of his favorite toys. He plays with it over and over...and believe it or not, he can put the correct shape into the correct hole. My child is a genious! Thanks Connie Kay for the great toy!!!

And as most kids, he loves cell phones. So when I got a new one he inherited my old Treo. Not many 17 month olds have their own Treo, ha! He's going to be hi-tech like his Daddy.

HELP!!!

Ok...I'm usually pretty good with this stuff. But as you see, I've messed my blog page up and cannot fix it. Please if anyone knows how to take this template off, tell me! If not, I'll have to wait until Dee gets home and beg his help!
