Passing Time

Harris is now 18 months old. Crazy! I just wanted to share some of the ways we pass time on a day to day basis. Harris loves playing with his toys. He is crazy about trucks, books, and balls. In this picture he is playing with Dexter the doll, that was Daddy's when he was a little boy. H-man recently discovered dolls. He is quite impressed with their noses and eyes!



Harris absolutely loves being outside. He would stay out all day every day if he could. Unfortunately, living in the Pacific Northwest isn't exactly conducive to that.....in the winter anyway. We do get out whenever there is a sun break though. Here Harris was enjoying mowing the sidewalk.




Friday is trash day at our house. This makes Friday a very exciting day. Harris LOVES the garbage and recycling trucks. When he hears them approaching, he runs to the closest window. He typically waves bye to them after they have collected the trash.


Last, but definitely not least, Harris loves to read. We read all day long. Some of Harris' current favorites are Goodnight Gorilla, Goodnight Moon, Little Pea (has always been a favorite in our house), Boo Boo, Knuffle Bunny, and Me With You. I love the Harris loves books so much. He will quietly sit and flip through his books several times a day. This isn't a long span of time, but maybe someday it will be. It is so nice to snuggle on the sofa and read book after book with my little man.

Tegu. Who?

Tegu? What in the world is that? Let me tell you my friends. :) My mom was watching the Today show and learned about these blocks made by Tegu. Tegu makes wooden blocks that are actually magnetic so all those little buildings and houses won't go tumbling down with the slightest nudge. Wonderful for those budding builders. Also, all of the blocks are made using eco-friendly wood. Even better! And I think it is really cool that you can donate trees through their website. They are actually so popular that they are not currently taking orders. So if you are like me, just keep checking the website until they are taking new orders. Just thought I would share a cool new product.

Hopefully we will have some updated photos of our latest and greatest for you soon!
