Happy New Year!

First Christmas

It's our first Christmas with Harrison. As Harrison grows older, we look forward to his anticipation of Christmas and seeing the joy and excitment in his eyes as he opens his gifts.

Little Santa.

So Delighted

Harrison loves when we talk and sing to him, it always makes him laugh and smile.

Thanksgiving

This year, we spent Thanksgiving at the Rodriguezs' home.



Grandpa never smiles for the camera.


The Rodriguezs' are the best hosts! Look at the dessert spread.


Austin is great babysitter, Harrison falls asleep in his arms.



Uncle Eric plays the guitar for Jordan and Audrey.

Star Wars

The Bui's gave Harrison this Star Wars onesie because Harrison Ford's picture is on it, and Dad is somewhat of a Star Wars fan.  Not that I want him to, but Harrison looks so cute when he is crying.
Just to set the record straight, Harrison was not named after Harrison Ford!

Bouncy Chair

Paul and I were in serious need of newborn entertainment in order to distract Harrison long enough to get a meal in. After trying many different swings, Harrison seemed to tolerate this bouncy chair that Aunt Mary bought for him.  I love Harrison's pursed lips.

Relaxing with Dad and Rocky

I love this picture of Harrison, Paul and Rocky.  I especially love the content smile Harrison has on his face, everyone is just so relaxed.  My sweet little family.

Newborn portraits

Miss Janelle came to our house today to take Harrison's newborn portraits. Harrison was very cooperative, he was mostly asleep during the entire session.


Even Rocky boy steals a shot. He is a natural in front of the camera, who knew he was so photogenic.

Aunt Melody

Aunt Melody visits Harrison today.




Can't stay awake.

Six days old

Harrison spends most of his day sleeping right now so I have captured his many sleepy faces. 



I wonder if Harrison is having a good dream.
 



Ahhhh, life is good!



Such a sweet and peaceful baby, we feel the utmost responsibility to love, care for, and provide a life rich with experiences for little Harrison.





Let's take a nap.

Going Home

Three days at the hospital was just too long, we were so excited to take Harrison home!

Harrison in the nursery, waiting for the pediatrician to check on him so that he could be discharged. 
I took this through the glass window.  I felt bad to leave him there alone amongst the hustle and bustle of the nurses' station.


It was nice to be wheeled through the hospital and not have to walk. This was my second time in a wheelchair, first time was after getting my wisdom teeth pulled. 
 


Harrison is strapped into the car seat and ready to go.  He seemed so tiny and much too fragile for those big shoulder straps.



Grandma and grandpa were the first ones to come visit us at home.  Grandma is so excited to hold Harrison.  That's me in the background, still have the belly.


Sleeping peacefully in a bassinet borrowed from the Phan's. This will be Harrison's bed for the next two months.

Second Day at Hospital

Today is our second day at the hospital and we can't wait to take baby Harrison home.  The beds are uncomfortable and it's difficult to get any rest with constant interruptions. 

Baby Harrison is still swollen from birth. Since we had no mittens, we covered his hands with socks to prevent him from scratching himself.
Audrey and Jordan came to visit.  They have been anticipating the birth of their little cousin for a long time.  Dad sits on the floor to let Audrey and Jordan hold little Harrison.
