Harrison's Blessing

Nicholas blessed Harrison August 6. We had the blessing at my house right before Anna and Michael's wedding reception... it was a busy day for the Phillips'!


During all the fun and chaos, I forgot to take get a picture of the 4 of us after the blessing. It was a wonderful blessing by the way. It was nice to have so many family members in the circle. Thank you to everyone that was there to bless Harrison. And a special Thanks to Mom and Dad Albright for driving up to be there for his blessing. Harrison is very lucky to have so many worthy Priesthood holders to look up to.


This is the same blessing outfit that Calvin wore 3 years ago! Luckily Harrison still fit into the outfit the other day and I snapped a few pictures.









Nothing too fancy... but Harry is so sweet that he makes all the pictures look great!


Brothers!



Harry is HUGE! His 2 month appointment was last Friday and he was 14.4 lbs (83 %) and 22.8" (25%). When Calvin was 2 months he was 12.4 lbs (68%) and 24" (86%). Calvin was always tall and lean, but Harry is a chunk! He already looks longer to me though! He just keeps eating and sleeping and growing!


Speaking of sleeping... Harry has been sleeping through the night for 3 weeks now. He goes down about 10 pm and doesn't wake me up until 530 or 6am! SOOO nice! So far, Harry is proving to be the worlds best baby! He hardly ever fusses, and when he does he usually wants to eat or sleep.


And Calvin is the worlds best big brother. He ALWAYS wants to hold Harry and play with him. The other day in the car Harry was crying and Calvin said, "Mommy, Harry needs me!" What a sweet boy!

Jelly Bean

Calvin LOVES to be next to his little brother! He is always asking to hold him or snuggle him. He is such a good big brother!

Harry found his thumb...
and then he fell asleep!

You know that cute stretch that babies do, when they arch their backs? Well Rachel says it makes them look like a jelly bean, so


after calling him a jelly bean baby a few times it just kinda stuck! Thanks Rachel! LOL!

Here he is... my Jelly Bean baby!

Isn't he getting big?!?!

His 2 month appointment is this Friday... can't wait to see how big he is!

The porch...

This was our project this summer... to have the porch ready for the wedding. We spent several hours for several days scraping the paint. I'm not going to say that it was fun, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I love that house and my family.


Calvin even helped a little!
Harry joined the fun one day... the loud noise kept him quiet for a while.





just listen to how noisy we were...

La Cocina!

It's a MUST to go to La Cocina when we are in Roxboro! Best Mexican food around!



Happy Birthday Anna!



Anna let Calvin try on the birthday sombrero!



Calvin and Logan...




Logan brought Calvin out to the car and Calvin asks "Logan, can you come to my Gramps house?" So sweet! We convinced him to come and they wore each other out!

Roxboro!

What a sweet baby! I was SO excited that this little sailor suit finally fit! Isn't it adorable? I know that his head is all crooked and weird, but he has a little smile and I couldn't resist!


BEST FRIENDS!

Calvin looked so comfortable!

Brothers!



Every one wanted to hold Harry! He was in heaven!

Anna and Harry Aunt Ruth could put him to sleep every time she held him!




Mindy! "Babies kinda rock my world!"

Good food!

"Precious!"

Calvin fell asleep while coloring!

Unfortunately my camera died and I didn't get pictures of the wedding, but Nick took this one on his phone... it was a LONG, humid, morning!
