The many faces of Harrison

My Mom made this outfit years ago and gave it to me for Calvin to wear for Easter... 3 years ago! I was looking in the closet the other day trying to decide what Harrison should wear and I saw this cute outfit. I decided that it would NOT fit him come Easter time. I decided to put it on and take a few pictures...

What a beautiful baby boy! I LOVE his dark blue eyes! And I love, love, love smocking. It's a good thing that Harrison is a boy, because if he had been a girl... Nick and I would be in some serious debt from all the smocked dresses I would buy! LOL
Thank you Harrison for putting up with the many flashes and propping for my pictures! Oh yeah, this is Harry's JellyCat stuffed bunny! Isn't it cute! It's so soft and snugly. Harry's favorite part was his long, floppy ears!

Loving my Life

"Hello there"

(sorry about the drool... I know its gross, but he's just too cute!)
Sunday afternoon football... the Ravens put me to sleep too!
Napping with his frog blankie!
Twins!
Calvin loves Harry... can you tell?
There was a terrible thunderstorm last week and we let Calvin sleep with us... the boys ultimately took over the bed...
Love this boy!
Lazy mornings... my favorite!

Harry fell asleep during play time. He falls asleep on his own like this all the time. He is such a calm baby.

Can you see why I love my life?

Orioles Game!

Calvin has been dying to go an Orioles game all season! He was so excited to get all decked out and go to the game. He was especially exited to go because my Dad and Logan drove up for the game. Calvin had a fun night out with the boys! Harry and I stayed home and had a much need Ugly Betty Marathon! lol Oh yeah, Calvin thought that he WAS Cal Ripken all night! Nick read him a Cal Ripken book that night for bedtime and he kept pointing to pictures saying "that's me" and "yeah, I threw that ball"! It was hilarious!

My Orioles Boys!

13 days...

and this house is ours!

That's right! We bought a house! We just found out that everything it final and definite... this house is as good as ours!

I'm not one to brag but...
do YOU live in one of "America's best small towns"? Because, we will! This article is actually talking about the actual area that our new house is located! I can't wait to run everyday on the parkway and Calvin will be able to walk to his school which is two blocks away!
We are SO excited to move! Nick and I have been busy planning and packing!

The house was Nick's Grandparents house. We made an offer the day that it was put on the market and sweet Grandma Simmons accepted! We are thrilled and proud that we will be able to live in house so full of wonderful memories.

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!

Calvin reading Peter Rabbit to Harrison.

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!
