People always talk about how fast babies grow and change, and we are certainly learning to appreciate that fact! Lately, it feels like we can almost watch Harrison grow before our very eyes. The most notable change has been his voice! He now utilizes a whole range of noises and we are having so much fun hearing and imitating these sounds. He is definitely "cooing," but he also has a slight giggle and sometimes even squeals. He especially enjoys it when Tom makes funny faces! He also likes to yell now, which is interesting. He is doing this now at times instead of crying, usually when he just wants to be held.
Harrison is really gaining strength, especially in his legs! He likes to push off of our laps when we hold him vertically and is able to hold his head up for more prolonged periods of time. But we are having the most fun watching Harrison start to take notice of the world around him. Whether it's his mobile (a big hit!) or just our goofy faces, he is so curious and wants to observe! He loves to look at ceiling fans and really enjoys his play mat that has various toys hanging down from above. We also have been reading books every night before bed. While he obviously does not understand the words, he seems to enjoy the pictures and just cuddling up with us before bed. He is very cuddly, by the way! He loves to nuzzle us and bury his head in our shoulder and chest.
Harrison is still eating and sleeping very well! He is going for longer periods of time at night in between feedings---last night he slept for 7 hours straight!!! We're still not on a very consistent nap routine during the day, but he definitely does not have his days and nights confused, which we feel great about!
Every day is an adventure with Harrison, and we can't wait to see what changes tomorrow will bring!

Yeah! He is so beautiful - it looks like he's a big of a redhead? I keep hoping one of our boys will have red hair, but so far no! He looks really big in the pictures. Jeremy and I think he looks almost as big as Brennan, who is now 4 months old!!! I can't wait to meet him. Not sure when the next Topeka trip will be...maybe not till Christmas. :( It seems like you guys are totally flourishing as parents and I am so happy for you.
