Crawling is something to yell about

Harrison has been trying for weeks and weeks to crawl. He's been crawling backward since the beginning of December, and has been getting up on his hands and knees since the beginning of January. Here is is the beginning of February and still no crawling. He just can NOT figure this thing out, no matter how much we encourage him and help him out. While in Arizona we made some serious progress... or something like that.

Since traditional methods weren't working, Harrison has decided to create his own way of getting things done. He is now a little jumping bean - not moving an inch forward or backward, but looking pretty darn cute trying to crawl.



Harrison's favorite past time is yelling. We had to post this video for you to get a little taste of what we listen to all day long. I know it sounds like he's on the verge of a breakdown, but really he's not! He just likes to scream. A LOT. You can see him a few times start to laugh and smile in between the yelling.

This is not just when he's on his tummy. He yells at his toys, he screams at his dinner, he yells at his blankie, he screams at his binkie... He's not mad. Just... well, yelling. He likes to hear his own voice. He will yell until he gets your attention and then smile the cutest smile you've ever seen when you look at him. Oh yeah, then yell some more.

Maybe being around so many extra kids at Christmas made Harrison realize he needs to yell for all the attention now! I love how he gets so frustrated when he can't move anywhere!

Hey! Eliza likes to yell too! Sometimes we think she is getting cranky, but then she smiles and we realize she is just discovering how loud she really can get. The videos are great - keep em coming!

I think we should take Rex to go see Clyde and Seymore!
