15 months

It has been a whole 15 months since we welcomed our sweet baby boy. It has FLOWN by!

Harrison:
- is WALKING!!!!! He is still a little clumsy with it, but he is getting better and better.  He has new shoes and everything. I've been trying to get a video of him walking, but I get so excited when he goes, that the last thing I think about is getting my phone out.
- is talking so much!! Of course he has Da-dddeeee, Mama, puppy, bye (he has quite the southern accent with bye,) uh-oh and nommie down pat! He has also started saying "Jesie" for my sister. He sees her picture and points and says her name. Every day, he seems to have new sounds coming out of his mouth. I think always knew he was going to be a talker, but I think I'm in for a wild ride with his chattiness.
-weighs 25 lbs. He is in the 80th percentile (high again.)
- is 31 inches tall. He is in the 40th percentile. He seems to be getting higher in the height, but he's always been in the high percentile for weight.
- is becoming more and more independent. This is where I'm torn. I'm so glad that he is learning so much, but it means that he is growing in every way. He's not a little baby anymore. :(
- is in between 18 and 24 months in clothes. His top half seems to grown out of clothes a little faster than his short little legs. But lately, clothes have been his nemesis, as well as diapers. I have went in his room a few times in the morning and after his nap, and the kid is sans pants! We are going to work on this. Hopefully, it's just a stage.
- has kicked the bottle fully. I think I was having more of a hard time than Harrison was. Again, it meant that my baby was growing up. :(
- has 12 teeth!!! He has recently gotten all four of his one-year molars.
- he had his 15 month appointment this morning, and he did so well. Dr. Chandler said that he is growing very well, and he looks PERFECT!! He got four shots today. He had three vaccinations and I asked if he could go ahead and get his flu shot since we were already doing this shot deal. The last thing I want to do is take him up there to get another shot. He was so brave...a lot braver than Mama. We stopped by to see everyone at the office, and then came on home for him to sleep. He slept for a while, woke up, and fell back asleep later. I was reading him a book in the rocking chair, and he fell asleep. He NEVER does that! He loves to go to sleep on his own, and he has always been that way. The shots wore the baby out.

Today at his appointment!
Still loving his truck!

These are his sunglasses, which he only wears inside. He can wear them wherever though. He looks too cute!!

This was on Tuesday, his actual 15-month day!
Happy 15 months sweet boy!!! Mama and Daddy love you, love you, love you!!!

Turning 23...Again!!

No, I'm still not 23. Fooled ya, didn't I? :)  I turned 28 today, but I still like to think that I'm 23. Wishful thinking, right??
Sunday, we celebrated by going to Macaroni Grill with the family and David and Megan. It was a great time!! We had cake and gifts. Jeff and Harrison got me a set of pearl earrings. I LOVE them!! I haven't taken them out since.  I also got some gift cards, clothes, etc. I always enjoy doing birthday lunches with the whole family! Thank you again for all the gifts and coming to lunch guys!!

Notice Harrison's fake smile. :) That kid is hilarious!

This kid is pretty funny herself! Love her!!

After lunch Sunday, Megan, Harrison and I decided to catch one of David and Jeff's flag-football games. I caught this before it started.
I'm pretty lucky, huh??
Today, Harrison and I took it pretty easy. I decided to be lazy today since it was my birthday. This afternoon, we went to watch Reese at dance and went to eat afterward.  I loved spending the whole day with Harrison. He is getting more and more personality. I laugh almost the whole time with him. He has his 15 month appointment next week, so stay tuned for the update on the little guy!

Teeny's Baby Shower

Shay (Telena's good friend) and I started planning a baby shower for her a couple months ago. We wanted to wait until Reese was back from the Cape to make sure that she was there to share in all the excitement and festivities. Shay came up with the elephant theme because of Alabama. Yes, shocking, I know that it wasn't me that came up with it. Shay still says that she bleeds burnt orange for UT! The shower went great! The cake was adorable and tasted fantastic! Baby Pitts racked up on a TON of clothes and towels. He will be very well dressed and squeaky clean! :)
The cake!!


Teeny and Reese...big sister.




Reese was such a big helper!

Teeny and I have a tradition of giving each other the diaper bags for the babies. This was the new baby's!

Teeny only has about six weeks left, and then we get to meet the newest addition!! Can't wait!

Bama vs. Michigan

We were so ready for football in our house! Well, some more than others. I think Jeff's excitement compares to mine on Christmas morning.  Jeff had thought of having a small party for the first game of the season. Harrison stayed with Gammy. We had quite a few people. Jeff's roomy from college moved out here in August with his wife, Megan. So we have a couple more Bama fans out here to cheer with. We had so much fun and FOOD!!! I think I ate all night long. As you may remember, Bama won, so our first successful party is in the books!!! ROLL TIDE!!!
My chicken wrapped in bacon. This was the only pic of food that I got, but they were delish.
