Mohawk

Traeson's hair is getting so long, so the other night we were going over to our friend's house for a birthday party and I decided to try to do a mohawk in Traeson's hair. It already sticks straight up in the back anyway because he has a double callick (spelling?). so anyway, the results....

California

We went to California last week with my family. It was a very quick trip, leaving Tuesday and driving all through the night on Friday to get home early on Saturday...But I think we all had a good time. I wish Traeson would have been a little older so that he could have remembered it, but I'm sure one of these years we will go back.

On Tuesday night we stopped in Vegas and stayed the night. I got my first gambling experience. It was lame! I only played the slots and I thought it was pretty stupid, I don't know how people could ever get addicted to the slots. Anyway, then we got up on Wednesday and finished the drive into L.A. When we got to L.A. we went to the beach for the afternoon. Thursday we went to Disneyland and California Adventure land. That was a really fun day. Friday we went to SeaWorld, which was also fun. Weird thing though is that there was quite a few people at both Disneyland and SeaWorld, but SeaWorld seemed a lot more crowded. The longest we had to wait in line for a ride at Disneyland was about 15 minutes (with the exception of the Indiana Jones ride). But at SeaWorld there were just bodies all over the place, it was ridiculous! Anyway, after SeaWorld on Friday, we jumped in the vans and headed home. Like I said, very quick trip. But that's just how the Harrison's take vacations! It was a lot of fun though and we all had a really great time. Thanks mom and dad! (This was our Christmas present from them)

Here's a few pictures...

The three amigos in the back seat having a good ol' time!

Traeman chillin in the car seat.

Parker and McKendrick at the beach...they were both freezing.

Disneyland!

Traeson, Parker, and Emeree all tuckered out after Disneyland

Wearing our 3-D glasses for the A Bug's Life movie! Haha

This is how Traeson's hat looked the whole time. It would never stay on straight, so he looked like a thug!

He loved it on mine and Nate's shoulders.

Look at those cute teeth! (He has two top ones too, but they are just little)

Waiting for the Shamu show to start.

9 month stats

So, I took Traeson for his 9 month check up this morning. Not so good news, not bad, but not good. They are really concerned for his weight. At six months he weighed 15.5 pounds, today he weighed 15.75 pounds. He hasn't even gained a pound in 3 months. They're even more concerned because since he was 3 months old, he has only gained just barely over a pound. I knew he hasn't gained much weight, I was thinking at least a pound though, but I haven't been to concerned about it because I know that the boy can eat, and he doesn't ever stop moving. He's not behind developmentally or anything else, he just doesn't weigh enough. So anyway, I have to take him back in in 6 weeks to see if he's gained anything. The doctor told me to try anything I can to fatten him up, like putting butter on his veggies and stuff. So we'll try it and see how it goes, but I think he is just going to be a small kid, because I was always under weight. He hasn't grown much in height in the last few months either, but he is now 27 inches tall. So we've just got a tall skinny baby! That's ok by me!

Happy Halloween!!!

Random Pics of the Boy!

I'm a slacker...I know. There's been lots going on lately and not much time to blog or anything else. I was just looking through my pictures and found a lot of cute and some funny ones of Traeson. Just thought I'd post em!

I'm putting Traeson's hand and foot into our curbing that we poured around our lawn. He didn't like it and did not want to cooperate!

This is how it looked before I doctored it all up. Cute still, but it does look a lot better now after I've fixed it.

He's not very happy in these, but this is how I found him in the morning a couple days in a row. Just sitting there waiting for me. He was happy when I first walked in, but being the photo fanatic that I am, I had to run and grab my camera and when I left he started bawling. Sad :(

This is his cute skeleton outfit G and G Betts got him. I promised Julee I'd get a picture, and as you can see, he's still not happy in this one either.

He's become quite fond of the dishwasher. As soon as the door hits the floor, he crawls like a beast right over to it and tries to climb in.

There will be more to come soon! This next week we are going to California (Yay!) with ALL of the Harrison's. It's going to be a blast....Disneyland, SeaWorld, and the beach! I can't wait. I'll post pictures when we get back.

Traeson turns 9 months (gasp!) old in two days!!! It's going to be a sad day. Before I know it he will be a year old :( I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that!

Full Moon

These pictures of the moon are from a few weeks ago when we were camping down in the Bookcliffs. Nate took these pics for his Madre, and I think they turned out great! I love how you can see all the cool textures of the moon.

Of course they look better when they are blown up, but still cool.

Labor Day Fun

I know I'm a few weeks late with this post, but better late than never I guess. For Labor Day Weekend we went with the Betts' Family camping up to Hell's Canyon in Yellowstone. It was lots of fun! My favorite sister came up on Sunday and brought McKendrick up to play. He wasn't sure of the bumpy 4-wheeler trails at first, but then he decided he liked them. I think his favorite part was playing in the river though! That was Cheyenne and Jayden's favorite too!

Grandpa Paul cartin Traeson around.

McKendrick being a cheese-ball! But a very cute one :)

I thought this pic was funny cuz Traeson and I have the same look! I don't know what we were looking at but it must have looked weird by the looks on our faces.


Traeson playing on the table while we were trying to play dominos. Yes he does always get what he wants :)

Playing in his highchair....he loves that thing.
