Catching Up

I haven't posted anything in a while so I have some catching up to do. Harrison is now 9 months old. He weighs 18lbs and 28 inches long. He is crawling, pulling up, and getting into everything! I guess that's his job right now and he is very good at it. Liz, Ben's sister, and her family were here for a week on vacation and we had a really good time with them. We have put in for orders to Yorktown, VA and should know October 3rd if we are moving there or not. We are keeping our fingers crossed for these orders. We are looking forward to moving back to the United States. This job would be something very different for Ben and he's excited about that. We will see if it's in God's plan for our family.

Here are some videos of Harrison:

Here's one of Harrison playing with the dog food. At first, he just played with it and now he puts it in his mouth. Right after I turned the camera off, he turned their water bowl over before I could get to him.

Harrison finally learned to clap on our way to Gibraltar on Saturday. He was so proud of himself! He has always liked clapping and now when he does it he just grins ear to ear.

Hope you enjoy! Love to all!

Harrison is mobile!

Harrison started crawling August 31th. This video is taken the first time he ever crawled so he's a little slow, but 5 days later he has it perfected!

Harrison and the sand

We went to the beach on Sunday afternoon and I took this video of Harrison talking about the sand. Sorry about my shadows in the video.

Haven't Posted in a while...

First Time at the beach

Sleepy baby

He wanted the camera

Hi! I haven't been on here and posted in so long so I figure I better. We have been doing great. I love staying home, most days, and I think Harrison likes it too. We try to get out and about so he doesn't get bored. He is now 8 months old. Time is flying by! He is sitting up by himself and now has his first tooth. He is so much fun and it's such a blessing to watch him grow and learn everyday! We took him to the beach for his 8 month birthday. He had a great time in his float riding the waves with his daddy. Of course after being in the water for just a bit, he has to take a nap. He does the same thing at the pool so I guess it just takes it out of him. Other than that, not much going on here in Rota. In September, we will start looking for orders to a new home. Hopefully it will be stateside, but I guess it will be wherever God wants to send us. We have enjoyed living in Spain and taking some great trips, but we are both very ready to go. Hopefully we will be in Gulfport, but we will have to wait and see! Here are some recent pictures of Harrison. Love to all!

6 Months

Harrison turned 6 months old yesterday and we had our check up with the dr. He now weighs 16lbs and is 25 3/4 in long. He is doing everything he is supposed to be doing. He has regressed on his great sleeping but hopefully I can get him back to sleeping all night. At least now I don't have to get up 4 times a night and go to work. Hopefully we will be home in about 3 weeks. Can't wait to see everyone!

Like a kid in a candy store...

Every year several of the college coaches from various teams visit military bases around the world. Well this year Tommy Turberville, Auburn's coach that just resigned, visited here in Spain and Ben got to meet him and talk football for a while. He was so excited. He also met Jim Tressel, Ohio State's head coach, and Houston Nutt from Ole Miss. Ben had such a great time.

Harrison in his jumpy thing

Here is a video of Harrison in his jumping johnny. I think this is his favorite thing to do for the time being.
