Harrison's First Christmas :)

3 Months!
Wow time has flown by!
I have been a little slack with my updates, but things are going well!
Let's see...Harrison started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks (3 weeks ago). We are elated, as we are starting to feel "normal" again. That being said, I'm still up early enough to see that traffic in Atlanta is still moving (a little early for my liking, but I'll take it!). I started working a few days a week this December, and it's going really well. Granted, I'm not doing much, but I really have enjoyed getting back into physical therapy. I'm going to be working more regular hours in January doing home health pediatrics as well as working in the hospital. My mom is watching Harrison for now- we're trying to keep him home as long as possible. I'm not breast feeding him anymore (didn't make it very long), which I feel guilty about, but it is what it is.
I've decided to do a little monthly survey so I can keep track of things that are happening with little guy (because I'll forget if I don't write it down).
Weight: Little buddy is 15 pounds- he is huge and my arms are sore all the time! ...not that anyone probably cares, but mine is finally back down to normal-- I am very excited about this! I've worked really hard and am very proud of myself :) ....also, Chris appreciates that I'm not buying anymore clothes
Length: As of 8 weeks he was 25 inches-- not sure what has transpired in the last 5 weeks, but he is wearing 6 month clothes (and they fit perfectly!).
Pediatrician Visit: We went at 8 weeks and got a bunch of shots. It wasn't too terrible at the time, but the 2-3 days following were miserable. Dr. Weiss says everything looks good and he's growing nice and strong (and that he'll probably be pretty tall!). We go to see him again in 3 more weeks...for more shots :(
Milestones: He's been holding his head up for a few weeks, and is "talking" to me a lot during the day...Lots of "O" sounds. He is also starting to chuckle a little bit. He kind of laughed a few days ago for our friend Jill, but I have yet to hear a full on baby giggle. I can't wait :) He can roll from his stomach to his back, but not the other way yet (supposedly this will be around 5 months). I started putting him in his little jumpy chair for a few minutes- he loves it, but his feet can't reach. I prop them up with a pillow and he tries to bear weight a little bit. I am hesitant to do this a lot, even though he likes it, because I don't know that it's a good idea for his little knee joints....and I'm a bit of a hypochondriac?! :) Maybe??
Here's a few pictures from the past few weeks...
