5 Months Old

Wow!  Another month has flown by (Wed, Dec 21), and now Harrison is 1 month away from his half birthday.  This is just crazy!  We haven't had too many big changes this month.  Harrison is becoming more social, and he has found his voice.  He loves to squeal!  It's pretty funny and cute.  He tends to be very talkative at night when Mommy and Daddy are ready for bed.  He will lay on his back, kick his feet, and squeal/talk.  Daddy and I can't help but laugh...even if it is 1am and we have to work the next day.

We visited the doctor this month due to Harrison having his first ear infection (R ear) and some chest congestion/respiratory issues.  So, Harrison has now been introduced to antibiotics and breathing treatments.  He did very well with both forms of medication, and we are very happy to say he is better and done with taking those meds.  Currently we are experiencing some sort of rash that randomly appears on his body and randomly disappears...:/  Hopefully this issue will resolve soon.

This weekend we are packing up and heading to Harrison's Granna and Grandad's to celebrate CHRISTmas!!
