Tennessee Part 3

These pictures actually go with pictures from Part 2, but oh well. When you have THAT many pictures it's hard to get them all on one blog.

I may have mentioned it before, but Hooper LOVES pillows! When he's crawling past one he must stop and lay his head on it, even if it's just for a second or two. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen! Check out those dimples...even with his "BOB" in. (Bob is his pacifiers name)
Oh, soft pillow!
He was mezmorized by this pillow for some reason. Maybe because of the fun animal prints.
Does it get any cuter than this?
Oh it must be the button he's mezmorized with.
Ok, you have to be a dedicated Hooper blogger to tolerate the next section....I've tried to narrow the pictures down but it's just so hard when Mommy thinks they're all TOO CUTE to not put on here!

The boys were headed fishing one day so they had to prepare the boat. Dee brought Hooper out (still in his jammies, yes) and of course Hooper fell in love with boating!

He's a natural!

Who needs water to drive a boat?
Proud Daddy and Mamaw!

He can drive sitting down or standing up. Now that's talent!

Watch out world! Here he comes!
It's a little harder to drive when you're sitting in the big boys seat!
I think we've found his calling.
Is this a happy boy or what?
His first passenger...Gibson.

Wait a minute...Gibson is driving.
Hmmmm....I guess Hooper got co-pilot duties.
On to the fish net.
Ahoy Mates!

That fun Aunt Donna playing Patty Cake with Hooper.

Yes, out of order again...Ugh Blogger!

Papaw found a fun hat for Hooper to wear.
He looks so much like Humphrey Bogart here!
Nothing like a tongue waving in the wind.
Looks like Mamaw has that magical touch of putting Hooper to sleep. What a combination...Mamaw and the swing. Works every time.

Craig giving me the Chester Cheetah smile.
This kid is amazing on the guitar. What talent!!!
More of Aunt Donna playing Patty Cake.
Once again a ton of pictures in the same setting, but he's just too adorable! Papaw has him in the back of his old red truck and Hooper's loving it!!!

Does this look like the face of a happy boy or what?

Peek a Boo!


Now these two are a pair! I'm not sure who enjoys playing with whom the most!

On this trip Hooper developed a new look.

After another hard day of playing, a boy must have another sink bath!
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Tennessee Part 2

On Saturday of our trip we went to Craig's Graduation. Hooper did not make it through the entire graduation ceremony sitting with the whole family but at least we started out and ended with them. His favorite seat...Aunt Donna's lap! He eats these little crackers called Mum Mums all the time. I don't even want to begin to think about life without MumMum's!
Here's Craig getting his diploma.
Sorry they're a little blurry but we were sitting a little far back and had to zoom in.

As always a picture of Uncle David's head.

Here's Craig with his other Grandparents and his Mom.
Craig's Mom and him. I think she's mighty proud!
I kept trying to get a picture of the toy boys with Hooper wearing Craig's Graduation Cap but Hooper wanted nothing to do with it!

The gentleman on the right is Dr. Wheeler. Dee had him when he went to Cleveland State and now Craig had him. He's such a sweet man! And he survived teaching two Harris'!
Craig with Dad and the Harris Grandparents.
Ok I know I'm posting two pictures of Craig with Dee and Heather, but I just could not resist this funny one of Craig!
Craig with his parents!

Hooper thought the most interesting part of Graduation was the Ping Pong table in the party room.

Sorry, Blogger will not let me move pictures again, ugh! Here's Craig trying to get Hooper to wear his cap again. Wow what fun this table is! 10 months old and already hurdling!


"I think I'll just crawl over it!"

Another great shot of Craig!

Finally he wore it!
"Ping Pong anyone?"

Back at Mamaw and Papaw's Hooper is busy working on another obstical course.....under the chair.

Boo!Papaw and his boys sharing his chair. Too bad Craig's too big to sit with them!Hooper loved playing ball with Gibson. "Come on Gibson, come get it."
Gibson was so good with him. Thank God!
"See the ball...."
"Do you want it?"
Finally Hooper moved on to his own toys. Mamaw and Papaw bought him a new ball to play with. One his own size that he didn't have to share with Gibson. Oh how he loves balls!

Mamaw loved playing ball with him too!
So handsome!

Notice Gibson watching patiently.

Hooper is definitely in the "exploring" stage of his life. Someone please tell me how long this stage lasts....it's wearing me out!!!

I mean who would ever see this table and say..."let's see if I can go through the bottom of it?"

I made it!!!

Gibson has found a new snuggle place at Mamaw and Papaw's. He loves to sit with Papaw in his recliner. Is this relaxed or what?I think Papaw's enjoying him sitting there too! That's it for Tennesee Part 2. Only one more section to go and I'll be completely caught up with this trip. It was only a month ago, ha!
