This has been a great week and I just had to share all we've done. Actually we haven't done that much but the boys have just been too cute and sweet. Lots of photo opportunities this week!

Neyland graduated from the sink to the bath tub and he really likes it. Anytime he's fussy you can give him a bath and he immediately relaxes. He must get his love for baths from me!
He's really starting to smile more and more. Although this is not a true smile, it's a very peaceful happy face on him. Smiles are very hard to catch on camera at this point...but I'm not giving up.
The major undertaking of the week is our bathroom. We've been needing to remodel it for 4 years now and well...there's no time like the present. Here's my Hercules with his sledge hammer starting our remodel.
Hooper thinks this is the funnest thing in the world. Tools and demolition. Every little boys dream!This week he's really began saying the word "hammer" clearer and clearer. It's so cute. On that note, he's really become a chatter box this week in general. Night before last Dee dropped something and said "uh oh Spaghetti O's" and Hooper repeated it back verbatim. It was hilarious! The funniest thing he's saying right now though is "chicken fried." It's a popular country music song on the radio for those of you non-country fans, ha!
One night when Dee came home Hooper decided to wear his daddy's shoes. Man oh man are those big shoes to fill! I hope and pray he'll be as wonderful of a husband and father as Dee is!
Before we go to bed everynight I go in and check on Hooper. Mainly to cover him up again as he just cannot keep covers on him. Anyhow this is how I found him. Using Mickey as his pillow. Too sweet!
Yesterday when he got up from his nap he came down the hall carrying his HUGE pillow. He put it in the living room floor and headed back down to his room. He returned again with his comforter. Before it was all over he had his pillow, comforter, Ike the dog, Mickey and his HUGE Teddy Bear all in the floor. He layed there playing on his pallet forever! It was one of those moments you want to capture in your mind and never loose! He and I layed there playing "pallet" for probably close to an hour and I LOVED every second! Neyland was asleep so I got some really sweet Hooper time. (before Hooper woke up I had really sweet Neyland time alone too) It was just one of those afternoons that Mommies cherrish! So much so that at 4:45 I finally looked up from playing with the boys and realized I had not even began to think about supper. Thankfully my wonderful husband came to the rescue and took us out to dinner. 
One of Hooper's latest obsessions is pulling things (anything) up to stand on and observe what ever is going on. No matter if it's in the kitchen, the Pack'N'Play, objects on the bar, whatever..really anything he's NOT suppose to be into, he's finding ways to get them. To be honest, it's exhausting! I'm running out of hiding spaces for things, ha! By yesterday I was tired of telling him to get off the step stool and his chairs that go with his little round table so I put them in the garage thinking this would solve this problem. Well this problem solver wasn't even phased. He went up to the playroom and came back with his picnic table. Ha, jokes on me I guess! Here he's watching Neyland in his Pack' N'Play....again!
He moved the picnic table to the kitchen and found our keys. I noticed he grabbed them and ran to the play room. Scared he was going to "hide" them and they'd never be found again I followed him. Much to my surprise this is what I found. Him putting the keys IN the hole where the ignition switch should be. Mind you we've never showed him this and he ALWAYS sits in his car seat which is directly behind the drivers seat in the van, so I have no idea how he "knew" to do this. Smart kid!
Just look how perfectly he placed the keys. I just now noticed too that it's even the right key...the van key. Now how did he know that?
And finally, today I caught these precious pictures of Neyland taking a nap in his baby bed. This week I've been trying to get him use to sleeping in his room as opposed to sleeping in his crib that's in our room at night, or he usually sleeps in his Pack'N'Play or his swing during the day. Soon we're going to transition him in his room full time, so I thought I'd try to get him (and me) acclimated to it.
Is this a precious innocent face or what?
Life is GOOD at the Harris house!
