Feeding Daddy is so much fun!

I know all kids go through this but they're just not near as cute doing it as mine is, ha! Hooper is in this stage of wanting to feed us and he thinks it's the funniest thing in the world. So of course, we humor him with it.
Oh he get's so tickeled at his Daddy!

He's feeding him cantelope if you can't tell.

Every bite just gets funnier and funnier to him.

Now he's playing peek-a-boo with him.

Dee is such a trooper to eat off that tray, ha! What we won't do for our kids right?

Ladder Fun

While my Dad was here 2 weeks ago Hooper's heart balloon got caught up in the ceiling fan so Dee had to get the ladder out to rescue it. Well guess who fell in love with the ladder? He climbed and climbed. And let me first mention that we did NOT place him on any of these rungs, he mastered each and every one by himself. We were there to make sure he didn't fall and his Daddy taught him how to come down but that's it. This is pure independent, no fear Hooper!

Look how happy he is that he made it to the top!

Can you guess who dressed him this morning? Yes, his Papa!

The whole time I'm freaking out scared he's going to fall.

I love the smile on Dee's face. He's so proud of Hoop.

And check out this non-verbal communication between Father and son.

He's spotted the balloon and saying "boon."

I know that's a lot of pictures of one boy and a ladder. Oh well, you know me by now that I can't just take one or two photos of such cuteness!

At the park with Nana and Papa

As I mentioned the past two weeks have been quiet difficult in the Harris House to say the least. Last week we passed around the terrible stomach virus and the week before I started having small contractions with cramping and was ordered off my feet for a couple days, ugh! And guess who came to babysit? Papa...BOTH times! Praise God for parents who live so close and who love us so much!!!! And as soon as Nana got off work on Thursday she headed straight over too so she could help...and get some Hooper lovin'! Thanks again Mom and Dad, I have NO idea what we would do without you!!!

Here are some photos of two weeks ago when they came to visit and we took the boys to the park.
Notice how both boys are in matching bright UT (that's TN) orange? I learned this by watching Jon and Kate Plus 8. She said bright matching colors are easier to keep up with...and she was right!

Trying to decide whether they can make it up the dark tunnel slide or not.

"Let's give it a try at least!"

Hooper had Nana's full attention taking her through each piece of the playground.

William much prefered the swing to anything else. He stayed in it 99% of the time.

But NOT Hooper. That swing is too confining. This boy's got to be on the move all the time!

Poor Nana, she had to be exhausted after all this chasing!

You may wonder why there are not as many pictures of Papa? Well he was in charge of pushing the swing with William.

"weeeeeeee"

Up the "rock" wall he goes!

Hooper LOVES to look at airplanes. Nana found one and is pointing it out.

Sliding...again.

I thought this was too cute. As Papa pushed the boys by the metal fence they both would stick their hands out and let the rungs fling over them.

Nana "the photographer" grabbing some cute shots!

On the way home for a snack.

What a FUN day they had!
