The photo session Tuesday afternoon went well. He did really good up until about the last half hour. We stopped for a bit so he could eat but after that he was awake and not very cooperative. He seems to usually get kind of fussy around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. We're not really sure why, but he just always seems to get a little work up around that time. We figure it's better then than in the middle of the night.
Sleeping is going well. The past three or four nights, he's only gotten up once. He usually goes down between 9:00 and 10:00 and then sleeps for four or five hours, wakes up, eats then goes back down for another four or five hours. It's about as perfect as it could be. I'm sure there will be nights to come cutting teeth or sick where we think we're going to loose our minds, but as long as he keeps this pattern up, we can't complain.
He had several "firsts" yesterday. DeAnne's mom came over and was going to take him over to Opp. First they stopped at David's for lunch then they ran by Wal-Mart to get DeAnne's grandmother an oil change. After that it was raining so much that they just came back to the house and canceled the trip to Opp. So first trip to David's (or anywhere out to eat) and first trip to Wal-Mart. Then last night, DeAnne decided that she felt good enough to go to church, so we took him to church with us. So that was his first church service. I was excited that his first time in church was when I was helping lead worship playing guitar. I can't imagine a better start than to set the precedent of Harrison's dad serving in a church service. He also got to sit in on his mom's small group session and saw her leading that. I hope DeAnne and I are always such an example for him to see.
Today is his two-week check-up and tomorrow he'll actually be two weeks old. DeAnne's excited just for the fact that tomorrow she'll be able to drive again. I don't think there's going to be much stopping her once tomorrow comes. The poor boy will probably not remember what it's like to not be in his car seat (I'm kidding, DeAnne). We're planning on taking him to church Sunday. I think it's pretty awesome that Sunday also happens to be Homecoming at church. My mom is brining Grandmother and Granddaddy down Saturday to meet Harrison. They've not had a chance to come down yet, so it'll be good to see them and let Harrison meet his Great-Grandmother and Great-Granddaddy. Have a good weekend.
