Crawling, Pulling Up, A Stomach Bug, and a NEPHEW!

Avery has decided within the last 2 weeks to start crawling and pulling up.  She was sort of doing both right after she turned 8 months, but she is now a crawling/pulling up machine.  Definitely changed the dynamic of this Hardison home.  With a couple of containers of outlet coverings later, I still feel like there is some unknown hazard this little Nug can get herself into!  One day earlier in the week, she decided to pull herself up on the DVD holder and pull every single one down.. individually.  Too bad this OCD Momma then had to put every single one back... in alphabetical order of course :)

Getting into something!


Wednesday night after I got home from work, we noticed that Aves wasn't quite feeling herself.  An interesting diaper gave me suspicions, not eating most of her dinner all but confirmed it.. but when she "lost" all that she had eaten not 10 minutes after, it was definitive... our baby had the bug.  Yesterday was a struggle.  She was absolutely pitiful.  Felt too sick to fall asleep even though she was exhausted...her poor little red-rimmed eyes were so sad to look at!  I think we are coming out of the woods today.. She finally woke up without a fever, but her appetite is definitely not back yet.  Our baby girl normally LOVES to eat :)

Our sick baby yesterday!
But on to the best news of the week!  Our newest nephew is here!  William Alan Hardison (Will) was born Monday afternoon!  After a few hiccups and a trip to the NICU for a few days, this precious baby boy is finally going to go home today!  Will, we cannot WAIT to meet you at the end of this month!  We're so excited that you and Aves are only 8 1/2 months apart!  Oh what fun y'all are going to get into!  Sam, Avery, and Will are going to be good friends!

While he favors his big brother Sam who looks like J... The first thing M and I said when we saw his picture was "He looks like a Callahan!"  -K's side  Either way, he is adorable!
Cannot wait to get my hands on him!
