Quotable Quotes

For those of you who only read our blog via email, you miss out on our sidebar of "Quotable Quotes." So for now on, I think I'm going to post them first, then add to the sidebar.

So last night Andrew was playing a little Mario Kart Wii with Nate. Nate won the first round, then Andrew won the next. Nate was a little upset about losing and this is what followed:

A "You need to learn to lose sometimes."
N "YOU need to learn to MAKE me WIN sometimes." said in an angry voice which unfortunately just made Andrew and I laugh.

Ho Ho Ho

It just occurred to me that I hadn't posted ANYTHING from Christmas...
As Harris Family tradition dictates, here is our "Christmas morning on the Stairs" picture.
Yes, I even had Brandon in matching pj's. Thanks to Grandma Leah for making them bigger...I made them a few weeks before I knew I'd be having such a chunker!

As promised...

Just some fun pictures from Grandpa Hansen's visit...

1 month updates

Yesterday Brandon had his one month well check and we're happy to report all is well. I was a little shocked when we put him on the scale though. The nurse had me guess how much I thought he'd weigh...and I was way off when I guessed 11 lbs. (And I thought I was over doing it!)

Current stats:
weight: 12 lbs. 2 oz. 95 %
height: 23 in 75%
head circ: 15 in 50%

Looks like he gets to keep his "Moose" nickname a little while longer.

We had a great visit with Grandpa Hansen this last week and gave Brandon and name and a blessing at church on Sunday. We'll post pics once grandpa gets home and emails some pics. Thanks Grandpa!!

Brotherly Love

Brandon's Pictures

So now that Brandon is 2 weeks old, I have figured out how to sneak in a minute or two to post pictures. This is just minutes after he was born. I was definitely crying.

Proud Papa 3rd time over... I love watching these 2 together. They definitely have a special bond already.

Emma has been a SUPER big sister and LOVES to be called a "Big sister." She loves baby Brandon and is a great helper for mom.
Nate has told me several times that it is not my baby, but his. He absolutely adores Brandon and can't keep from touching him or talking to him. Although at times I am bugged by this and would prefer he leave the sleeping baby alone, I know these are moments to be cherished.
I don't know if its "3rd times a charm" or what, but I am LOVING this little guy and feel like as a mom I am figuring things out much more quickly with this one. He is so cute and cuddly. He is a sweet little guy that has brought much happiness to our home.

Baby Has Arrived!!!

Pictures will follow... but until then, we're excited to welcome Brandon Donald Harris into our family. He arrived Sunday at 12:44 weighing 9lbs. 1 oz.
