The Next Biggest Loser Contestant

Weighing in at a whopping 18 pounds 14 ounces, Harrison is the front runner for the chubbiest kid on the block.  The rolls are endless and he is rapidly outgrowing his clothes.  

At his 4 month check-up, the medical student who examined him asked "WHAT are you feeding him?"  implying that it must be french fries and ice cream!  Nope, he's just a fat and happy kid.  In fact, when people ask how Harrison is doing, my usual reply is "he's fat and happy."  Other than being a ginormous baby, he is healthy and meeting his milestones.  This past week, we have been attempting to feed him rice cereal.  He still doesn't quite have the hang of it, but he doesn't do too shabby.  He is a "chatty Charlie" and is now recently interested in watching Dakota, the dog. Dakota, on the other hand, is more interested in licking the leftover cereal off his face!  

Harrison and I are headed to Indiana this week to visit Jen and Micah, Brittany and Griffin, and family.  We are flying, which I am sure will be interesting, but traveling 6 hours with an infant alone didn't sound any more appealing.  Wish us luck!  Brian has already made plans with friends to have sushi-- I call it his "man date."  

More so than ever, we are looking forward to moving to Alabama this summer.  This Wisconsin winter is a bit chilly... tomorrow (with wind chill) the temperature will be -42!  Although I am sure this summer I will be wishing for temperatures less than 100 degrees!

That's all for now!

What a cutie pie!! He is growing up so fast! Living in Alabama sounds pretty darn good right now, this weather in the midwest is awful! Are you moving there after Brian finishes residency? I bet you guys are getting excited, I always thought it seemed like Travis was "in school" forever!

Harrison is adorable - fat babies are the cutest! Of course I am a little biased since Ben was rockin' the 97th percentile back in his prime! Where are you moving to in AL? You are going to love winters here in the South. It is getting harder and harder to imagine moving back to IL in 2010!
