Happy Thanksgiving

Definitely not Harrison's best shot but a fun family pic nonetheless!

Doing his best impression of the cousins playing Wii Tennis - nice swing!

Checking out his new friend Pilgrim Barbie

Our Thanksgiving trip to Santa Barbara was waaay too short this year but we still had a great day with everyone at the Kopers!  Insanely good food and always such fun to be together.  Harrison had a ball and was on fantastic behavior, which always makes things that much more enjoyable!

Playing with Tyler

Harrison and I had a blast meeting Kelly, Brad and Tyler in Davis for brunch and some fun in the park.  The boys were all over the play structure and miraculously even stayed still for a few minutes to catch a picture!  We love when are friends are only a few minutes' drive away!

Cousins Thanksgiving in Sac

We celebrated Thanksgiving a bit early with the Nor Cal family.  Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he never quite woke up from his nap but Harrison was definitely being a little bit quieter than normal and in what I call "fake shy mode"...the child is so not shy so it's always funny when he tries to pretend that he is!  He ended up spending the afternoon rocking out to reggae in the backyard before attempting to sit down for some "Panda Bear, Panda Bear What Do You See" before bedtime.  He lasted about five animals before he needed to go check out the rest of the action!

Day at the zoo

Say what you want about zoos but we have so much fun every time we go to the Sacramento Zoo and are so happy to be members!  Harrison is at the perfect age for a quick zoo trip - he walks almost the entire time, enjoys trying to climb the railings, talks about the animals we see (okay, babbles but in my Baby Whisperer role I know what he is saying!) and has just a long enough attention span to cap off the afternoon with some climbing on the toys.  

I don't know if it's a coincidence but Harrison currently asks me to read "Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear" about 8 times a day so we always have a chance to talk about some of our favorite friends and remind H that the animals in the book who make such cool noises are the same ones we see at our zoo!
