Harry graduated to the big boy tub! weeeee! He's really not sure what to make of it. I think, in time, he'll like it just fine :)




"you're freakin' me out daddy"





Let go!!! any day now...



My thoughts exactly

First --- I want to say thank you to all of the nice comments on my last post. Yesterday I was having a slight mommy freakout. I'm doing better today :)

Since Harry can't play with his puppies, he has to settle for second best (just for the moment since we all know he'll grow out of his doggie allergieS!!!! right??!). Second best is watching "dumb and dumber" through the glass of the front door.


Puppies where are you?



There's one..



Mack still gets jealous of Harry, even through the glass. wierdo.



Gandalf says "why is he yelling at me??!!!"

I don't usually don't go into all of the struggles, tears and frustrations that accompany having a highly allergenic child with eczema. But lately the stress of dealing, just with the daily acts of living life, have become overbearing. It's draining. I spend a good part of every night after Harry goes to bed just crying my eyes out. I've been told he'll grow out of this and so I guess that is what keeps me going at this time.

Today about an hour after Harry went in for his nap I heard some ruckus, a lot of "singing" and a bunch of "dadddadaddaaddaaas" and entered his room to find him playing with his friends in his crib. So cute. I guess I have to look on the bright side, I certainly have a happy, smart child who amazes me every single second he is awake. :)





"hmm.... how did that monster get into my crib?"



"Please. Get. Him. Out." Harry did NOT like Cookie monster all up in his crib. werd.

It started out like any other beautiful hike through Ireland... and then something happened... that something was MOTHRAAAAAAAAAAA yes, mothra nearly took Molly's eye out and that was just the beginning.



It was right around this point in our adventures where we stopped to sing the ringtone song... that is such a great song.. it made me all misty eyed.





Ceelelllbrrattionn STATION!!!! DIRT



I found the all seeing eye!!









Molly didn't remember what time it was... or what time it will ever be... or something,



Then we saw a life jacket.



CULLTTT KILLLERRR mooothtthttrarraaaaaa weeeeeeeeeeeee!

A beautiful Sunday morning calls for a hike through the desert with Harry and the pups.
It's a rare scene.... so much green. Very very pretty!!!




This is actually the first time we all got out for a hike since Harry was diagnosed w/ pet allergies. It was very fun for everyone, especially tae, gandalf and Mackie mack.



Harry thinks his puppies are SO funny. I guess they are!



Hiking always tires Harry out!





Fascinated by the dangling gems...



I tell ya, I must have taken 30 pics of Harry crawling and only a handful got clear... he is just too quick to snap a shot.
