I love listening to this Baby Guy talk! His vocabulary has exploded over the past month!
He used to call Elizabeth "Sissa" (sister) but now? Now, he calls her "Guhl" (girl). It is so funny! I finally figured out why - when we call the girls for dinner or anything else, we call out, "Gi-irls!" and Elizabeth is without fail the first one to answer the call. Every time. So, apparently Harrison has decided that her name is no longer Sister, it is now "Girls". I love it! It makes her giggle, thankfully. I do try to get him to either call her "Sister" or whatever version of Elizabeth he can say - but no..."Guhl" it is. He is insistent. I'm sure some day in the store a total stranger is going to think I'm a horrible mother when I say, "Hey, Girl..." to her.
He has also decided that his blankie (a wonderful white flannel blanket with his name and birth stats embroidered on it - a gift from a friend in Houston) is now called "BeeBee." So, we are never without BeeBee and Ba. Ba is his little pillow.
The other night there were storms in the area. He climbed into my lap and said, "Mama. I 'kared. Nurt!" (Mama, I'm scared. I want to nurse). As he nursed I asked, "Does nursing help you not be scared?" I looked up at me and said, "Yup." [love the "yup" though I'm trying to teach him "yes ma'am/sir"] Such a sweet boy. Nurt is one of his favorite words. Six months ago I thought we were close to weaning. We're not.
And, since he's actually still asleep - I'm heading to bed while I can. We're about 30-45 minutes away from his usual wake-in-the-middle-of-the-night time.

Hey Gina! I didn't realize you had a blog! I loved reading Harrison's words. I love how he calls his sister "girl"=) Conner called Zack by, "Hey babe!" the other night when he needed him. It just cracks me up.
