Spring Break 2014!

The only way I could make it back to work was to count down the days until Spring Break 2014. An entire week home with Harrison was exactly what I needed. Nick also took Thursday and Friday off so we were excited to get some extra family time in!

#SpringBreakSelfie

Our biggest plan for Spring Break involved Harrison and sleeping. Since birth, Harrison had been swaddled up, rocked to sleep, and put in his Rock-N-Play sleeper. Since Mom had a week off AND Harrison wouldn't stop rolling, we figured this week was best to transition Harrison to his crib. We worked on teaching Harrison our new sleep routine: bedtime story, song, no swaddle, and being put awake in his crib. He wasn't too thrilled to say the least. He quite enjoyed when Mom and Dad did the work for him. The first night was really rough. However, by the second night he was rolling over and falling asleep on his own! Nap time is a little rougher but we are getting there :) Harrison loves sleeping on his side and belly. He currently also enjoys sleeping face down on the mattress and giving Mom and Dad a heart attack. With time, he eventually figures out it is more comfortable moving his head to the side. (Since his head control is so strong, we don't need to worry about the fact that he flips to his belly.)

Such a big boy sleeping in his crib now!

Harrison also got sick over Spring Break. Yes, we've had a cold in the past but this was Harrison's first time getting really sick. He threw up 5-6 times on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, as soon as he was doing being sick, he was all smiles. He also had no fever. We still aren't sure if it was a stomach bug or just an irritated stomach from the congestion he had been having. Either way, it was not fun! Mom only called the doctor a few times.... :) My how times have changed, spring breaks in the past included lots of shots. Spring Break 2014 included shots...of Pedialyte!

Harrison also got to experience his first March Madness. Dad was excited to have him fill out a bracket. Harrison predicted quite a few upsets in the first round. We are really kicking ourselves for not entering his bracket into lots of pools! We also went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch some games. Harrison was so stimulated by the 100+ TVs that he passed out the entire time. 

"No, Harrison. That's Daddy's bottle." (No worries, he did NOT come close to getting it!)

Party Animal! Spring Break 2014!

While there were some bumps along the way, we quite enjoyed spending so much time with Harrison this past week. Needless to say, I am NOT ready to go back to work. 11 weeks until SUMMER! (Having a baby really makes me appreciate a teacher's schedule!) Not like I'm counting or anything ;)
