Ahh Parenthood

Ahh, the joys of Parenthood. You know you are sleep deprived when one night you have baby spit up all over you and you would rather sleep than take a shower. Or have you ever been woken up by a stream of pee in the face? Yep, I have. Last night as I was sleeping, Scott decided to change Harrison's diaper in our bed. And of-course he likes the cold air and I got shot in the face. Again, you must be sleep deprived to not care. For those of you that aren't parents, these stories are kind of gross. Those of you that have just had children or remember what it is like at the infant stage know exactly what I am talking about.

Harrison is a very strong baby. He is only one week old and already trying to hold his head up to look around. Every day, he looks more and more like his brother, William. Well besides the hair. Harrison has more hair now than William does.
It is not easy trying to take a picture of the whole family and staying still :)

Is this William's bed or Harrison's?



When Grandpa Payne first got here, William was deathly afraid of him. I think it is the mustache. After an hour he was done with the screaming though. Now they are inseperable. "Pa Pa Pa" has taught William a few things (waving, making funny noises with his mouth, etc). William also started calling him "Pa Pa Pa." Grandpa and Grandma Payne leave today and I think William is going to have a really hard time with them leaving. He really enjoyed playing with Nana and being Pa Pa's right hand man. It is so nice to have family here but it is really hard once they leave. We love living in Utah but we miss Missouri so much at times like these. And no we will not be having another child next January as an excuse to get family to visit :)
