A delicious meal

At Harrison's doctor's appointment last week we got the go ahead to start feeding him some rice cereal. Early results are mixed. You can sort of tell in the video, but Harrison frowns when he gets a spoonful and then he usually puts his hands into his mouth and a big mess ensues. It's fun.
At Harrison's appointment we learned that he's pretty much stayed right on course with his height and weight. He weighed in a 16.3 lbs, which is 79-77% for weight and was 26.5 inches, which is 93% for height. In other words, he's a tall kid.

We spent last weekend at the Franz homestead and had a nice time despite the snow storm. We went to the Fire Department's Brat Fry, where Grandpa Pete won four bottles of Kessler's Whiskey. Yum. I guess. The picture above is Harrison sitting in Grandpa Pete's chair that he enjoyed when he was a little guy.

Just a cute picture of Harrison to wrap things up. He really likes that blanket.

Kind of a hand man

Harrison is now 100 percent, completely and totally obsessed with his hands. It's crazy. Happy, inserts hands into mouth. Sleepy, puts hands in mouth. Hungry, puts hands in mouth. It's kind of cute, but it's difficult to get him to do much on his tummy, because he goes "Oh, there's my hands. I think I'll put them in my mouth."


Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Phil came to visit last weekend and we all had a good time. They watched Harrison Friday evening, so Craig and Laura went out for a nice dinner in Madison. On Saturday we took a trip to the Mitchell Park Domes. There were lots of pretty plants and such, but all in all, they were pretty underwhelming.

Later in the day, Aunt Jessica came over to visit and we ate a delicious meal of BBQ ribs. Jessica was not overly fond of Harrison early on since her first attempt at babysitting him did not go well. But it seems he's really growing on her now that he's more "interactive."

Harrison is still growing and eating like crazy. Pooping has also become very regular (YES!). He was occasionally sleeping until 6 in the a.m., but is waking up earlier than that as of late. The nice thing about that is, instead of screaming when he wakes up, he makes these cute high pitched squeals at minute intervals. It's much easier to mix a bottle when Harrison isn't screaming at you.

Random photos

Captured on camera....the LOCH NESS MONSTER....not really

Not really, but what we do have is video of Harrison laughing.

Picture Pages

Because we hear complaints from grandparents if photos are not frequently posted...and because we have no good stories to tell this post will consist entirely of photos.
