One has to go all the way back to March to find our last post with pictures. We've got a new memory card reader, so there's a lot of catching up to do. We spent Easter weekend in Howards Grove with the Franz family. Here's the family with Harrison doing his best to wiggle out of the photo.
Harrison is a total ham for the camera. Craig asked him if he wanted his picture taken and this is the result of that.
We went up to Howards Grove again a few weeks after Easter when Aunt Carol and Uncle Alex were visiting from Washington, D.C. Harrison had a great time sitting and playing out in the Franz family beer garden. Unlike some other cousins of his, Harrison exhibits no fear of his Grandpa Pete.
A few weeks back Grandma and Grandpa Corsten came to visit. We went to the Milwaukee Public Market for lunch and then headed over to the Lakefront Brewery where Grandma and Grandpa were forced to drink beer with flavor.
Since we're moderately cheap we don't like turning on the air conditioning. Harrison loves running around the house in nothing but a diaper when the heat gets to be too much. Fortunately for him he can pull off the look. He's sitting in his cool new rocking chair Laura found him to match the farm decor of his new bedroom (more on that later).
Harrison no longer uses the tray on his high chair and sits at the table like a big boy. He also eats his yogurt very carefully.
Craig went to a weekend of Brewers' games in Milwaukee a few weeks ago, so Aunt Lizzie came up with Ben and Abby and the crew went to the Farmer's Market in Madison and over to the Vilas Zoo. Harrison enjoyed it even more this time as he's starting to "get it."
With a new baby on the way, we decided it was a good idea to get Harrison into his new bedroom as soon as possible. Since he loves barns and animals, Laura painted his room in a farm theme with some cute animals on the wall. He loves it.
Over Memorial Day weekend we went "camping" with the Franz family in Portage. Harrison got all scraped up from falling on the gravel and wanted nothing to do with the pool (see what I mean by "camping"). But we found out he loves squirt guns and water balloons.
While camping we took a day trip to Wisconsin Dells to ride the Ducks - those amphibious vehicles that tour the Wisconsin River. Harrison slept pretty much the whole time. He wasn't very interested.
Harrison spent most of the camping weekend following around and imitating his cousin, Ben. Ben was pretty much oblivious to it. Ben's a pretty good kid, so we suppose Harrison could do a lot worse than imitating him.
Finally, Memorial Day marked Harrison's first night in his big boy bed. He went right to sleep and slept through the night, save for two falls out of the bed. We're working on finding a rail that will fit his strange bed, but it's a pretty small fall to the floor. So it makes a pretty loud bang when he falls out, but the bark is worse than the bit.
