Busy Times

So it has been another busy couple of weeks here...I know I say that with every post, but it is just true!

The boys have continued to bond...
Harrison is still perfecting the crawl...
And growing out of clothes faster than I can get him into them...This is a favorite from Grandma...The hat adds a little something to the shirt, I think!
Such a happy boy!
The boys wrestling...at this point we have to pose these pictures, as Harrison can't quite get up onto Michael...but it is a good glimpse of my (very near) future!!!
Michael got to enjoy an apple...I think it is still out in the yard somewhere!
On May 22 we took Harrison to the cardiologist for the preliminary check-up (the same thing we did with Michael at this age). The doc said his heart and lungs sound great and he was a little too busy to do an echocardiogram without sedation. Since David's condition will likely not affect the boys until puberty (if it affects them at all), and since Harrison's heart sounded fine, the doc decided sedation would not be necessary and we would wait to do the echo until he was about a year old. So that was good. They weighed and measured him, and I guess our system is pretty close because here are the stats from that day:
Height: 27"
Weight: 17# 10oz
So, he is still a happy, healthy boy!
What a grin!
TEETH!!! Still only two...but I think we are getting close to having one on top, too...
Cuties...
Drooly...
Getting the big bro's shoes...
Sheniah went on a student council trip last weekend...I think it was a little exhausting, because this is how she spent the last of it!
Harrison is starting to like eating a LITTLE better...he has now had (in addition to rice cereal) applesauce, bananas and pears.
On Memorial Day we went to spend the day with Alison and the kids so Brandon and David could go fishing. Everyone had a great time...
The kids really enjoyed playing together...Michael kind of trashed Wesley's room, he was so excited about all the "new" toys!
Harrison's famous talking/grinning face! For some reason he often sucks in the top lip to smile, and closes his lips completely to talk...this is the mixture!
I don't know if I've been feeding the baby enough...2 fat rolls on the back of the neck!!!
Michael, on the other hand, does not have a fat roll to be found anywhere!
The boys...
More wrestling...notice how Harrison is always on top and seems to be winning?!?! I think this will be the case with the boys and little Michael against the big boy!
But they're still buds!
CHEESE!!!!
I really do feed the children...apparently on this day it was just not fast enough for Michael!
See? I even got a picture of the boys eating together!
One of David's friends from work has a son who was in love with Thomas the Train. He has since grown out of the little character, so Michael was the very excited beneficiary of about a zillion trains and even a train couch...too cute!
The couch is just the right size! Except of course for Harrison!
I'm telling you...zillions of trains!!!
Daddy feeding Harrison...
Daddy showing Harrison how to eat! It is so funny...no matter how hard you try, when you are feeding a baby you have no control of your mouth!!!
So David decided to just hide it from me the rest of the time!!
More happy bathtime shots...poor Michael...it seems like each day he gets less and less room in the bathtub as Harrison grows and becomes more active.


Of course, a couple of new videos...
First is Michael and daddy reading together and Michael talking...
And here is Harrison laughing at daddy...

Okay, that is it for now. I have a great shot of Harrison's teeth that I need to post. I will try to later today or tomorrow.

Love to all...
