A hello wave to my peoples

Harrison started greeting people with a wave this week. The staff at Kids' Club told us he was waving at everyone all day long. Now he'll do it when prompted, about 50% of the time.

"Harrison, say Hi to your loyal followers!"

He goes where he wants

With all the hardwood floors, he has the run of the house. He typically heads to the laundry room first to see if his soiled garments are getting laundered, and to make sure Sage has fresh water in her bucket, then he spins around and glances in the sunroom, then he heads to the kitchen and pulls the hand towel off the rack, then he takes that into the family room and bangs on the white plant stands under the table because they make a neat sound, then he drops the hand towel on the family room floor and stares at it for about 3 seconds, then he goes to the end of the couch and pulls a few magazines off the stack under the side table, then he goes to the living room and tugs on the various moving boxes and rams his walker into things, then we call to him from the kitchen and we videotoape him scooting back to mom and dad.

Sleeping habits

Sleep time is becoming very very interesting now that H is becoming more mobile. He is not crawling yet but he does manage to spin and roll. As a result, he spends a few minutes every night trying to get comfortable in his crib and ends up sleeping in the weirdest positions. The other night we found him like this...


It is just amazing to watch him grow, learn, move, speak and sleep! Things are really starting to happen!

Finally on the lake

On Tuesday morning I got out on the boat for the first time this season/year. The fog on the water burned off quickly once the sun came up but I managed a few pictures.

I also caught this young buck actually swimming across the lake. From about a quarter mile away I saw what I thought was a floating stump, but it was swimming. I motored over to it and realized it was a deer. He actually swam across a part of the lake that is at least a half mile wide.
