Stunt Man
In case you haven't heard, Hollywood called and Harrison will be performing most of the stunt work for the next summer blockbuster. Here he is as he practices some of his maneuvering for his upcoming scenes. He is such a work-a-holic that he hardly has time to get out of character... what a professional!

Crap
Sorry, I couldn't think of any other way to title this post. It is the only word that can describe my irritation with tonight's events. Well, I could definitely think of a few more less than desirable words but I'm trying to be tasteful on my blog. Crap is most certainly an understatement.
My sneaky little 2 year old has figured out how to set me over the edge even after hours. I've been thinking for some time that he could probably get out of his crib if he wanted to but I was convinced that he didn't want to take the risk of hurting himself if he fell. As you can imagine, his fear is gone and he is feeling free as a bird. He popped right back into our room after we put him down for bed to let us know that he still had a good hour and a half of energy to burn. Translation: Mommy is one step closer to checking herself into the mental institute.
I realize that this is the time that most toddlers make the transition to a "big boy" bed anyway. So it shouldn't be such a shock that he has figured out how to break free from the crib. I mean, why not? I've never known any other barrier to hold him back. But I also feel that Harrison has an abnormal amount of energy that somehow got zapped once he was put into his crib. Oh well, those days are gone and I guess I can shift my denial onto something more suitable like potty training. Here we go, onto the next adventure.

Amelia & St. Simons Weekend
Vacations are a necessity for any 2 and half year old. All that playing, napping, and screaming can be stressful on a toddler, and Harrison is no exception. Therefore, as a way to take all that added pressure off of my delicate little flower, we took a nice weekend getaway to the beach. Nevermind that we already live at the beach or the fact that Harrison does not have a clue what it means to relax...we needed new scenery.
Harrison and I enjoyed a quick visit with Aunt Nat Nat at Amelia. We spent Thursday and Friday by the pool and at the beach which wasn't quite as relaxing as it sounds. In fact, it might have been a little more work than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams...but we had a lot of fun. And after that, we met Robert and headed on to St. Simons to stay with some our best friends, Angel, Reint and Finn.
We also got to see my parents and all of my grandparents once we got to Jacksonville. Harrison was even able to squeeze in some time to go fishing with PaPa. Great weekend and and now it's time to start thinking about how I can plan a vacation that includes a full time sitter for the times that I need a vacation. Good luck with that!

Robert's Birthday
Grandmommy Lee Lee came to visit us this weekend. We had a great time visiting AND Robert and I had a nice time to ourselves because Lee Lee was sweet enough to babysit for most of the weekend. Since it was Robert's birthday on Sunday we hit the beach and enjoyed a somewhat overcast day without scorching hot temperatures. But, we were only able to stay for an hour because Jojo was willing to run himself to death to ensure that not a single bird was able to land on the beach. Even though I think he lives his lifelong dream of being a beach dog, I'm pretty sure that one more bird chase would have landed him in the doggy hospital had we not left when we did. I would love to bottle the combined energy of both Harrison & Jojo...at least they can wear each other out!

Sunday Lunch at the Conch House
We met my grandparents at the Conch House in St. Augustine last Sunday and here are some of the pictures we got. Now that our camera is back in action I plan to be much better about updating our blog. At least, these are my intentions...

Sweet Dreams
This is what trouble looks like. I can understand trying to climb out of a crib but into one??? Don't be fooled. Not a single one of them was looking for a place to nap. The crib was simply a climbing device that needed to be conquered before moving onto their next challenge.

We're back. This time in video.
So...it's been a while since I've been able to post any pictures. Our camera got sent off, once again, for repairs. And even though I have had this flip camera for over a month, I just figured out how to post videos onto my blog. Sure, it took me a little while (I'm not usually very technically inclined) but the point is, I did it...by myself. Next stop, NASA.
And here are some videos of Harrison as he takes on the swimming pool . He has been quite the fish this summer and even though he has not mastered swimming with his head out of the water, I'm pretty sure that he developed some kind of gill which has allowed him to stay under the water for an abnormal amount of time. I'm going to go ahead and assume that he will be getting a dive tank and flippers for his 3rd birthday...in case anyone was already on the hunt for his next big event.

Little Lady Lyons
Not that you can you can really see anything from the ultrasound picture but here she is...all 10 ounces of her. Robert and I were convinced that Harrison was about to have a baby brother but that is not the case. I am sure that this little girl will be filled with all kinds of surprises. And we are so excited to meet her!!!

Memorial Day Weekend
It's been a busy week! We were visited by some of our favorite people all week long. We got to spend time with Nat Nat (Aunt Natalie) early in the week. On Friday, our friends, Reint, Angel, and Finn came to visit. Saturday we got to see Nana for a few hours. And Amy came to spend Sunday and Sunday night with us. Plus, we spent some time with our Palm Coast friends out at the beach on Sunday. What a treat!
We've had such a nice week and tomorrow we will go to find out if Harrison is getting a brother or a sister. This little baby needs to rest up for the next 4 months because he or she is going to need to keep up with one energetic brother!
