Narrative:

Flight XXX taxiing from gate X to runway 19R at taxiway V, via txwys B, M, east. Completed appropriate checklist and xferred controls to first officer to taxi. First officer did not stop at taxiway V but continued to and onto runway 25R. Runway was not in use. We did however hold short of ILS critical area for runway 19R. And we held short of runway 19R on runway 25R. Milwaukee ground instructs all aircraft when to switch to tower frequency. Ground control switched us before we reached taxiway V. As I was switching frequencys the first officer taxied beyond taxiway V and continued on taxiway east. By the time I realized what was happening, we were on runway 25R. It was my first flight in over 2 weeks and I felt rushed and out of the loop. My first officer was not a new-hire and has been with the company for over a yr. I was probably a little too relaxed in monitoring our progress along the taxiway due to the fact I knew I had a seasoned, good first officer. Milwaukee tower was busy with incoming traffic landing and did not notice us passing taxiway V until it was too late. Milwaukee ground handed us over too early to a busy, preoccupied milwaukee tower.
