Our Harry is turning into a right curious wee rascal - it's very endearing but also hard work! He loves exploring and getting into everything, and is great fun to be around. It seems that he learns new things every day. He loves to feed himself yoghurt (hasn't quite got the hang of dipping the spoon yet, but will get the spoon into his mouth every time when I pass it to him) and seems very independent at times.
He's very talkative, his favourite sound at the moment being "awwww-wwww", said high pitched at first and then going down - like he's just seen something really interesting. And in fact he makes the sound when he sees something new and interesting! He also says "dadda" and "mumma" and "momo" (Uncle Elmo is going to be Uncle MoMo now I've decided, since Harry said that) but we don't yet know whether he connects those 'sounds' to us.
I was holding him the other day and talking to someone, my boy obviously didn't think I was paying him enough attention cos he ever so gently put his hand on my face and pulled it so I was looking at him! It was so cute. He also yells "aaaahhhhh" or squeals or screams when he thinks he requires more attention!
We're amazed at how much he understands now. He has several books with cats in them, if we say "where's the cat?" he'll point to it, and gets super excited whenever he sees one walk past outside. He loves dogs too, and gets sooo happy seeing Calista or any other dogs. Last night he was patting Calista, and he tends to get a wee bit too excited sometimes, so I said "Just gentle with Calista Harry, touch her paw gently, just stroke her foot". Immediately he looked across at my foot, quickly crawled over and started touching and kissing my foot! "Not my foot Harry, Calista's!".
Harrison's favourite toys at the moment are books with photos of babies/animals, his beehive thing that he presses and the balls pop around inside and make noise, a car/truck jigsaw puzzle, rakau sticks and any type of ball. He also loves just standing or crawling around and 'dancing' to music. He also loves swings!
Harry also gives kisses to things or people he loves lots. Tonight in the bath he was besotted with this plastic net thing, and every time I said "awww kisses", he would bring it gently to his mouth and give it the sweetest wee open-mouthed kiss! Soooo gentle!
So here's some photos....

So here's some photos....
Getting ready to play Mini Sticks (Uncle Eric will have to come over from Canada to have a game!)
Giving kisses to his musical dino
He's getting better at understanding the dvd player is not a drum... but we still have our moments!!
The intrepid explorer
Check out those curls!
He gravitates towards the broom and likes to 'help' to sweep the kitchen floor
Having a quiet sleepy cuddle with mumma
Crawling up to press his beehive thing (I think it used to belong to CJ when she was a bubba!)
Jiggling on his rocking horse (thanks Rachel!)
Reading with Daddy
Falling asleep in random positions!
Cracking up at 'round and round the garden'.... this is only the anticipation...
"And, tickle you under there!" (this is the face of uncontrollable laughter/squealing)
My blue-eyed boy and his awesome facials
A wee cuddle for Mumma
And a cuddle for Daddy
Enjoying the swing at Chipmunks
And as my Grandad Eric always said, there's nothing in the world as peaceful as a sleeping baby
