15 months old today

"My son is a rock star"

It's been far too long since I've updated Harry's blog, so to make up for it here's lots of photos! Harrison is now 15 months old and is mischief on legs. It seems that the last few weeks he's really exploded with what he's learning and communicating, and in his personality.

At his 15 month plunket check, he weighed 11.82 kg (75th percentile) and measured 87cm tall (above 97th percentile).

Harry's got a number of words and signs (baby sign language) now, here's the record I wrote down in his plunket book...

Most of his favourite things are reflected in what he says and signs - he absolutely loves animals, including fish and birds, and even went for his first pony ride a couple of weeks ago! He also loves dinosaurs, and is very into posting things (at the moment it's posting pegs into a tiny hole cut into the top of a formula tin) and giving things to people. Yesterday he went back and forth about 50 times passing dvds very carefully between Mummy, Daddy and the shelf!

Harry is having one nap a day, at about midday for about 3 hours. His night time sleeping is a bit hit and miss at the moment as he's been sick with a cold - and because he has his molars coming through. We can see one tip of the top right hand molar, and it's causing a bit of havoc (and lots of dribbling) as it cuts through the gums.

Without further ado, here's lots of photos of our little monkey boy...

Harry found a new hat

Guess who loves fruit!

Being serious

There's been a lot more of this lately... some awesome little tantrums!

And a lot more of this... cheeky boy....

...climbing onto everything.

Harry had a ball at his friend Danika's 5th birthday party - Old Macdonald's Farm came to visit! Here he is patting the dog (doh! woo woo woo)

And patting the pig

He even fed the goat

Harrison's first (and second, he wanted to go on it again) pony ride!

He's signing 'more please' cos we stopped to take a photo. This is the sign for 'please'!
