Oh my goodness, the precious boy is 1! Here he is with his special birthday breakfast heart pancake, which he loved. The bottom picture is after dinner the other night, when Jay tilted his high chair back and pushed him up to the table. Harris totally chilled, put his feet up on the table and grinned.
Harris is not yet walking, probably because he can crawl so fast he sees no need to slow himself down by learning to walk. He zips up stairs, no problem, and he can stand up by himself without any support and stand there as long as he wants. It's just a matter of time before he steps out. It would be advantageous because we are outside so much now which means his poor chubby knees and the tops of his feet are getting all torn up from the bricks in our yard. He also comes in covered with dirt and mulch and tree pollen from slogging through it all.
Harris is very expressive, "talking" all the time, crying when he's tired or hungry or wanting to be held. He shakes his head for "no" and clicks his tongue, and sticks out his tongue when Jay sticks his out. He loves to be held and snuggled, laying his head down on my shoulder when he's tired or upset. He loves his brother and sister, and wants to be doing what they're doing. We love him so much, and rejoice in his first year with us- may there be many, many more!
(Stay tuned for his statistics, as his doctor's appointment is not until May. And we're having a small party for him this weekend, when my Dad can be here for it.)
