Harry - 11 months

As I write this we are up to our necks in boxes and packing, a giant list of things to do beckoning, and you rolling around at my feet playing with anything and everything that you can find, little man!

Your movement is so funny, to get from A to B you look where you want to go, circle until you're pointing at angles to your destination, and then roll at high speeds to get there. You can also push yourself backwards in an almost backwards crawl, and you are beginning to attempt to pull yourself up to a sitting position when you find a box that looks interesting. You're also in to EVERYTHING at the moment, nothing whatsoever is safe from your inqusitive little self, from anything small to the dog bowl to the air vents.

You are also so noisy it's hilarious. Everything at the moment is either OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH or BUH! BUH!. Right now you're blowing raspberries at my chair for some reason and it's making me giggle.

Sleep wise you've cracked it completely - 2 x 2hr naps during the day and 12 hrs non stop at night. Hurrah for that! You're so good humoured and happy all of the time. When people remark on it (which they do often) I always think it's because you are so content, well rested, well fed (certainly well fed!), and generally so very happy. On the subject of food you are Mr Piggy and you will eat constantly if allowed to! I don't feed you much in the way of junky things but you are certainly anxious to consume anything that crosses your path. If we ever go to a drive-thru for anything and you see everyone else in the car eating? Woe bedtide us and the furious shouting that follows that!

This is a fairly anxious time for us all with the move, but I think you are going to love going to England on Friday for 2 weeks of grandparent love. You will be spoiled rotten and get so much attention you won't know what to do with it all. Then on to Seattle, our new home. Scary! But you won't know the difference little guy, other than a bit of strangeness and disruption, and I'm convinced you'll love it there when you are old enough to notice :o)

Love you little guy!
