Harry - 13 months

Dear Hazzie / Haz-Mat / H-y Baby on your 13 month birthday

Big month little guy! You've learned to crawl properly, you've learned to kneel up (preferred position), to stand with support, to climb stairs, to take a few shaky steps with assistance, you've learned all sorts of sounds and noises, you've learned to drink through a straw (tonight!), you've learned to offer a drink to mummy and daddy, you've learned to strum your lips making a funny bubablubba sound and you've become cuter and cuter than ever.

You have the most beautiful look about you, young man. Your face is so expressive that you are able to convey every possible mood with a raised eyebrow, a pursing of the lips, or a narrowing of the brow. Mostly your mood is one of contentment, you are nearly always happy and smiling, content to do whtaever it is you're doing, content to be wherever you are, and very ready with a smile for anyone that wants to offer one to you.

At the end of the week we are moving into your new home, the first you'll remember I guess, and this weekend we spent alot of time preparing it for you so that it's nice and welcoming from the moment you move in. I painted it the same colour as your hero's bedroom, that'd be Dylan. Butter couldn't melt in his mouth as far as you're concerned. You'll happily crawl after him wherever he goes, you are so very ready with a smile for him whenever he looks your way, and if he should choose to play with you well there's nothing better, is there? In the morning, if you wake up after him and I bring you downstairs, you immediately start to look around the room for him and frown until you've spotted him. When you do, you give him a big beaming smile and wave, I put you down and you crawl over to him shouting loudly. It's a joy to watch.

Keep up the good work little dude, we love you so much and we're cherishing every moment of your baby days.

As always,

Mummy & Daddy
