Harry - 15 months

Again it's all about the standing my big 15 mth old boy! Your dad and brother just spent an hour building the above train table for you while you napped and I managed to capture the look of glee on your face when you woke up and found it! We wanted to get this for you for Christmas but decided to get it now as you love them when at friends houses and it's encouraging you to use those big chunky leggies of yours. Like we really need more toys cluttering upstairs before the wretched playroom is done! Tell that Dad of yours to hurryup would you?

When I put you down for your nap earlier you messed about for a bit and I had to come in a couple of times to straighten you out. The 2nd time you looked at me, lay down yourself (without me having to do it) and said "I DOWN". So cute and very surprising as your speech is still mostly limited to Mamama, Dadadad, Din Din, and sometimes 'I did it'.

You were sick a bit this month with a cold and a bit grouchier than usual - still obviously far better natured than any child in the history of children, but I felt sorry for you feeling a bit poorly. We had a projectile vomit incident which fortunately your father was around to deal with (I don't do sick!) and then you slept on his tummy on the sofa, something you rarely do these days, so Daddy was very touched.

Yesterday we went to an inflatable place and you bounced on a bouncy castle on all 4's for ages, so funny, you just loved it. You're really enjoying all the activity that there is to do here and I am enjoying your having the opportunities. We also enrolled you in the Pro Club daycare and you've been twice, enjoying it each time for an hour while mummy went to the gym and pretended to exert herself.

Food is becoming a bit of an issue this month, right on schedule. Forget me feeding you, absolutely blooming forget it. You turn your head away and go ballistic if I try. Pasta? Your previous favourite food? Yuk. Banana? Gross. Cheerios? Only if they're someone elses while we're out. Any food whatsoever on your high chair tray? FLOOR. It's times like this I miss the dog! Of course in the case of Daddy taking you to the Supermarket and offering you pink sugar coated sugary iced sugary biscuits then that's obviously fine and you'll eat millions and come home disgustingly dirty and hyper and full of rubbish... but we can rule out anything remotely resembling healthy, with the bizarre exception of green vegetables, especially broccoli, which you love and I naturally make the most of.

You also have an aversion to socks, having your bum changed, getting dressed, being in your stroller, and BoohBah. You love, however, being outside, being in the car, Teletubbies, putting things into other things, and push along cars and trains which you zoom around the house crawling and pushing as often as possible, especially if big brother races you which is of course the absolute business. And hugs... you're so cuddly and huggy, that's my personal favourite bit :o) I ask you for 'loves' and you immediately fling your arms around me and rest your head and say 'ahhhhhh'. Those are the best moments of all :o)

Love you little man
