our boy is six months.


how cute are those pudgy arms?!

Harry is now six months. Here's a round up of his royal loveliness...

He loves:
swimming. We have had swimming lessons since he was 8 weeks and he can now swim a short way underwater between mumma and daddy. it is so cool.
pulling hair. Grabbing mumma's hair is probably one of his most favourite things to do. Mine not so much.
singing. We sing to him a lot. Daddy often plays guitar and sings which he is fascinated by but I tend to stick to good old fashioned nursery rhymes. Twinkle twinkle little star is always bound to raise a smile.
watching Honey dog. He follows her around the room with his eyes and loves stroking her.
playing peekaboo. Around the highchair. With the muslin. Behind your hands. He loves it.

He can:
eat food. His favourite thing seems to change every day but give him wholewheat toast and fromage frais and he is happy.
sit up. He is a bit wobbly even more so if you're not sitting with him but finally he can hold his back straight and play with a toy while sitting.
go through the night without food. Occasionally he does need feeding a 2am but most nights he goes through. Although we do still have to get up to him a couple of times a night.
wiggle and wriggle forwards and backwards. During the day when he's on the floor he seems to only go backwards but at night even when we start him with his feet at the bottom of the cot he works his way up towards the top.
stand up. If you hold him he wobbles a bit but loves to use his feet.

Being a mumma and getting to spend time with this boy is such a privilege. He is lovely and is changing at such a rapid rate it's hard to keep up with him. I just can't wait to see what he can do in this next month.
