Harry at One

I have not had the time or urge to sit down and write about Prince Harry's personality until now! I need Chad to help me because I always forget! Since I am around a plethora of babies his age it is easier for me to decipher what all babies do and what is unique to Harry.

Jobs Harry will be good at if he stays the way he is at one:

• Stuntman: he loves to jump back and forth on the couch and even throw his body over it (luckily he has been caught); he gets hurt and doesn't stay upset or even get upset at all; he wants to stand on anything that is higher than the floor (presents, stools, baskets, toys, etc..); he loves to climb and will make a quick break if you don't pay close attention; he is not afraid to go where he has never been before or anyone for that matter; he likes to try to climb out of his stroller; pull anything that dangles (clothes for store racks, ornaments, etc: he has started reaching for door knobs (he does not like for you to shut the door from outside).



• Musician: he wants to carry his drum sticks with him EVERYWHERE; he loves to dance (the video from one of the previous posts will prove that) and will usually do it when you sing, play music or simply cheer him on; music on any toy will get him dancing or smiling; his guitars have always been the most popular toy in the house; if he is sick of the car seat, I can put the Little Tykes drum(not so little)in his lap and he is good the rest of the way home; everything is a maraca; everything is a drum; he still will calm down from being tired when I sing to him (that in its self is a miracle, i do not sing well at all); Chad has a great singing voice and is pretty good at the guitar, Harry LOVES this; the musical gene must have come from the Ware side!



• Wal-Mart Greeter: Harry enjoys going to Wal-Mart and most of the time cruising in the cart, but he likes to be looking the direction we are moving. He enjoys smiling at people we walk by and loves trying to grab items off the isle!



• Hair Stylist: Harry has loved hair and texture since he was tiny. Heather at day care will even comment about how Harry goes to sleep pulling her hair. He loves to stoke my hair and rub on Chad's head. He is a fan of the hair dyer too!



• Food Critic: He is very quick to spit out anything you give him to eat. He loves anything with sugar and all of you "Miss Healthys" out there who say "if you give your kids sugar of course he will only eat things with sugar" that bugs me, you tell me snacks at Wal-Mart that do not have sugar that are fast! Cereal bars, oatmeal packets, yogurt, fruit, get my drift! He does like a few vegetables but, Harry is not the best eater like he was with milk! I was given some Barnes and Noble gift cards this year and bought Deceptively Delicious and a Toddler's Menu cook book. I sure do hope it works out.



• Leader: Harry walks to his own drum, at day care he doesn't follow other kids who finds what he wants to play with and goes straight to it. I sure do hope he stays this way, his mom and dad do there own thing quite often, maybe he will inherit this trait.


• Doctor: Harry has been to the doctors office his fair share, and let me tell you, the kid loves a stethoscope!


• House Cleaner: He enjoys watching us vacuum; he tries to get into the cleaning cabinet every chance he gets; he has always loved the Swifter(remember Mr. Clean); and his favorite toy is the talking broom he got for his birthday.

I am sure I will think of more later!

These were the only pictures I could get. He is showing his stuntman skills, see how he likes to stand on anything! We missed out on Memaw's house this weekend because Harry has bronchitis and just started his antibiotic. You can tell a bit how pitiful he looks! Poor Guy!

Kim, notice the toy in his right hand. He loves that thing!
