Harrison is Eleven Months Old Today!

There's only 1 month left before my baby officially becomes a toddler. My last baby (yes, that's right, my last baby), will be a baby no more.

Harrison's been as busy as ever this past month. He's been growing steadily, eating like there will soon be a shortage of food and making us laugh every day.

He continues to be a very quite baby. Only crying if he's tired or hungry. He's finding his voice in other areas though. He grunts if he's not being fed fast enough, cries out if he wants your attention and even seems to have taken up singing.

He has the best smile ever. And he knows how to use it. He just makes eye contact with the ladies wherever we go and then smiles that smile and they are his. He's realized now that if he doesn't get them just with the smile, a grunt and a wave usually makes the contact and then it's just a matter of reeling them in with the smile. Very clever is my boy.

Eating continues to be a favourite pastime. While it's slowed down over the past week, his appetite for a while was huge. We couldn't seem to keep him satisfied. There were times when we thought he'd pop but he'd still be asking for food. Luckily, that's passed now otherwise he'd be a big round ball with little short legs.

Hi favourite person? Still Charlotte. She makes him laugh to no end and now she goes in and greets him in the morning when he wakes. All you can hear over the monitor is the two of them talking to each other. Charlotte is convinced he said her name, but so far only Da Da and Bye have been confirmed.

Harrison isn't walking yet, but he does sometimes stand for around 5 sec before sitting down. He has also taken up dancing. If the radio is on or there's music on TV, he starts to bop up and down. It's very cute. He'll soon be dancing around the room next to his big sister.

Laugh. He laughs, we laugh. He makes us all laugh. He has got such a great little personality and I can't wait to see it develop.

I'm going to enjoy this month (like I have the others) before my baby becomes a little man!

Love you babes!
