A month in the life of Harry Tobias

Harry is extremely active, rarely staying still. When sat on an adult's lap he bobs up and down energetically, and if held under his armpits his feet slide up and down the insides of his legs, as if he is dancing an Irish jig. He shows great pleasure in freedom of movement. On the floor Harry is able to move around quite successfully to reach his toys, regularly rolling over. Sometimes, in his enthusiasm to move, he travels backwards, which causes him some frustration.

On the floor Harry is able to move around quite successfully to reach his toys, regularly rolling over. Sometimes, in his enthusiasm to move, he travels backwards, which causes him some frustration.

His hair has always been fine and much of it has now rubbed off. He also has some skin irritation on his arms and legs, possibly the start of eczema, together with a slight covering of cradle cap on his scalp.

Harry loves to communicate and has started to make 'Mmmm mmmm' sounds. He squeals with excitement as big sister Jasmine runs around him and he often rolls over while trying to see where she has gone.
