A month in the life of Harry Tobias

Language development has again been quite marked this month, with Harry continuing to build on his vocabulary and exclaiming 'look' at everything that interests him. Harry also shows items to his doll, again saying 'look'. Harry now gives a greeting when talking on the phone, for example saying 'Harro Ganny', whereas previously his presence was only indicated by his breathing, with Harry mostly preferring to listen. However, he would nod his head in the right places while his conversation partner spoke, despite them not being able to see his action.

Harry is delighted with his new (environmentally friendly) nappy wrap, which he proudly calls 'Pants'. He wears it with great enthusiasm and it is also helping to ease his eczema.

Harry had been taken off foods containing wheat for a short while due to diarrhoea, but wheat has now been re-introduced to his diet and he seems to be tolerating it without problems. This is good news for both Harry and his parents.
