The weeks fly by so quickly, I can not even believe it is almost February, at 8 months Harris is remarkable! He is full of energy and happiness, not laughter of course because it still takes a full com medic festival to have him actually laugh, that or Jeb - our beloved dog - stealing one of his toys.
Harris is full into his PT and doing much better each week. His arms are getting looser and looser and he is reaching higher and farther then he was just days ago! The rolling is still not great - and he much prefers to lean in his neck and head so that he doesn't have to bring his hands all the way to his mouth when he wants to chew things but slow and steady progress is what we are hoping for and that is what we are getting! Barbara his PT continues to remark on how bright he is and how that actually gets in the way of his physical development, as Dad the computer genius said he has work arounds - ways of getting around the problem without actually fixing it.
Some of Harris's new found delights: cheerios and electronics.
- Cheerios - boys does he love them. He spends lots of time trying to get them into his little hand and then his little hand to his mouth (all good practice), but then he doesn't know to let go, so instead Mom or Martina swoop in with the cheerio and cheer on his efforts.
- Electronics - Despite not watching TV Harris has this unmatched fascination with the remote controls. The buttons the little lights that blink when you press them - he stares in awe. (Is he Daddy's boy or what!?!). The only thing better then the remote is the baby monitor, which in the morning when he comes into bed with mom and dad provides minutes of distraction as he watches the lights dance from the music still playing in his room.
