Almost 2 years old

As Harry approaches his 2 year milestone, his Mum and Dad wonder how the time past so quickly.

We thought it would be good to remember some things Harry likes. 

Music

• Psy - Gangnam Style (Harry loves this song, Mum and Dad found that it helped Harry to focus and eat his breakfast and dinner.  He enjoyed watching the music video.
• Ron Goodwin – The Legend Of The Glass Mountain (Dad played this during most bath times and when getting Harry ready for bed.

Harry does seem to like dance music more at the minute.

T.V.

Harry watches some T.V. and like Mr Tumble and Justins House as well as most cartoons.

Keys

Harry has a strong obsession with keys.  He always wants them and knows what they are used for.  Mum has been locked out of the house by Harry.

Cars

Harry loves getting into the car and driving.  He has been in the front seat of everyones car.  He knows where the keys go and can unlock and start the car with ease.

Words

Harry can repeat most words now and can repeat the alphabet and counting to 10.

As a family we are very grateful for the help and assistance that our friends and family have given us and Harry has enjoyed the fun times with you all.

Other stuff
Harry still sucks his bottom lip when he is bored and poor old Oscar, his favorite toy has very little fur left.  He is not a great fan of getting his teeth cleaned but is getting a bit better.  He has no problem sleeping and has recently moved into his own room in the new house and has been sleeping well.  The routine is Bath/shower between 7 and 8, change and night bottle between 8 and 9. Harry falls asleep and is carried to bed.  The fun usually starts again between 6.30 and 8.

Looking forward to the birthday party this year.

Enjoying the sun at the new house

With the sun shining on a lovely Sunday afternoon.  Harry wanted to cool off so Mum and Dad got out the paddling pool and Oma and Grandad called down.

Harry got suited up and had a splash in the pool.

Oma with Harry, yes the paddling pool has a slide and was set on some old carpet.

Harry faces up to the slide and decides it's time to go over it.

Success and Harry is over.

Oma enjoys the sun.

Harry looking good.

Oma and Harry chill out.

Grandad has a nice cuppa in the conservatory

Harry shows off his bike skills.

A relaxing sunny day.  Hope there is a few more to come.

New Home

Harry will be moving into his new home with his Mum and Dad in the next few days. It will be sad to leave Bangor but there is a whole new adventure to start in Donaghadee. Harry has already been in the new house and seems to like it.

Harry gets new shoes

Today Harry got a new pair of shoes. He is now size 5 G.  Startrite - cost £36 from the shoe shop on sandyrow. He seems to like them.

Balmoral Show

Mum, Dad, Harry and Oma and Granddad took a trip to the Balmoral Show at the new site at the maze.  It was a great sunny day and very busy.  There was lots to see.  Harry enjoyed seeing all the animals and getting up close to all the farm machinery.

We watched the horse jumpers warming up.

Watching some judging

Harry takes a break in the pram.

In the kids farm area Harry met and got up close to some interesting animals.

How many piglets can you see.  All feeding on their mum.

We saw some baby chicks and even saw some hatching out of their shells.

Dad holds a Californian King Snake.

Oh its time to feed the baby lamb.

Harry has a turn

Oh what's this.

It's a little puppy barking.

Harry is back to say bye.

After a we break with some music and sarnie, we called round to see the sheep shearing competition.

Oma and granddad having a good day.

While Dads back was turned Harry walks into the back of a large trailer and when spotted by Dad he makes a run for it.

Time for the Bolddog Lings display team.

Big jumps.

Waves to the crowd but then things get more dangerous.

Both hands in the air.  What next.

This is a crazy stunt.

Now all three riders go freestyle.

Some more cattle judging

Look how the cow handler keeps the cow happy by scratching his belly.

Harry is having a great time.

This handler has some trouble getting her cow to turn round.

Time for Dad and Harry to get close to some farm machinery.

Can't get in.

A fork lift this will do and Harry gets in to drive.

Harry is in control.

A great day at the show.
