Hello HARRY to the MAX: April 2007

Harry's First Poker night

At two months old, Harry made his first appearance at my poker club. Despite his lucky poker onesie, we were the big losers -- we lost a whole nine dollars! (We each only put in $20 so that's a lot in this high-stakes game.)

He wasn't the only baby there -- Shia brought baby Ari as well.

Two month photo shoot

Harry at two months, then for a reminder, a photo of him at one month.
Here's another month two photo:

Oh, is the camera rolling?

Harry loves talking to the black-and-white picture hanging next to his changing table. Here, after 15 minutes of talking to the square, circle and triangle, he gets a little cranky. That is, until he notices the camera. Then, he lays on the charm. (The video is a little long, but you'll be rewarded with a big smile at the end.)

An eye for trends

Harry apparently has an eye for what is hip. According to US Weekly (not that I read it or have a subscription to it or eagerly check my mailbox for it), Harry and Suri Cruise have the same favorite toy -- a bee on top of a flower, which is pictured below. He talks to the flower, reaches for it and tries to grab the rings.

Sunday morning naps are the best

Chicago Baby

Harry's a good sport and agrees to model my favorite onesies. (This one from Aunt Steph.)

Then he got right back to work with some baby push-ups.

Smiles in action

On the Road Again

Harry had a great time in Indiana this weekend, playing with his cousins and delighting the crowd with his newly found smile. It was his first time meeting cousin (and future babysitter ;) Maggie and Great-Grandma Margaret. We went down to Indy with one two-door car that elicited nothing but curse words (only a few more months for those!) each time we had to put the car seat in the back. But we came back with a four-door car from Grandpa Bob and Grandma Phyllis that seems like a limousine in comparison.
