He is way into blowing wet wet raspberries with his lips, sending spit everywhere. He thinks it's real funny.
He also now will give you a kiss 90% of the time when you tell him to give you a smoochy. And hugs. But sometimes he thinks that pulling mommy's hair is part of hugging. It's not.

Tiger Bear's Thumb
Lots of things I always mean to remember:
1. Long Bean thinks he is a tiger. Or maybe a bear. He growls like both. We mostly refer to him as tiger as the "Sorry Roger, you tiger now" commercial is one of our favorites. But when he puts on his furry bear suit for cold weather walks, he becomes a griz. And what is better about the suit is that Esther says he looked like a real bear from behind when I showed up carrying him in my arms last week.
2. Today he rediscovered his thumb, and told it he was sorry for neglecting it for several months.
3. In his exersaucer there is an arch on which you move beads back and forth. He has decided this use is stupid and instead pulls with all his might to get the arch to his mouth to chew on. It is not really bendy nor intended to move, but he makes it work.
4. He wakes up unbelieveably happy most mornings. He didn't get that from me. But he will smile and hit me in the face and pull my hair and giggle and have a grand old time. Makes waking up a lot easier for me when someone so sweet and cute is there smiling at you.
5. First tooth continues to make it's way through the gums. Tooth number two is fighting to get out as hard as it can.
6. I can hardly carry him in his carseat. I will soon have to discontinue use and get a wheelchair for my broken back.
7. Because Aaron has a beard/goatee off and on Harmon will never reach up and grab his face. Instead he will carefully put his hand out and rub it ever so gently on Aaron's chin or cheek. It is very cute looking. I on the other hand never have facial hair and so always get smacked by the not-so-sweet hand.
8. Every night when Aaron is putting PJs on, he and Harmon have a battle. I will often hear Aaron saying "good one" or "well played!" and "I'm victorious". I think Aaron wins every night because he always manages to get them on, but Harmon enjoys his little victories.
9. Harmon always wants what you have. (like every kid on the planet) If you have a tv remote and give it to him, he wants the other one you are holding. If you pull out a not in use keyboard for him to type on, he wants the real one. If you are talking on the phone, he thinks it's his. Why does every child on the planet know the difference between real and fake things? It's magical I tell you, and only going to get worse.
10. Along with all the growling Harmon does a lot of screeching. My screecher creature. Really high pitched, and often right before or after a low growl. He is really loving his own voice, and so far so are we.
There is more. But this is more than you wanted to read and it's late. But it's for me anyway, you just get to read if you want.

Sweet Potatoes
Tried them tonight. A bit too thick, added water to reduce gag factor. They weren't super flavorful and so were liked but not loved. Prunes reigns supreme.

Scoot!
Am I an awful mother because I desire for my child to remain immobile as long as possible? Aaron would have had Harmon crawling at two weeks. I hope for two years. Granted I won't be able to lift him soon, but whatever. I am quite possibly the worst house cleaner, most especially the vacuuming/moping. I have fears that either I will have to scrub them ASAP or let my child pick up lint balls and eat them like candy. Both are horrifying choices.
Anyway, Long Bean is now an inchworm, combining butt in the air/foot push off with army crawl arms to scoot himself forward. Aaron practically cried in joy. I guess I better get to babyproofing a lot sooner than I thought. :P :P :P :)

Dientes
Harmon spent all last night being in pain and waking up every hour or so. But then, lo and behold around noon today I peered into his mouth again and there was a tiny hole with a tiny bit of tooth sneaking it's way out. I would imagine there should be some poking out by morning tomorrow based on the fact that there was nothing except swolleness this morning. Needless to say, we all need a nap.

Food
March 3-5 Rice Cereal, enjoyment
March 6-11 Prunes, sour face, great love
March 12 Peas, unhappy face, but wanted more
And for those of you requesting to know Long Bean's status of feet: he found them a couple days ago and is a BIG fan.
