Winter catch-up

In January, everyone was getting back into the flow of school and work, while Harry was enjoying exploring all around him.

our little Elton John...

First time I thought to do water play outside of bathtime

The day before the inauguration, an American mom organized this photo at the school. See if you can find Livi and Oscar:

Love these feet. The pants too.

Fancy dress day for Spirit Week

February brought more chilling at home, and even more heat and dry weather. We're still anxiously awaiting the rains that our drought-stricken area needs so badly, but know when they arrive it will take mud-season to a new level. Livi and Dragon will be a force to be reckoned with... At 9 months Harry was moving all over, climbing stairs, and exploring sound. He also started pulling to stand and cruising just a bit. Here he is playing the kazoo (kind of). This is not his best musical performance, but the only one I've managed to get on camera:https://youtu.be/e6oLM-BT8WA

Harry and Dragon tend to be interested in the same thing. Here they are trying to get a ball under the couch. Harry had the sense to just try and reach under the couch. Dragon, well, not so much....

So close, yet so far away

Can you help? I'm stuck.
