A month in the life of Harry Tobias

Harry has recently begun to say the word 'no', shaking his head as he does so. Sometimes he says it spontaneously while crawling after 'forbidden' items such as Mummy's pot plants, stones and dirty leaves. He makes a repeated dash for such objects even when regularly moved away from them.
