April 13, 2000 - Thursday
I'm home and right away I noticed that Harry has changed. His face, at least this morning, was much more animated as he tries out new facial expressions in rapid succession. He also has a wider variety of noises that he apparently worked up while I was away; some of them very charming and others less so. And, before this week, he would mostly practice one at a time; a joy when it was something like his loving "oohing" sound, less ideal when it was his nasal whine. Today, though, he moved back and forth between different vocalisms quite agilely.

I also see a physical change in Harry. His face has lost some of its newborn puffiness and that's making his chin and neck more visible than before. Yet, what was most striking is that the face breaking through the disappearing baby jowls is distinctly his mother's and, at times, remarkably similar to her baby pictures. Many friends and family already believed he looked like his mother, his eyes the same almond shape and his forehead sculpted, but now the likeness seems even more pronounced. And that's fine with me, since I like the way his mother looks.
