Vale Harry Lewis, Baby 41

Here we remember my 41st baby and 28th son, Harry.

I went into labour for the 32nd time eating a hot dog.

Harry Lewis, my 41st baby, was born in my bathroom!  He was named after Harry Potter (sharing a birthday with him) and his dad.

Harry as a toddler!  He had the Silly trait.

Harry was a toddler during our first Winterfest.  Here he is receiving a present from Father Winter!

Playing with big brother Finn.

Harry as a child.  He gained the Goofball trait and had the Social Butterfly aspiration.

Hugging big brother Reilly at Finn's wedding.

With Beckett and Finn at the spice festival.

Beckett and Harry mucking around in the pool.

Harry's birthday!

Harry as a teenager.  He gained the Foodie trait and his aspiration was Master Chef.

The aspiring chef got to cook the grand meal for Harvestfest, under my guidance.

Proud of his excellent tofurkey.

Being cute with little brother Elliot.

Harry subsequently catered for all our events.

He was never happier than when he was cooking!

Harry's 18th!

Harry Lewis as a young adult!  His final traits were Neat, Compassionate and Responsible.  Naturally, he joined the culinary career straight away!

A selfie with his dad.

These three were thick as thieves... Babies 40, 41 and 42, Reilly, Harry and Beckett.  I like to refer to them as Simon, Felix and Max reincarnated (Babies 13, 14 and 15) since they are three singleton boys in a row, bookended by sisters.  (Rhys, Cameron and Hugo were also three singleton sons in a row but twin brothers came before them!)

Feeding newborn sister Esme.

Harry having umbrella trouble.

Harry accompanied us on our trip to Selvadorada.

Chats with mum.

With little brother Claus.  Harry and Beckett moved out together.

Secret pool meeting: Harry, Elliot and me.

The first time we saw Harry as an elder he pulled this on us!

Happy Campers

It's so nice to have a living scarecrow to maintain your garden for you.

 Hey Beau!

 Aiden hanging with dad.

 So sweet.

 Finley and Declan being cute.

 Superhero? 

 Uh-oh, I've aged into an adult!  As I am now halfway through my challenge, I now need to be halfway through adulthood. 

 Why so sad, Claus?  It's because we received the news that Baby 41, Harry, had passed away.  His eulogy will follow.

 But now it's time for a birthday.

 Go Claus!

 He does the superhero thing too!

 Poor Beckett was so upset about Harry.

 Baby 47, Claus Nicholas, as a young adult!  He gained the Clumsy, Mediator, Compassionate and Responsible traits.  He joined the science career too!

 Who are these cuties?  They're Esme's twins, Toni and Greta!

 Claus being cute with Louis in the pool.

 Louis and Finley having a chat.

 But both sad.  Check out those scowls. 

 Finley and Declan being cute again.

 Holly, Louis and Finley sleeping.  This is the first time I've had three toddler beds.  Any other time I've had three toddlers at once I've had them share or sleep on chairs like the great mother I am. 

 Holly meeting our ghost dog Joey!

 Otis reading to Holly.

 Triplet toddlers looking adorable!

 Well, I think three cakes can only mean one thing...

 Holly blows out her candles with the help of mum.

 Claus helps Louis.

 And Declan helps Finley!

 Baby 51, Holly, as a child.  She has the Athletic trait and the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

 Baby 52, Louis, as a child.  He has the Neat trait and the Social Butterfly aspiration. 

 Baby 53, Finley, as a child.  He has the Bookworm trait and Whiz Kid aspiration.  

All three triplets also have the Happy Toddler trait and the special trait Father Winter's Baby.  I wonder if it gives them anything special, like the ability to squeeze down chimneys or something?

 The parents of the triplets, Herbert and Arden.

 Louis, Aiden, Finley and Holly playing our new Don't Wake the Llama game. 

 I sat all the kids down one night to deliver some special news (well, Declan stood).  L to R: Louis, Finley, Otis, Holly, me, Aiden, Claus and Declan.

"Guess what kids?  We're going camping in Granite Falls!"

This was especially exciting for Declan, as he has the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration (I also gave it to myself whilst we were there).

 And before you know it, we're fishing.

 And pitching tents (we required two).

 And brewing up some camping grub.

 Dinner time with Claus, Louis, Aiden, Otis, mum, Finley and Holly (Deccy was collecting/fishing, bless).

 Mum tells a scary campfire story.

But it wasn't as scary as Claus'!

 Pretty bugs!

Louis and Claus playing horseshoes.

 Unfortunately, it did rain quite a bit whilst we were there.  Finley determinedly holds his umbrella!

 Clausy boy cooking breakfast whilst the masses snooze.

 Mama's a-fishin' when this potential father material whips out his massive rod...

Women were accosting Claus at every turn!  What a casanova.  Only joking, the only true casanova I ever knew was good ole Don Lothario.  I even had a baby with him... she was my fourth baby (Faye).  Feeling real old...
