10 Month Miss

Dorothea Loves:

• Pulling Henry's hair. Her face lights up when she sees he is close, his head is within reaching distance and he is turned away. Best time to strike.
• Looking at books. Whenever I pull a book out now she closes her right hand and sticks out her little pointer to point at the book along with mommy. 
• Sneaking into Grammy/Henry's bathroom, and holding onto the step stool. Usually with a little dancing.
• Pulling up on things just the right height and dancing around.
• Pulling DVDs and books out of the shelf and anything she can off the shelf or table.   
• 
  
  
  
• Any and all tubes and containers of lotion or other like products. I took sunscreen away from her the other day and I'm sure neighbors thought I was cutting off her hand.
  
• Being messy. She is a pretty messy little eater. 
• Mangos, peaches, rice cakes, avocado, cottage cheese, chicken and any time she can get a taste of something cold and sweet like ice cream.
  
• Mommy. She is definitely a mommy's girl. A little more so than mommy would like, in fact. 
• Being outside, especially on the grass.
  
• Watching Henry sword fight, wrestle or anything like it.
  
• Talking.
• Remote controls.
• Singing. Especially "On The Good Ship Lollipop" My mom sings it to her and she just loves it for some reason more than any other song.
• Crawling from wherever she is to welcome Grammy home. I think it's because she hears the grage opening and knows that means she's back whereas Johann comes through the front door so you can't hear it. 
  
  
  
  
• Playing with the magnets on the refrigerator. 
• Hitting things-bongos, xylophone, etc.

Dorothea Does Not Love:

• Having things taken away. At. All. Ever.
• Sleeping in her crib.
• Being put down on the ground.
• Nap time.
  
• Traveling in the car. Though she has mostly gotten use to it now.
• Being held by strangers or people who are not mommy or daddy and sometimes grammy. 
• Having her diaper changed.
• Anyone going into the bathroom and closing the door. 
• Vacuuming. 
• Loud noises.
• Teething. 

Happy 10 months, Dorothea! =)
