Harper's Top 10 Favorite Things (11 months old, April 2009)
Walking. She is still trying to do so independently, but she loves walking behind strollers, grocery carts, hanging onto my legs, along the furniture or the walls. I can't imagine how happy she will be when she can cross the room all on her own, without grabbing her walking toy first.
Bathtime. We call them speedy buns- those naked little cheeks racing to the bathroom when she hears Ian turn on the bath water. She also gets mad when it is time to get out.
Climbing the stairs- her newest feat. She keeps on going to the third floor even though we stop on the second.
Her thumb. Harper's best soother. She plugs it when she is sleepy, shy, quiet or just still.
Wresting with Lucy. See Lucy's top ten.
Ducks. Harper loves them, they are by far her favorite animal. She quacks on command, usually, and of all the animals at the farm or zoo, these are the ones she gets excited about.
Milk- one of my favorite things is when Harper chases me around the house yelling "Mo Mi (lk)" She loves the sight of her bottle and almost never leaves any milk in the bottle.
Goldfish crackers, rice cakes and dried fruit
Pinky Pie. This is a babydoll sized My Little Pony that Lucy got for Christmas a year or so ago. Harper loves this toy. It talks to her, she kisses it, she hugs it and she drags it around like a rag doll.
LaLa. She might be Lucy's but Harper is allowed to play with her. I don't know if it is LaLa's magnetism or the fact that Lucy loves her, but Harper loves her as well.
