I stayed home sick from work today, and the house seemed so empty. So quiet. Too quiet. It's hard to remember what things were like before Audrey. Quiet, I suppose, but oh so boring!
~Top Ten Things To Love About You at 10 Months~
1. How much you continue to love my version of Barbara Ann. This is the one thing that I can do, no matter how upset you are about something, that instantly calms you. It is a favorite on our car rides.
2. How your wave always stops me from what I am doing, to wave back. It's irresistable.
3. How you've managed to cut two bottom teeth and two incisors, BEFORE ANY FRONT TEETH! A true Hoosier, I'm afraid.
4. How excited you are to see me when I pick you up at daycare. I am not allowed to do anything but scoop you up - first - and then gather up all your belongings with one hand, you in my other arm.
5. How you "run" to whatever your target is when you realize we are coming to redirect you as we've just told you "no".
6. How much you love "big orange cup" in the bath. I use this to rinse her hair. When I tip her head back, I must tickle her chin because she starts to giggle every time. Then, she holds her breath and waits...waits...for the water to pour over her. Still holding her breath, she looks to me for my reaction. As much I hate water in my face, I reassure her that this was fun, and she gives a big grin.
7. How you SHOVEL (with your LEFT hand!) your various meals into your mouth. Such a fool I was to ever try to feed you from a spoon.
8. How you love dancing with me to some Harry Connick on our days at home. You especially love the "dips" and "twirls".
9. How you love to watch for daddy from the front window. I know he's home when I hear you giggling at something he's doing thru the window!
10. How you decided to say "mama" and "dada" at the same time this past weekend. So impartial!
