Comments for Harriet is Ten Months Old
Harriet is Ten Months Old: 07/06/07
Yesterday Harriet turned ten months old. We celebrated (and escaped the heat) by having a lovely family dinner at Chevy's where Harriet had a happy meal of guacamole and turned herself green in the process.
Harriet is a lovely and jolly person who adores her brother and can keep up her side of the conversation. Already she and Sean have become competitive and she often wants what he's having or wants to do what he's doing. Now she's developed the art of pointing at whatever it is she wants, especially if it is to point out something that Sean has or is doing!
Her favorite creature though, is still Caligula. Put her in the same room as the cat and she will burst into peels of laughter. Fortunately Caligula seems to like her too, especially now that she's old enough to pet her. If Harriet could have her way, Caligula would be sleeping in her crib. Sean though, has a "no cats allowed" rule for their bedroom so Harriet will have to wait until she can have a room of her own before Caligula (or some other cat) can share her bed.
In terms of milestones, Harriet is still putting most of her work into talking, eating and using her hands. Don't leave mechanical items around her as she is likely to take them apart! Her vocabulary is growing at a rapid pace and includes: Sean, Caligula, Mama, Dada, "How are you?", bottle, no, "good girl", "night-night", tickle, good, and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
She can move around when she wants to but so far she's shown almost no interest in trying to pull to standing, cruising, or crawling. I have seen her roll a few times to get to her toys although now she seems to be favoring either the butt-scoot or the arms-only dragging of her body towards something. The farthest she's ever gotten is about two feet.

Harriet is an absoloute doll! I can't wait to hear more about her.
Happy 10 month, Harriet!
It's a blessing she's so happy and "agreeable". Some children do not like kitties or their siblings. Enjoy!
She's such a cutie! "
