Dorothy learned to blow raspberries a few weeks ago. For a few days, she was obsessed with doing it all the time, then she seemed to sort of forget about it. But the other day, I was blowing raspberries at her to try to distract her when she was fussy, and I apparently reminded her of it, because she's been doing it to us more again.
This morning, she was sitting up with me in the living room, and the oscillating fan was on. For a few cycles, she looked very surprised each time the fan turned to blow on her, but didn't seem to know what was going on. Then she noticed where the air was coming from, and intently watched the fan go back and forth for a little while. Finally, she must have decided that it was trying to play with her. Each time the fan would turn to blow on her, she would blow raspberries back at it! Then she would giggle until it turned back to her again.
