10 Months

10 months... 

that is pretty big...

you seem to think so too.

You have really changed a lot.

You are talking, babbling, and singing all the time now.

Here you were definitely telling me something really important.

Mommy and Daddy have really helped this a long by keeping your pacifier away.

You only get to have it at bedtimes and for long rides in the car.

You don't seem to mind...

and we really love to here what you have to say.

You have a very calm and sweet voice...

unless you are yelling...

you can be very loud monster.

Also, new on the scene...

 Yep, you take steps... 

more and more each day.

You took your very first all-by-yourself steps at your great-grandmas house.

Two of them right in a row - you were so excited on the third that you were shanking...

and fell.

I cried a little...

so proud of you and a little sad to say bye to the little baby.

But I am glad to have my toddler.

You do it all the time now.

Crawling is still your preferred transportation...

it is faster...

and very curious monsters, such as yourself, like to go fast.

You are so very curious...

you love bags and boxes... 

drawers and cabinets.

You touch and examine anything new...

turning it over and over in your hands...

experimenting and learning.

Oh, little one...

10 months and it is still speeding by.
