This girl,
at 9 1/2 months old,
changes every day.
Sports has two teeth:
Crawls. In a weird "Does she know that right leg works?" kind of way (11 seconds long):
Pulls herself up to stand.
Feeds herself Cheerios.
Is weaned (*sniff*).
Loves shoulder rides:
Babbles almost all the time.
Snuggles up to my shoulder to bring it within chewing range.
Makes me laugh:
Makes me cry.
Loves electronics (for chewing purposes only).
Imitates zombies:
Turns the pages of books when I read to her.
Bursts out laughing when she sees other kids.
And, my personal favorite, gasps (4 seconds long):
Please never, ever tell me, "Oh, just wait until she's a toddler. It's going to be horrible."
I'd rather not waste time dreading what's coming when I could be enjoying what IS.
