10 months old........Please Please can time slow down??

It's going to fast.....I want to slow it down.......I am trying to soak up every minute with her, but I feel like this is just speeding along too fast for me. Ava is almost 1? I say it, I talk about it with others, but I don't actually believe it! I have to start planning her birthday party because I know it will be here before I know it.

Here is what she is up to at 10 months old.....

- Crawling EVERYWHERE!!

- Standing on everything. She prefers to try and stand without using anything for support, but she can't get all the way up so it looks more like a 4 legged walk and a downward dog. (I think she learned some yoga moves from all those classes I took with pregnant with her)

- Talking, talking, talking up a storm! mama, dada, baba, wawa, rara, yaya, and lots of "yeas" and "hi" (At least that is what it sounds like)

- Still LOVES music!!

- Loves being silly with her daddy.

- Tortures the dog often which does not make him very happy (we have had a few mishaps because of it)


- Will do anything to find and eat paper. (Is this normal?)

- Plays peek-a-boo

- Loves to be in the kitchen with me and "cook" (she has a drawer full of plastic containers and wooden spoons she plays with in the kitchen)

"I will get you pink bunny!" 

"Mom, why did you move me away from the bunny?" 

"This will not stop me!"

"You are mine!"

"Ha, I got you!" (This child is determined!)

And that was the end of the 10 month sticker

I thought maybe I would be more successful attempting this in the crib. 

Nope! All she wants to do is stand up.
