...ten months...

Laci is ten months old today.

Where is the time going?  

I can't believe she is so close to being a year old.

She took another step for her Auntie Beth today.

Why didn't time pass this quickly when I was little?

For my mom, I'm sure it did.

Yesterday, Laci and I sat on the picnic table in the yard,

ate graham crackers,

and watched the cars drive by. 

She loves to watch cars, especially the loud ones.

She loves grahams crackers and can make a royal mess with them.

She wanted the whole cracker,

not cracker pieces,

and for once, she didn't choke herself on giant chunks of food.

She didn't want her picture taken.

She was spinning around in circles on her butt to avoid me, a new skill she practices often.

Mostly in the bathtub, but also when she thinks she has something awesome that no one else should have.

Such as, a graham cracker.

I was having problems focusing the camera.

Partially because my subject would

Not. Hold. Still.

But also because there was a giant smear of gooey graham cracker across the lens,

which I didn't find until later when I put my lens cap back on.

Graham crackers are awesome.

I know she won't remember this day.

But I will.

Because graham crackers are awesome

(especially with cream cheese).

And because I wrote it down.

Blogs are awesome too.
