10 months already!!!

Well, Kennedy is officially 10 months old. Before you have your baby, everyone always tells you, "cherish every moment because they grow up too fast". You just don't understand the meaning of that until you have your own child. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. Sure, I'm sad that I'll be going back to work soon but that's not all. My baby is no longer a baby! I've said to Kevin a few times lately that it is hard to think of her as a baby; she is so independent. She is completely mobile, will not let anyone feed her and drinks from a straw! All she wants to do these days is stand, so before long she'll be walking and then she really won't be a baby anymore. Some days I miss my baby; the tiny, dependent baby I came home from the hospital with; she needed me for everything! Of course, I love this stage of discovery too; she's so inquisitive and wants to see/do everything. Every day is better than the last. Plus, she has such a personality that she's a blast to be around! Anyway, it's just so hard to believe that they really do grow up too fast. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.
