Tomorrow Simone will be TEN months old. How are we already in the double digit months?! That seems all out crazy to me. And, everyone was right. The first year is FLYING by. Since she's hitting the big 1-0 tomorrow I figured I better post her nine month favorites. Of course, it's all about the toys right now, or the things she WANTS to be toys. Here are her top dogs.

| Leap Frog Music Table - Chatter Telephone - Mega Blocks Wagon |
I will say the blocks top everything. While we were on vacation in late July Grandma in Michigan had this set & Simone would carry a block everywhere she went. That meant when I got home, I was on the hunt for the same wagon & blocks. Luckily, I found it quickly and now we have our very own set up here.
Simone's crawling has turned from cute little army crawls around a small area, into a little speed demon tearing ass across our house. She is wicked fast (said in a Boston accent) & I can usually be found just trying to keep up. She's also in full on "pull up and walk around the couches, end tables, coffee tables, cabinets, whatever she can grab" phase, too. I'm not sure exactly what this is called... but I call it "give Mom a heart attack every five minutes or so".
I've had to remove all of my cute decorations from end & coffee tables. She will literally throw anything she gets her sweet little mittens onto across the house. It was turning into a shit show of me picking it all up and trying to teach her "no". Clearly, she doesn't get it yet... or doesn't want to. Either way we've packed away most of the decorative items for a later date.
We recently started Simone in gym classes & swim lessons. I'm going to dedicate posts to both and where we've decided to join soon. She is absolutely LOVING being around other kids and I'm LOVING her getting out some of her endless energy.
More soon. I'm off to get a facial at a spa right now. Wait, WHAT?! No, seriously... this Mom needs some "ME" time in the worst way today. Make sure you're taking some for yourself, too!
