Dear Saba (aka my 10 1/2 month old),

Truth be told, right now you are 10 1/2 months old...so I am about a 1/2 month late in writing this post, but you seem cool with my tardiness.
Saba, in a word, you are AWESOME. You have such a little personality of your own. You love to smile at people...in fact, you grin like an idiot at strangers until they acknowledge your smile and give you a smile back...you're kind of demanding like that. You're pretty big about not wasting a smile by not having anyone notice it!
You have a lot of friends that you really enjoy playing with. Most of them are your own age...so, you guys used to sit around like lumps together, but now you are all crawling ALL over one another and taking each others toys...it's pretty darn cute to see you all grow up together.One of your favorite things to play with is your kitchen. You play with it at all times of the day...whether you're dressed or not...that's just how you roll.
And you love to show all of your friends the different ways to play with the kitchen...you've basically figured everything out about it...how to stand on it...how to cook with it...how to rearrange it - yeah, you're slightly obsessed (and mommy's obsessed with putting it all back in order at the end of the day)!You've even learned how to eat wooden eggs! Not many kids can say that!
Just so you know...when you're older looking back at your childhood...I'd like you to know that I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE without people fawning all over you. Whether we're in the store or at the museum people rave about how beautiful you are. And boy, you are BEAUTIFUL. But when it's just you and I, and we're doing our bath routine for the night...I still love to pat your head and tell you that you're just my scruffy little mutt (I don't want your head to get TOO big).
You are my scruffy little mutt...and you couldn't be MORE BEAUTIFUL to me. Thanks for being my amazing baby. Love, Mama
