what's good about 10 months

The things I like best about ten and a half month olds are as follows:
her body shaking with joy at seeing her sister run in for kisses;
the way her froggy legs wrap tight around me while she's on my hip;
the coughy-laugh she gets when she's too excited to contain herself ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!;
the look of shock and glee on her face when she pulled herself to standing;
the slobbery kisses;
the beaming smile on her round upturned face every morning;
the way she mimics us singing and talking, shouting ba! ba! da! phffffaaaa! in various tones;
and, perhaps greedily so, the way that, when the day ends, my arms is the best place to be, that I'm her favourite person in the world, still.
