Ally is 10 months old!

And mighty grown-up looking!

Out little sweetheart hit 10 months February 26, and somehow I managed to track her down and keep her in one spot long enough to take a picture for the occassion.

Ally is constantly on the go these days - she's a crawling pro, and recently added cruising to her means of transportation.

It's generally very cute - there are few things more adorable than the determined look of a crawling baby - except when it comes to changing her diaper and getting her dressed. I usually work up a sweat while she works up real tears of dismay at not being allowed to move for the next 60 seconds or so.

Naturally, the 10-month photo shoot had to be quick, as sitting and posing with the teddy bear is no longer entertaining enough for Ally.

That's the point at which I gave up.

Aside from those lovely shots, I'm ashamed to say there is scant photographic evidence of Ally's 10th month, as several of those weeks were spent getting ready for, enjoying and then getting reorganized after a Carribbean cruise.

We had a great time, but I will admit, even on days spent looking at this...

...I was pretty happy to get back and look at this (and big brother, too!)
