The wisdom of crowds rarely is in complete agreement when it comes to child raising. Ask opinions, or any subject or raising the tyke you will get 100 different opinions if you ask 100 different people.
Except that it goes by fast. The parental wisdom of crowds is in agreement on only this particular subject - not an outlier to be found - so naturally I wondered if I would agree with them on this. After all, I usual find statements including the words "everyone thinks so," "common wisdom," and "always done this way," to need more examination.
After 10 months I agree. It goes by fast.
Holy crap does it go by fast. The little girl with the stomach the size of a marble is sitting in her high chair refusing food, smiling at the cat, scooting around like a wild woman, all while maintaining a, "What's the problem? I've got this," expression.
I was shocked yesterday when Danielle pointed out that Sienna is ten months old. One would think I was on top of such information all the time. Nope. I'm on top of what to feed her, how she reacts to the universe, and generally trying to figure out how she go so big*.
Yes, time is blazing past already. I now understand why parents get names confused, years confused, and generally compress a decade of time into some form of "that was yesterday, right?" even when it wasn't.
I can't wait for more.

* Mind you, Sienna is in the 4-5% size percentile and people think she is a six month old. How tiny was she when she started daycare? Other children thought she was a doll.
