10 Months is the Perfect Age

DD is 10 months old. She's my first and in my expert opinion, 10
months is the perfect age! smile She crawls well enough that I
don't have to worry about her getting hurt. She hasn't started to pull
up yet so I don't have to worry about falls. She thinks everything
that I do is hilarious. Any household item that I hand her is the best
toy in the world. She only crys when something is wrong and a funny
face usually makes her stop. She can't talk yet so she can't mouth
off. I choose her clothes so I don't have to worry about her dressing
like those awful teenage girls I see in the mall. If she gets hungry
when we are out, I just hand her a cracker.

What's your perfect age?

I don't know, but #2 is 10.5 months old, so I'm experiencing
much the same, with some slight variations. Aside from the pain
of some teeth coming in, it certainly is a good time. ;-)

I have to be honest...until about age 3, mine was perfect :-) At age
11, she is making up for lost time. I envy you right now :-(
ENJOY!!!!

Six months. Sitting up in the high chair. Just beginning solids. Happy and
squealing. Cute as a bug. Not quite mobile yet

I'm amazed how much I'm enjoying my 13 year old. I thought this age was all
about attitude, rebellion, and snoot. And no more hugs.

It's just no more hugs in *public*

hitting three!)

What's your perfect age?

My oldest is almost 4, and I haven't decided yet! She's still a
sweetheart and super easy going, maybe our personalities just mesh
really nicely. My ds is almost 2, and he's a real sweetie too...
I think if you just really enjoy your kids, then they'll always be a
good age. Although...I didn't really like them that much up until 6 or
7 months old or so. Loved them of course, but didn't enjoy that 'baby'
stage.

My mom said she'd like a child that was 3 months old all the time.
Not so tiny anymore, so they can smile and interact, but they still
stay where you put them. I told her that if she wanted that in
grandchildren then she should have had more than two kids.

I don't know that there is a perfect age, myself and I think it varies
maybe according to the kid.

Me too, especially if they don't have any teeth yet. DS#2 is 6.5 mo
now, and sitting, loving solids, full of baby pudge, adorable noises,
and huge gummy guffaws!

OTOH, a nearly-3yo who says, "I lub my special mommy friend" when you
tuck him in at night is pretty sweet, too!

I can assure you that your opinion *will* change. Ten months is a mere drop
in the bucket of parenting!

I happen to particularly like 8-9-10 year olds. My youngest son is eight.
At that age, boys and girls are mostly much on even footing size and
maturity-wise, there's no constant supervision /toddler trauma/imminent
danger, nor teenage angst/hormonal horrors/puberty drama and moodiness.
They are settled in school, can read and write, and tend to *love* school
..Those years are pretty much the Golden Years of Childhood. My
eight-year-old is funny, artistic, sensitive but manly in his own way, and
very devoted to me.

My 12-year-old is totally cool. He's cute, funny, smart, witty, goofy,
unselfconscious, and only sometimes picks on his little brother. :-) He acts
all slick around his friends but is really a pussycat.

I have a 16-year-old as well, and he's awesome . Smart, funny, handsome,
more than a foot taller and 100 lbs heavier than me, loves the same music as
we do (I've already taken him to a few rock concerts). He's my bodyguard and
bouncer.

It's so cool to see them grow up and get a glimpse of the adults they will
become. I never miss the baby days!

Every age has seemed like the perfect age at the time.
