October was a busy month! It seemed we traveled somewhere each week. We went to grandma and grandpa's cottage where you, grandpa and I went for a hike to see the beautiful fall colours. We went for a walk with your girlfriends at the Johnville Bog. We went to Cornwall to visit Frank and Janie, and we went shopping in North Conway.
You're so close to walking! You stand on your own easily now and I can tell you want to walk, you just don't quite have the confidence to take those first steps yet. But you walk easily when we hold your hands, and even quite well when we're holding just one hand.
Your personality is shining through more and more now, too. You don't like to stay seated at restaurants too long anymore. The last few times we've been to a restaurant you're gotten frustrated and fussy. Looks like we'll be staying home more now. But now you're started feeding yourself with your own spoon. And god forbid I should try to feed you myself! No, no! You need the spoon in your own hand so you can feed yourself directly. Makes for some very messy mealtimes, but it's so wonderful to see you stating your independence already.
We're still waiting for that first word. There was one day when you were in your playpen and you wanted to get out. You put your hands out and said "mama. mama". It was clear and distinct and I was so happy! But since then you've just been talking in your own language. It will come soon, I'm sure.
And of course October is the month of Halloween! You were so cute in your leopard costume. You wore it to daycare and you wore it trick or treating at grandma's. You are still too young to trick or treat around the neighborhood. Maybe in another year or two.
Speaking of daycare, you are absolutely loving it there! You are so happy to see your friends each morning and when I come to pick you up in the evening you don't want to leave. Sabrina is so great with you, and all the kids, and it's great to see you mimicking what some of the older kids are doing. It's obviously having a great affect on you, so I'm so happy we found her.
All in all it's been an eventful, exciting month for you, and for us! Can't wait to see what November has in store. Perhaps this time next month we'll be writing about your first steps?
Much love,
Mom and dad
