Hannah joined a soccer class a few weeks ago. I have fun going to all her practices. They are during the work day so Claudia and I bring our blanket, cheer her on, and get her water ready for her to run in for rest breaks.
We went to St Louis for my cousin Zach's Bar Mitzvah. Our trip started with Dad's favorite thing in the world Nacho Mamas for lunch. It is usually the first thing he does when he is in St Louis. On Friday, all my family came over to meet me and spend time together. I met Aunt Brandi, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Mikael, Uncle Rob, and my cousins Sophie, Maja, Alex, and Ashley. It was so great to finally get to know them. Friday we all went to a pumpkin patch to take family photos. It was really chilly! My first experience with "cold" weather. We had services on Friday night and Saturday morning. Mom, Hannah and I spent most of our time in the hallway playing of course. We are not great at staying quiet during services yet. I went to my first big party Saturday night. Mom carried me in her Ergo carrier and we had fun dancing and talking with family. Grandma and Grandpa had fun introducing us to all their friends and carrying me around . Sunday we went to the zoo. It was fun hanging out with my cousins, aunts, and grandparents. I was pretty good on all my flights. The 3 of us shared a row of seats which worked out well.
Mom had her first night away from me this month. She went on a work trip for 4 days. She was nervous, but we all did great. Grandma and Grandpa babysat the first night because Dad was out of town for a conference too. We all Face timed which helped. Then Dad came back and watched us the rest if the time. We went to the zoo had fun hanging out.
I am still trying new foods each week. So far I have had rice cereal, bananas, avocado, pea purée, and sweet potato. I'm excited to see what's next. I am a big boy and love to try new things.
This month I have still been rolling back to tummy. I learned how to sit and balance
before learning to roll tummy to back which is funny. Everyone thinks my cute chunky legs have slowed me down on that milestone :) I can now roll both ways, but tummy to back is done by pushing up into downward dog position and plopping over. Over the last week I have started pushing up onto all fours and even started rocking back and forth. I'll be crawling soon ! Mom is happy, proud and sad to see me grow up so fast. I like to prop up high to look around when I am on my tummy too. I have fun sitting in my high chair now during meals. Hannah has loved progressing to her big girl booster seat. Another huge milestone this month was graduating from the bassinet in Mom and Dad's room to the crib in my room. This apparently was a hard move for mom, but I was ready and about to outgrow my starter bed. I have also started sleeping through the night 9-12, 12:30-5/6. I have been babbling a lot too. I am not saying words, but I love to make sounds.
I have been to the doctor a few time this month. I have had multiple colds and congestion that I just can't shake. I also had my first ear infection :( Hopefully I am on the mend now. I had my 6 month doctor visit this month and got all my shots. Besides these silly colds, I am a very healthy and happy boy. Compared to the rest of my family I am huge! I weighed 19lbs 2 oz. 71 percentile, was 27 inches long 53 percentile, and my head circumference was 75 the percentile! I am not too far off from Hannah on weight and we actually can share diapers because we wear the same now. Mom says I am a very happy, smiley, good natured, and easy going boy. She always says she hopes I stay this happy forever .
On Oct 23 we had our neighborhood Halloween festival. It was a lot of fun. I got to wear one of my 2 costumes mom handmade for me. I was a gum all machine. I entered my first costume contest and almost won. I was definitely in the top three, but unfortunately the only gave out a first prize.
Oct 31 was such a great day for us. First we celebrated my cousin Miles's first birthday. We wore our costumes, gumball machine for me, and got to see lots of family. Then I made a costume change into my what mom calls our " baby wearing " costume for our big nighttime Halloween party. I was an owl in mom's carrier and she was a tree. We were a dynamic duo. Everyone loved my costume. Once we went trick or treating , I changed into my pjs and she changed to match dad Clark Kent/Superman and Superwoman. She had to pair up with all her boys :) Mom stayed up until 1am for 1-2 weeks straight sewing our costumes. Grandma Angel would be very proud!
Hannah and I already have a special bond. For some reason , she knows exactly how to make me laugh. We feed off of each other and have lots of fund she makes me laugh every day.
