This has been a very busy month for us! From our first trip to Victoria, which I’ve barely even started writing about, we have been Go, Go, Go! October is always a busy month, with Thanksgiving, a trip to the Pumpkin Patch and of course, Aiden’s upcoming 3rd birthday! Damien had one cold during the month and some teething bouts, but overall has been great. 

• Weighs around 15lbs
• Regressed for sleep for most of the month with 1 extra feed, but is back to 12-13 hours with 1 feed at 10:30
• Naps 3-4 times a day, mostly 30-40 minutes. Has taken one perfect day of 1hr, 2hrs, 30mins!
• Began blowing raspberries
• Loves the bath. He literally kicks up a storm – there’s usually water all over the counter, the floor and him!
• Has taken 2 baths with Mommy and Aiden. We all loved it. 
• New sounds include Baa, Ha, Oowhee, Hella
• Has tried very small amounts of rice cereal, banana, apple, mum mums, toast
• Often coos first thing in the morning. It’s a beautiful sound. 
• Began screeching both when happy and when annoyed – not his nicest noise!
• Seems to recognize his name
• Will begin smiling during the first couple of words of his favourite songs
• Favorite place is Gymboree
• Very fast roller! I love it when he goes tummy-back-tummy and think he may realize this is a mode of movement at some point!
• Began chewing on Sophie the Giraffe – favourite toy so far
