Dear London,
Today you are 8 months old! We've had quite the busy month with lots of fun activities throughout the month of October! Fall is such a great time to spend outdoors, especially here in South Carolina, as the weather has cooled down quite a bit since our 95+ degree summer days. This month we enjoyed apple picking in the North Carolina mountains, a visit to the pumpkin patch, several trips to the zoo, and just last weekend we celebrated your 1st Halloween. We celebrated Halloween twice actually - once at Boo at the Zoo and then again at our neighborhood Halloween parade. Because this was your 1st Halloween, I knew I wanted coordinating costumes for you and Noah, and since you both have a love for Mickey Mouse, I knew dressing you and him up as Minnie and Mickey was the perfect decision ;)
As usual, you've stayed quite busy this month hitting several big milestones, including pulling to stand and just recently, starting to (slowly) cruise along the furniture. You've also started saying "dada" this past month!
Now that Noah is enrolled in preschool 4 days/week, we get to enjoy a lot more one-on-one time together, which has allowed us to attend story time at the library once a week. You seem to enjoy it quite a bit, and it's a great opportunity for you to be around other babies your age.
I can hardly believe that it's November already! Next week we will be celebrating Mommy's birthday, and shortly after that, we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving and getting the house ready for my favorite time of year...Christmas!
Until next time, here are some of my favorite photos from this past month.
"Catch me if you can, Mama!"
Flying baby!
"Good morning, I'm ready to play!"
Gobble, Gobble! Your 1st hand/footprint art ;)
1st carousel ride (you loved it despite the surprised look on your face)!
"Hi, mama!"
Playing peek-a-boo with your reflection ;)

Happy Halloween!
1st day of storytime!
I
don't have any current weight/height stats for you this month (your next check up
is at 9 months). You are now mostly wearing size 9 month clothing and size 3 diapers.
I love you,
Mommy
