Halloween and Takin' Steps!


Halloween was so much fun this year! I got to dress up as my favorite animal - a monkey! I was a sock monkey, to be exact! My day started with a visit to the playgroung, with Daddy and Papi -- there was a parade and a big party. There were so many kids and cool costumes, I had a really good time. Then we went to Prospect Park Zoo and met Cri, Pete and Sofia. We saw lots of cool animals ... and I actually noticed some of them this time! After that I went home with Cri, Pete and Sofia for a Halloween sleepover! We did a little trick-or-treating while Daddy and Papi went to a grown-ups party. All in all, I decided that I really like Halloween!
On Monday I went to the doctor for my one year check-up. I got four shots, which was not fun at all - but overall she says I'm doing great! I'm 31.1 inches (84th percentile), 24lb 11oz (72 percentile) and my head is 48.8cm (95th percentile). My head is no longer off the charts!
Today I went to music class again with Papi. I was having so much fun and was feeling pretty confident. Papi was sitting on the floor and I was standing next to him and holding on. A new song that I liked began so I started bouncing a little and decided to let go of Papi and take a few steps on my own! It was a first and I was very proud! I was a bit of a trendsetter -- a few minutes later one of my classmates took his first steps too! When class was over we called Daddy to tell him. Tonight at home I did it a few more times and we all clapped for me. This walking thing might really get me places!
