October 2009

Dominic's first Halloween was the highlight of the month. He says he loved dressing up as a duck and trick-or-treating at the next door neighbor's houses! He also really enjoyed the pumpkin outfit his cousin Maeve let him borrow - hand crafted by Great Aunt Noelle!

Grandma Robyn continues to improve. Dominic was excited when the neurosurgeon cleared her to drive so she could come over and play anytime! She finished her radiation treatment and is on to more chemo.

Great Grandma Mari came up from Columbus to visit early in the month. She brought some fun books for Dominic to enjoy!

Dominic discovered his love for straw on an outing to Blake's cider mill mid-month. We met up with Grandpa Ken, Grandma Robyn and cousins Kelly, Tony, Tommy, Gabriella, Nancy, Kevin, Joey, and Kate on a gorgeous fall day.

The most exciting update - Dominic is officially crawling! We're in trouble now. Technically this feat was accomplished in November (2nd), but it's going in the October update anyway. October 20th - November 2nd were a big two weeks. In that time Dominic started clapping, learned to feed himself puffs, and became mobile with crawling. He has also started experimenting with a lot more babbling sounds.
