October 2012. We put together a separate post for vacation and Halloween so we won’t spend too much time on that here. This month Curie’s bottom two teeth came in, she started saying “hi” to everyone (after her cousin Olivia kept saying it when she and Taylor came down for her birthday), loves to dance, play on the piano, and tap and strum on the guitar. She learned to eat with chopsticks and a fork (sort of) while in London, she takes off her shoes and socks when she is bored or mad because she knows she is not supposed to. She listens to instructions well, or at least understands them, following them is a different story. She likes to feed us when she has food an loves fish at the National Aquarium; in November we will be going to the Georgia Aquarium which is one of the biggest in the world. She likes to draw with her markers (thank you Crayola Wonder Markers), and on her Magna Doodle; and if you have a pen she will grab it and pretend to write. On the plane, 7 to 10 hours she ran back and forth in the space at our feet and made a very big mess with her snacks. Her hair is getting long, she is outgrowing her clothes, and soon she will be too big for her car seat. Where does the time go? At least she still sleeps on your shoulder in the morning and warms your chest and your heart.
