Hi everyone,

Welcome to the October 2008 Babies community, where we chat about our October 2008 children and whatever else is on our minds!

To get things started, I thought it would be nice if we all introduced ourselves in this thread, which will be pinned to the community home page. Whether you're a Circle of Moms veteran or you're new to the site, let us know who you are, what you’re interested in, and what your lovely October 2008 child is up to right now, developmentally speaking!

My name is Shoshana Fuller I am married to the love of my life, April will be two years married and five years together total. We have a beautiful baby boy who is 17 months old, he's learning to play T-Ball and Football. Loves his grandpa's police suburban and the sirens, and enjoys eating ALL the time..He's a great eater, but small for his size, which is funny both my husband and I are small. Were expecting our second baby boy June 30th and are very excited to complete our family and my husband looks forward to having a baseball team of son's and nephews : )

Hi my name is Tracy and I'm a full time mum to four girls, Kiera 10yrs, Erin 8yrs, Kerry 4yrs and Brónach was born on the 26/10/08. She is currently cutting the last of her back teeth, no crying but lots of nappy rash. She is going through a biting stage, possibly due to her teething but her sisters tend to be on the receiving end of it. My older three didn't bite so this is new to me, any info on stopping it would be a great help. Thanks T.

hi im dorothy, a proud sahm to mason born 3rd oct 08. love spending time with him. he loves to play in the park especially the swings (cant walk by the park or he cries wanting to go in) he was always a timid child, too scared to try anything but now he wants to try everything, to test his limits. i spend my days telling him to be careful, he wants to climb everything, touch and have everything. hes a great natured child, has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months, started sleeping in his own room at 9 months. got his 1st tooth at 11 months and 3 more by the time he was 12 months but i had to wait til now before any more decided to come. he started walking at 1 yr old and theres been no stopping him since. looking forward to many more milestones to come

Hello! My name is Megan and I am the mom of a beautiful little boy named Aiden. He was born on October 15th, 2008; He was actually three weeks early originally due November 3rd. He was a little unexpected, but not unwanted. My boyfriend, Kyle, and I love him dearly. He makes us laugh hysterically everyday. He was a little bit of a late bloomer on the walking. I think he didn't get the hang of it until after a year and now that he is a year and a half, I'm not worried that he's not talking yet. lol. Okay, I am a little, but he points and gestures, it's just a matter of correlating the words with the objects. The only words he does say are "hi", "dada", and "night". :)



I am, as of now, 21 years old and my boyfriend is 23. We are currently in the process of getting our degrees. I am struggling, when I say struggling I mean STRUGGLING, to become a registered nurse and he is succeeding in becoming a surgical technician. We work in the restaurant business and let's just say, when we're finally done with college, we won't miss it. :)

hi everyone,

I'm Porteria first time mom to Joshua Elijah born Oct 6. I a currently a SAHM, but hoping to get back into the job market soon. Joshua LOVES Mickey Mouse. Any and everything Mickey Mouse. He's also such a boy, who loves playing with his cars, banging anything around him, playing daddy's video games, and playing in dirt. Joshua has 12 teeth in total, 6 on the top and bottom. My poppa bear is also allergic to milk, eggs, and cheese so it's kinda tough feeding the lil guys a variety of food....He currently weighs in a 22 pounds but he's also 3 feet tall and has been walking since he was 10months

Ok so this year for my daughters birthday, I want to have a Halloween themed birthday party. I really want to get one og those 3D castle birthday cakes and have it decorated up like a haunted castle. Then have a fun Halloween theme. Nothing scary.



I did look up and a lot of people do a whole pumpkin patch theme, but I want it to be more traditional Halloween themed then that. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I want my daughter to get the full effect of the house all decorated with spiderwebs, etc. Then her party will be wear the costume type thing.



Is it bad to want to do this? We won't do it every year... but we will do it more than once. It will be good for the neighborhood kids too. Instead of trick-or-treating (which is lame in our town... no ones ever home to give out candy), they can come to har party (or in addition to). It will be a safe environment and they'll get lots of candy AND my daughter will get to have freinds over for her celebration.

Hi I'm DeAnne and we are from Livermore, CA. I'm a first time mom and my Oct 08 baby is Zachary and he was born on the 16th. I am new to this site and love reading all the posts as it makes me feel better that, "I'm not the only one" dealing with certain stuff. I just started working out of my house and today is Zach's first day at daycare. I balled my eyes out. Zman is into everything and has been walking since he was 10 months old. Not really talking yet, we only have a few words and not one of them is mommy yet. lol. He is super funny and always making us laugh. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Hi,
My name is Julia and I'm a first time mom to James Ernesto he was born on Halloween 08. Its funny because that was my due date and out he came. My husband was in the Navy and was in Japan and just came home and I went into labor 3 hours after he got here. =) James is growing so fast. He has had his 2 bottom teeth since he was 5 months, and he started walking in Jan 2010. Yea he was a lazy one! Right now he is a very picky eatter but he loves to drink water, so thats a plus. I am trying to start to potty train him and I have one of those toilets that sings and he loves it so far. We'll see in time if it becomes a distraction or not.

Hi, I am a the proud mommy of a 17 month old princess! I enjoy crafting, scrapbooking, reality crime shows, and spending time with my baby girl. I am fortunate to be a stay at home mom, my daughter is "attachd to my hip" most of the time...lol. She is definitley a mommy's girl, she started walking at 9 months, and was off the bottle at 10 months ( she was never very attahed). She is saying appx. 15-20 words. Although if she doesn't know you, you would never believe it. She has 8 front teeth, and as we speak she has 8 molars coming in. She is very dainty, it seems everywhere we go we hear that, she weighs 18lbs. and wears size 12m, in some stuff 6-9m. I wonder often if she is really that small for her age, she weighed only 5lbs at birth so seems fine to me, and her pediatrician. Anyway that is a little about me , and a lot about my princess. I look forward to chatting with all of you! :)

She's learning to read which is very exciting :) Kenzie is my Ocotober baby. She was born on the 27th. She's my little mini-me which is nice because Kylie looks just like her daddy! Kenzie loves to dance and swing. Her favorite thing seems to be dogs which she calls "pups". Well she calls pretty much all animals pups lol.

Hi, my name is Vicky and my daughter Grace was born on 30th of October. She is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I just love that I get to spend every minute of every day with her! I have a 14 year old step son also who adores her. Grace is just starting to walk on her own now, but she lacks confidence when doing it but she will get there eventually! Her favourite word at the moment is "ducky".

HI,

I'm Hannah and a PROUD SAHM to Ava. She was born 10-9-08. She is our only child, and will remain that way. I have a 10cm ARachnoid cyst on my brain, that they found when i was pregnant with AVa. She was born a month early due to that. She LOVES outside!! She is NOT a homebody. We go on long hard walks (so i can get my exercise), we go to the park and she LOVES the slides. We go to the zoo at least once a week, now that it's warming up. We bought her her first Radio Flyer wagon, with the seats and the cupholders, and the straps for the seats, she LOVES IT! WE do too. She is FINALLY starting to like grass, and will walk in it. She has a 7yr. old cousin that she adores and tries to copy everything Brayley does. She loves to run around and for us to chase her. She has a HUGE personality, she is very loving and sweet and cuddly, but on the other hand she LOVES to rough house. I love my little Ava, and would not have it any other way! I look forward to watching her grow!

He's getting his molars and we're working on weaning him off the bottle. Very curious and loves to explore. Points at all kinds of things. Trying to talk but we communicate back and forth pretty well.

James is my first bub and my husband and I do hope to have more sometime soon. Our little boy has been walking for about 3 months now but has been climbing on chairs etc, since way before he could walk. He has such a wonderful personality and we feel blessed to have such a character for a child:) He is also gradually learning new things to say, and can recognise close family members (and say their names) from a photograph. It's great being a Mum:)

I work part time at Home Depot in Wenatchee, WA but will be starting school online full time in about a month. Will prob quit my job then. Lilly is a very happy/opinionated toddler and is starting to throw fits when she doesn't get her way, we just ignore her then. She says quite a few words and is pretty good at expressing herself. We are thinking about getting a toddler bed so we don't have to buy 2 cribs, not sure if she is ready for it.

We have blocks in towers all over the house. It is so funny to watch her go from tower to tower. Her teeth have been slow to come in. She still only has 6 teeth 4 on top 2 on the bottom. She is walking and chattering up a storm.

Hello there mamas! I am new to this group and Circle of Moms. I am a single mom to my beautiful 16 month old daughter, Emma. She has been walking since 10 months and is very active. She has been a little chatter box for several months now and has a good comprehension of words but is not saying a whole lot of words. I am really starting to work with her on speaking and am using the help of "Your Baby Can Read". Some of my interests are: transitioning a bed-sharing toddler to toddler bed, gentle discipline for toddlers, attachment parenting, single mom support/divorce mom support.

Hello everyone! My name is Nicole. I am a 23 year old mom of my first born Tyler. He was born on October 1st. He was due the 19th of september. I was induced on the 28th of September. Ya, thats how stuborn my son was even before he popped out my belly. I work full time at work, and at home. Since Tylers dad isn't willing to grow up yet, I take on full responsibilty for him. Wich is great for me, cause hes my best friend! Even though we biker all the time. He amazes me every day that such a little person can understand and know so much. Hes class clown just like me, and theres not a day that goes by that we dont laugh at eachother! When he grows up, I think he might be a stunt devil. Right now in my life, im just trying to consintrate on being a great mom. Hoping that finding someone for myself will come along some day! This is the first time in my life that im going to be doing it on my own. And im really scared!

Hi, I'm Jennifer.

Brenna was born on the 27th and is my third child, my only girl. She has eight front teeth and is getting her molars. She cruises around the house a lot and holds her brothers hands to walk, but is afraid to let go and go on her own. She likes to play ball and chase her brothers. She likes to babble and will say some words. I am excited to be a part of circle of moms. What a great idea. I look forward to seeing everyones kids grow.
