October

Page has turned into a big girl overnight! It makes me a little sad to see her growing up. Page likes to walk backwards, sings along to her favorite cartoon theme songs, knows she's 2 years old, says Halloween so sweet, loves to balance by walking lines and curbing, can count to 3, has started repeating the things we say, likes to swing on the big girl swing, asks why, likes to learn new words and point to body parts, has become quite polite with "please," "thank you," & "sorry," says 3-4 word sentences, is organized with her play, and she is becoming very independent!

Page started a pre-preschool class this month and is learning letters, numbers, shapes, and colors as well as doing music, story time, science, and art! She also started a dance class and is loving it!

We kept busy this month with Pa Tony's birthday celebration, a play date with JJ, started a garden, celebrated Grandma Beth's birthday at Sour Dough Pizza, went to Ethan's 1st birthday party at Tumbleweed park, and got to see Aunt Heidi and the rest of the Hickman family!

We also had lots of Halloween fun! We decorated, went to the Pumpkin and Chili Party at Schnepf Farm, walked the neighborhood many times admiring the decorations, went to Boo at the Zoo with Grammy, had fun at the Crane's Halloween party, carved pumpkins, had a great Halloween Party at school, and loved Trick or Treating :) The holidays are just so much fun with kids!!

In other news, little Page had a head cold earlier this month. She also had an EDG with biopsies at Phoenix Children's Hospital. The biopsy results show no allergies but esophageal irritation consistent with reflux. We will continue with Zantac and discuss other options at next months appointment. Page has been refusing 2-3 of her 4 glasses of milk for the last couple of weeks so she will have a weight check tomorrow. She has been eating well though ;)

Never a dull moment at the Hickman house! We love our sweet girl so very much and are so proud of the little person she is becoming!!
