November

November has rushed in to the scene and with it has brought considerably colder weather. We bought Arora a new hat and mittens that are to big right now but very cute on her. I thought she might out grow the infant sized one before the winter ended. I wish I could post a picture of her she is looking so much more like a little person and not a baby. I think we might buy a little disposable or two to last for awhile. I would hate to not have a camera when she really starts walking.
We had the lady from Parents as Teachers (a great FREE program) here in rexburg come over this week. She evaluated Arora and gave us great ideas on how to play with her and help her develop. She is advanced in her gross and fine motor skills and her social habits but is a little lacking in communication and following directions. So we have room to grow as parents. It is nice to have someone come to our home who is really interested in our child's well being, and knows how to help us grow.
Arora is being quite the pill when it comes to feeding her. She is not wanting to eat anything from a spoon anymore and will spit her food out all over. Last night she was even spitting out her favorite finger food, frozen peas. So I don't know what to do about that. I'm glad she is a good nurser so I know she is getting enough to eat.
I sent off the application for her birth certificate and paid the extra $5 for them to do an express order. I am getting so excited to fly back home, I want to start packing! I know it would be unpractical and would have to unpack and repack again.
I checked my grades today and have a 93% in both classes! I am quite proud of myself. I will be signing up for classes for winter classes(full-time eek!)on Tuesday.

Hey Holly!! I totally want to get together but I work during the week. :( I don't go to work until 10:30 but with morning nap time that wouldn't give us much time to play...what does your weekend schedule look like? Good job on the good grades!!
