i realized today that it is october. it's fun to be sitting in the rain, i mean in cleveland, in the fall. the leaves, it's not 90* outside, there's rain... classic fall. but i also realized that i would never want to give up what i have (read san diego, palm trees, no rain, the ocean, the mountains, predictable weather...) to have a few leaves change on the trees. i love my home, my life, my friends (not that i don't love all of you not from san diego...). it's a good life!
wow, it's october! september just FLEW by... and if we are being honest, so did august! between having my parents in town, getting ready for bible study to start, bible study starting, moving from two naps to one nap a day and then leaving to go to chicago-cleveland, it's been busy! we have a nice little routine. tuesdays and thursdays are bible study mornings. so, those days are shot, because by the time we get home, nora has usually fallen asleep in the car and sleeps all afternoon. "life moves pretty fast. if you don't stop and look around once an awhile, you could miss it." -ferris bueller's day off
so, nora. on friday, we flew to chicago for my 5 year college reunion. there was a breakfast, a block party, a game... it was a lot of fun, except that i was the ONLY one at the breakfast! a bunch of my parents friends were there, and when we told them i was the only one to show, they all said... "no one comes to the five year, anyway"! that would have been great info BEFORE i bought my plane ticket!!! it was fun, however, to be with the fam. alyssa is looking at my alma mater, and it was fun to see all that they had done with north park! so, back to nora... it's the first time we have flown since nora could walk. she definitely wasn't loving being cramped up for the first three hour flight. but, she napped for some of it. our second flight, however, was FIRST CLASS!! it was so nice. there was so much room. and, i didn't have to worry about nora kicking the seat or the person next to me!!! she couldn't reach any of them!! and, bean shows were a lifesaver (baby einstein dvds!!!).
on the plane, she discovered she could say "uh oh". it's SO CUTE!!! i will try to get a video. but, she just says it constantly! she has also learned that she can bite. not fun. so, i smack her mouth when she does it. now, she will go to bite you, remember that it's not okay, and kiss you instead! she has also gotten very good about waiting to hold your hand when in public, or when she is trying to go up or down stairs. it's so precious to see this little hand and sweet face looking up at you!
also, she loves her book "nora's room". that's the book i am reading in the video. she will do motions to that, or to itsy bitsy spider, and many other things! we don't even need the book nora's room anymore... we can all quote the ENTIRE thing!!! one less thing to pack for the plane!!
more pics to come!!!
