Aurora's hair

Aurora's hair is finally long enough to put it into one ponytail, we even put a big bow in it.

Here is a picture of her at church.

Here is a close up and one from the back.

Dancing

Here is Aurora dancing with a "prince". Yes my daughter is strange.

Zoo

Yesterday Aurora and I went to the zoo for a couple of hours. Here are some pictures I took. If you look really close on the log in the left corner of the first two pictures there is a duck. Aurora thought it was so funny that there was a duck in with the gorillas.

She loves the petting zoo. She walks around talking to all of the animals and calling the "Little guy". I posted a video of at the end. It is kind of hard to hear so you have to listen closely.

Silly pictures

Here are some pictures of Aurora being silly.

Storytime

Aurora loves to read. She will take books off of her book shelf and sit there reading them, but she has not figured out that there is less to clean up if you put one away as soon as you are done with it before getting another one out. Maybe someday she will figure it out.

Name that song

Right now this is Aurora's favorite song to see. Guess what it is from.

Silly girl

Aurora is just crazy sometimes.

The Princess

I know I should have expected it when I named her Aurora, but I still think it is funny that she thinks she is the princess. She loves to wear her dress anytime I will let her.

Santa

We took pictures with Santa on Saturday. Aurora loves to give Santa a hug and tell him what she wants for Christmas, but when it comes to sitting on his lap she just in not quite sure about that. She could not wait to get a candy cane though.

Aurora's research study

Two weeks ago Aurora was able to participate in a research study up at UCSD. It was a study on the bond between a mother and child. As part of the study they took my picture and the picture of another female that Aurora did not know and showed them to her on a TV screen. She had to wear a special cap to monitor her brain activity to see how it reacted to the pictures. Here is a picture of Aurora wearing the hat. She was so good about it. They had to put the gel that is used in ultrasounds into the little white circles in the cap to get a better picture. Her hair was so gross after, but she had fun and sat still the whole time.

Getting ready for Thanksgiving

Yesterday while we were getting ready to leave for Thanksgiving dinner Aurora disappeared and was very quiet. I found her in the bathroom and she was putting on makeup because she "wanted to be pretty like mommy". Luckly she did not open any of my makeup so she did not get any on, but it sure was cute to watch.

Pedicures

Aurora loves to have her finger and toe nails painted. The other day she brought me some nail polish and asked me to do her toes. After I was done she thought it would be fun to paint her daddy's toes so that the would match hers. After giving him her sad face he let her do it. Of course I had to take it off right after the pictures were taken, but he was a good sport about it.

Next American Idol

SO we finally got a new camera and Aurora is loving it. She loves to have her picture taken and to make videos. All morning she has been asking me to record her and then play it back for her to watch. She thinks she is the cutest, and so do I. I wanted to share some of these with all of you.
