Well Orianna has definitely been the focus of our lives for the past 4 months, and this one is no different.
She will be 4 months old in November, and she is so anxious to grow. She loves to try to crawl and walk. If she is near any object on the floor she will dedicate herself to slowly crawling toward it. If you hold her she will try to stand and walk on any surface. It's pretty crazy.
She is also very independent. She likes to hold things herself and to move them around, and prefers if you let her rather than try to help her.
Babbling comprises a large chunk of her day. She's big into vowel sounds, but occasionally will discover a consonant. She inherited lungs from both sides of the family, so she has some loud noise making skills. It's super fun!
Tamara and I have been working on the house still. We finished patching the cieling, and have wallpapered some of the kitchen. We are still in the process of getting all our yard work done, but I think it may get postponed till Spring.
Other than that, I have just been working a lot. I was considering switching jobs because I had an offer that would get rid of my commute, but I think I've decided to wait until January before I look into it again.
We hope everyone is doing well. Happy Halloween!!!
-Rob, Tamara, & Orianna

I've been reading some interesting things in one of my classes about how babies are "programmed" to learn. The old idea that we animals are born with instincts, and humans are born with learning is falling out now. It seems humans are born with an instinct to learn. The chapter talked about babies not just picking up language because they were around it, but picking it up because they had a huge desire, and urge to. It's not accidental, but there is a powerful desire to communicate verbally for babies. Interesting stuff.
