Where did my baby go?

 I know it's been a while since I've posted, I've had a lot going on.
So where's my baby? She's all grown up! Well, not quite, but getting there. I just started putting her in 6-9 month clothes. She still can't fit into some of her 3-6 month pants though, she's got short little legs. She's grown so much these past few weeks, it's truly amazing. She's crawling very well now. Sometimes she will come right towards you, but she likes crawling towards keyboards and mice best. She can crawl into my lap, and she often does when she's tired or she's trying to avoid going somewhere else. I'm glad she's able to come to us for comfort now when she needs it instead of just crying until we figure it out.

She's also able to stand! She can pull herself up and stand while holding on to something. It's sooo cute. She's also much better at going from laying down to sitting up. It's definitely time to babyproof the house. We have the outlet covers up, and already she tries to take them off. She also likes the thing that turns on the gas for the fireplace, so we had to remove the key.

Grandma and Grandpa are visiting from Japan for two weeks, so Sienna is getting a lot of extra attention. At first she wasn't so sure about hanging out with them but now she plays with them and goes on walks with them no problem. Today we're going to Coronado and the farmers market, so I hope we have fun! It's a beautiful day, just a little chilly.

We had a good easter, Sienna played with some eggs and wore a very cute dress. Next year maybe it will be more fun for her. I can't wait to dye eggs with her, fun!

I found out there aren't any summer classes available for me to take, so I'm going to stay home with Sienna for the summer. :)

I'll update with pics soon.

Spring Break!

 I'm on spring break finally! Yay, more time to spend with Sienna! Except, I'm sick.. :( I don't know why I keep getting sick, but it stinks. My  head is pounding and taking care of a baby when you're sick is really hard. For the most part Sienna has been pretty well behaved except for these bouts of unconsolable crying and screaming. I think maybe it's pain from her teeth or from her cold. :(
Yesterday we went to the doctor for Sienna's 6 month check up. She was a superstar! She's such a big girl, she's meeting all her milestones right on time. I might start putting a few 6-9 month outfits on her. She's almost 15lbs and just over 26 in long. She has so many cute clothes to wear. She's been in 3-6 for so long I'm tired of putting her in the same old clothes all the time. Some of her 3-6 pants are still too big for her! She must have small little legs and a tiny tushie. :)

We discovered the cutest thing about Sienna a few days ago: she's ticklish! ahahahahha I looove tickling her! Daddy gets the best laughs though.

My birthday's in 2 weeks. :)

movin' on up

Tomorrow's the big day-- Sienna's going to moving into her own room.  I have mixed feelings about this. I'm going to miss her very much, but at the same time I think she might sleep better in her own room. There won't be as many noises to wake her up. Our neighbor's dog is always barking, so hopefully she won't be able to hear it as much on the other side of the house. I'm just dreading having to get up in the middle of the night and walking all the way to her room.

On another note, I just made 10 pear cubes for 79cents! Making baby food rules!

6 months!

Our baby girl is six months old!!! I can't believe that much time has gone by already. She's growing up waaaayy too fast. We go for her 6 month appt on Thursday, so I'm not sure how big she is, but she's almost about ready to switch into 6-9month sizes.
She's rolling back and forth, although most of the time she seems to get stuck on her belly which makes her mad. She's also able to scoot around to reach stuff, although it's more in a backwards circle path than a straight and direct path. (it takes her a little longer to grab the mouse or eat the keyboard, but she's gonna do it). She can get up on all fours (knees and hands) and rock back and forth, so I think we might have a crawler soon! She does that and then falls on her belly and raises all fours off the ground, then gets back up. It's so cute!
Another thing she can do is sit up unassisted! It's so nice being able to plop her on the ground and have her sit there. Sometimes she leans on her hands, but she's getting much better at being able to balance, and even catching herself before she falls. Her favorite game is the walking game where we hold her hands and she "walks" back and forth between us. She loves this game because she loves to stand. If she's not up, she's not happy.
Another big development is her first two teeth! The bottom two teeth have popped up (and oh man are they sharp) so Sienna is, as always, chewing on everything. As of last night, they are just barely above the surface, but the first one started to come in about 5 days ago.

Still when we go out people comment on how beautiful she is nearly everywhere we go. I happen to agree, so here are some recent pics! :)

already getting into mischief!

 We love you Sienna!
