Teeth and other things

Sienna is now the owner of two new teeth! The ones next to the top middle ones. She's my little vampire!
I haven't gotten a good picture of them yet. One popped out a week or so ago, and the second one on Monday. I'm sooo happy they finally appeared, because they have been making her so cranky at night.
We're trying to get her comfortable sleeping in her own bed, but it's difficult when she's in pain.
We're making progress though!

This past Saturday, we had a lot of mommies and babies (and a few daddies) over for a family get together. It was a lot of fun! The babies seemed to like Sienna's playroom and all her toys.Everyone brought really yummy food- I ate like a pig and we still have some leftovers.

On Sunday we went to a baby gear/ clothing swap. I was disappointed, because last time even though there wasn't as much stuff, it wasn't as crazy and was better organized. This time it was in this really tiny narrow room, and everyone attacked the piles of stuff like sharks and you couldn't even look at anything without being knocked into. One lady had two giant ikea bags and was hitting everybody with them. The quality of items offered wasn't as good this time- we didn't get very nice clothes unlike last time. I did find some books, and a sock monkey toy that Sienna likes. It was nice to get rid of some stuff, and hopefully someone gets use out of it. I know what we brought in was much nicer than what we took out. Oh well. Then after that we went to the aquarium. Sienna loves the sardines in the entrance.

Yesterday, Grandma came over and we went to the zoo. We didn't stay for long, but we had lunch and saw a few animals. Grandma even got to pet a tortoise! It was a nice day.

And here's some more pics-- there's more in her gallery!

This weekend is a long one, so hopefully we'll do something fun!

Long awaited update

We've been so busy, I almost forgot about this blog! It's been over a month, sorry!
Sienna is 8 months now, and is still the most beautiful, smart, and fun baby in the world. We've been up to a lot of things, it's hard to know where to start.
 I finished the semester, so we've had a lot of time to play together during the week. We try to save the fun stuff for the weekend so we can hang out as a family.
Sienna especially likes the aquarium. We got a membership to the Birch Aquarium so we can go whenever we want. Sienna likes the moving fish, and also the kids that are always there on field trips.

Oh no, my baby got eaten by a shark!

We've also had to start childproofing the house. We got the cabinet locks done, and we've had the outlet things for a while. The outlet covers seem to attract more attention though. We just got a gate for the top of the stairs, now we just need one for the bottom. Sienna is a crawling machine, and this applies to stairs too. She can climb all the way up without stopping!

On Memorial Day, we went and hung out with the family. She was very good. She especially liked Uncle Gary's presents with the bright wrapping paper.

Here she is with Uncle Dave and Kelly.

 Sienna also got invited to her first birthday party! One of her friends, Cambria turned one, so we went down to the bay to celebrate. The babies all traded toys, and Sienna enjoyed chewing on a bottle of sunscreen. There was a pinata full of yummy baby treats, and we got to bring home a treasure chest full of goodies. It was a lot of fun and got me excited for Sienna's party!

Id add a pic of her w/friends but I dont want to post pics of babies without permission!

We've done a lot of work on her playroom. Eric painted a chalkboard wall and built a frame, and we just got some cubbie storage. But the best part of her play room is Bear!She loves to crawl up to him and give him a big hug. Me too.
