Well, a lot has changed. I wasn't sure if it was possible, but Sienna is even more beautiful, smart, and fun to be around than ever.
Wednesday was Sienna's 15 month well check and she is 21.8 lbs, and 32inches tall. She's tall, skinny, with a big ole head. That's my girl!
We celebrated her accomplishments with a trip to balboa park. We had a nice picnic then went on a tricycle ride around the park. It was really fun, even though she fell twice.
I want to try and get out more with Sienna while I'm on break from school. There's a lot of things I want to get done around the house too (garden, cleaning, organizing) but the weather has been so beautiful- I should take advantage of it while I can! Plus, she really loves being outside. We went to the zoo with Gramma Monday, and are going again tomorrow. Sienna really liked taking the bus tour! She had fun standing on Grammies lap, didn't want anything to do with Mama!
I feel like we did a lot of fun stuff in 2011, but there's always room for improvement!
I've seen a few people do similar things, and since I haven't been blogging consistently, how's about a year in review?
January
Sienna is 3 months old, with chubby cheeks and a fuzzy head. This month she went to the beach for the first time. We joined a mom group, a baby sign class, and Sienna went to day care for the first time as I went back to school.
February
At four months, Sienna tries rice cereal for the first time- we come to the mutual decision that she is not ready for solid food yet. We celebrate our first valentines day together. We also go to a family bbq with our new friends, but Sienna is too little to interact with the other kids. As you can tell by the picture, she is also teething! Ooh, cold blue foot feels good on those gums!
March
This month, Sienna learns how to sit up on her own! She gets her first injury at school (bumped head) and gets her very own high chair! Unfortunately, she also got her first ear infection.
April
Wow, hard to pick just one picture for this month. This month Sienna starts to crawl, we celebrate our first Easter (with plastic eggs, a picnic with friends, and I pass down my easter basket to her), and her grandparents fly all the way from Japan to visit. Sienna also learns the joy of a piggy back ride. I turn 22.
May
We go to an art festival, the aquarium and the zoo. Grandparents leave, and we start making the spare room into Sienna's playroom. Sienna is standing and cruising and loves to walk around with assistance.
June
We go to the park and zoo a few times. Sienna can climb the stairs! She loves stacking blocks and we host a party at our house for all our friends. Sienna loves watching sesame street- especially elmo!
July
We go swimming for the first time at grandma's house. The water was too cold, Sienna did NOT like it at all. She slipped out of my arms into the water and that was it for that attempt at swimming. She makes friends with Charlie the dog. We go to many birthday parties for Sienna's friends. Sienna learns to clap, and has two upper teeth (fangs). She also loves drawing on her chalkboard.
August
Our last month of summer vacation. We go to the park and the zoo. Sienna gets a new big girl carseat! Daddy goes out of town on work travel for the first time. We miss him but have fun anyways. I start a new semester at school and Sienna gets to come with me! I get to visit her on my breaks between classes.
September
We go to the beach and the aquarium. Daddy turns 40! Sienna likes to run around naked and also wear mom and dads clothes. She loves being silly and playing with all her toys. All this month we are getting ready for her birthday party!

October
Sienna turns ONE!!! We have a fun little party, but Sienna isn't interested in presents or friends, just running around. We go to the pumpkin patch at Bates Nut Farm and pick out Sienna's very first pumpkin, and then we get another one later to paint on. Even though Sienna was around last year for halloween, this is her first time trick or treating! She was a little ladybug and we had a blast walking around the neighborhood. She especially loved walking up to peoples houses, but got scared as soon as they opened the door. She starts going to a new day-care. I'm sad because she's not at school with me anymore.
November
We go to Julian and get fresh apple pie and go christmas shopping. We get pictures taken of us, and Daddy goes out of town for a few days while we have fun at home. We have a nice Thanksgiving, but all Sienna is interested in eating is the cranberry sauce. She makes a huge mess though, and falls asleep right after.
December
We go to December Nights at Balboa park, Sienna has a blast walking around looking at all the people. We visit Grandma in the hospital after her knee replacement. We lose Great-Grandma Alice. Sienna met her this time last year, where she said Sienna was cute. We help Grandma pick out the perfect Christmas tree, and meet Santa. We have a very merry Christmas!

Wow, looking at all these pictures makes me nostalgic. A year sure goes by fast, and she grew so quickly in such a short amount of time. Next year I'm sure I'll say the same thing.
All in all, 2011 was a great year but we are ready to see what 2012 has in store for us. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with this blog. There are new pictures up on her gallery as well.
