Sienna's Baptism

Sienna was baptized on Sunday, October 17th, on a beautiful fall day at Lutheran Church of Christ the Redeemer.  Sienna smiled and hardly made a peep as she was immersed, dressed in her gown, and introduced to her church family.  Godfather Luke actually beat Mom's family to church even though he was in the shower when we left for church!  Godmother Annie was able to join in some of our festivities from Spain through the wonderful world of technology.  Grandpa Kevin and Uncle Luke got the yard ready for the party while Grandma Brenda and Grandma Julie prepared a fantastic meal of prime rib, potatoes, corn, broccoli and cauliflower, and a grape salad.  Steve and Sondra brought bread and a pastry.  Grandma Belva and Grandpa Tim brought the DQ ice cream cake.  Great Grandma Tud brought flowers from her garden, Great Grandma B. brought baked goodies, and Great Grandma and Grandpa Laven brought Annie- in doll-form, that is.  Sienna was pleasant all day long, sleeping most of the time.  Finley wouldn't have anything to do with the pictures as she missed out on her nap due to the festivities.  We were all very tired after the big day and were in bed by 9.  We are blessed beyond words!

Sienna's #1 Fan

Finley loves her little sister, even though she also loves being the baby.  (Notice that they are sitting in a car seat in this picture.)

Our Little Garden Gnome

This is my favorite of the Pumpkin Pics.  I just imagine that she's a little garden gnome, child of the pumpkins.  Since taking this picture, Sienna has almost completely filled this outfit out.  She's growing so fast!  I can't believe that I have to go back to work in 2 1/2 weeks.  Sienna's outfit says, "Boo".  I say, "Boo Hoo!"

Sienna Update

Sienna has been waking up and interacting much more these days, although you couldn't tell by the second picture.  In the first picture, she was cooing at Auntie Megan.  In the second picture, she was fussy and squirming around after her bath.  All of a sudden, she stopped whining and I looked to find her fast asleep!

Rolley-Poley

At 4 1/2 weeks Sienna rolled over from front to back.  At 5 weeks, she gets up on her side from her back, but can't quite get that arm out of the way.  Watch out world!
