9 Months Old!!

Sienna Layne is now 9 months old and we can't believe how much she's grown.  At her doctor's appointment today, she weighed in at more than 17 pounds.  She is a crawling machine and gets into EVERYTHING!  She is proving to be very different from her big sister who rarely got into anything she wasn't supposed to and never put anything in her mouth.  She's still as sweet as ever, though, and loves to snuggle her cheek against our faces and give sloppy kisses.  Some of Sienna's favorite things to do are to listen to music and play pat-a-cake.  She giggles when you kiss her tummy, but she hates getting her diaper and clothes changed.  As you can see, she loves lounging in her high chair, even when she's not eating.  If I put it in front of the patio doors, she will watch the trees, birds, and flowers for a long time - so long that she will fall asleep!  She had a little set-back last week when she got her first ear infection and proved to have difficulties taking amoxicillin and azithromycin, but now that she's on her third antibiotic, she is raring to go! 

8 Months Old!

Sienna at 8 months old is adorable as ever, although she is pretty ornery.  Not only does she have a huge tooth on the bottom, but she is also sooooo close to crawling that she gets very frustrated when she can't get to where she wants.  For awhile, she kept spinning in circles and it was hilarious; of course, when I tried to videotape it, she stopped but I couldn't resist posting her bare butt here.  The weather is finally starting to get (sort of) warm, though, and I'm sure she will be crawling off the deck shortly.  All the more reason for Grandpa Tim to come help us finish that deck off!
