Sienna, Mover and Shaker

At 9 1/2 months, Sienna is pulling herself up by herself and can climb stairs.  She says "ma ma" and "da da" and mimics sounds and actions.  She loves to play pat-a-cake and hates to get her diaper changed.  She points at your nose, ears, and mouth when you ask where they are.  She loves to read books, and then throw them on the floor.  And, of course, she is still as sweet as pie.

The Most Perfect Start to the Summer!

Little SiSi spent the most beautiful weekend ever outdoors as much as possible, even though she had a very snotty nose and maybe a little earache.  Sadie and Finley were playing in the front yard, so we came out to play, but Sienna wouldn't put her leg on the grass.  She literally sat there with one leg in the air until I went inside and came back with a blanket.  It was hilarious!  We didn't spend much time outside, though, because after about 10 minutes, tears were streaming down her face.  She wasn't actually crying, though, so we wonder if she has some allergies.  The next day, we went to the pool, but she fell asleep the second we got there and slept until right before we left!  She did get to splash for a few minutes before we went home and crashed.  If this is a foretaste of the summer to come, we like it!
