Hanging out

This past Tuesday, Sienna and I hung out on the front lawn waiting for Daddy to come home from work. The weather had been amazing earlier in the week and it was starting to change-the clouds were rolling in. It was still relatively warm and we enjoyed being outside together. She loves looking around and being outdoors. Here are some pictures of our sweet Sienna and the sky, which ended up giving us an amazing sunset!

I love this picture because in the background you see Garth chasing after Colby! Colbster is the little while dot above Sienna's forehead.

Now he's listening to Garth...only because Garth has food and Colby is hoping for a bite (which he never gets...yet he tries to look so sweet and innocent, hoping we'll give in).

By the end, we were down one sock-Sienna loves taking off her right sock and inserting it straight into her mouth. Then she plays with her foot.

Gorgeous sunset

Valentine's Day Wreath

Once Sienna was born, I found that I was sitting on the couch a lot, while nursing her. It would take 30 minutes and I would be doing it every 2 hours in the beginning! I realized I had a lot of time on my hands while I was sitting there. So I started reading blogs! I would start reading a friends blog and then click on someone they follow...and it would go on and on. While doing this, I started finding some of the most creative women out there! There are several blogs I look at regularly now, while feeding Sienna. So they have definitely inspired me to be creative again and I have also found some amazing and easy recipes on these blogs. Well, I decided to make a craft I found from the idearoom.net. I made a felt heart wreath for Valentine's Day. Click Here for step by step directions on how to make this wreath.

5 months

5 months already! Wow! Sienna just continues to be such a joy to Garth and I. We love her little personality that is showing more and more each day. She is so incredibly sweet and lovable. We love how she smiles and giggles all the time. However, I have noticed that she is starting to figure out this whole camera business. I can have her smiling and giggling, but as soon as I bring up the camera, she gets so serious. Every time I go to snap the shot, the smile is wiped away and it's serious time! So, you just have to trust us that she's full of smiles and giggles that just melt your heart!

Sienna has found her feet and boy does she love them. She touches them, grabs them, and likes to play with them in her bath, while playing on the ground, and she attempts in the carseat-but, after many struggles and grunts, she finds that cannot reach them! She also is rolling over a lot more now. She hasn't rolled from her back to her tummy, but every time I put her on her belly for tummy time, she rolls right over.

Another new thing for Sienna is any time we are holding her, she leans over to the side or backwards with her arm stretched wide trying to touch anything she sees. She wants to touch everything. If Garth is holding her, she's reaching and leaning towards me. If I'm holding her, she does the same thing for her daddy. It's cute, but we really have to be holding her tight because she obviously has no sense of fear and just leans all the way back. She is a strong girl and she is loving finding the ways her body moves and what she is capable of!

For many of you who do not know, Garth has changed jobs. He got an offer from Citizens Business Bank that he was very excited about and therefore resigned from Merrill Lynch last month. Garth is now the Vice President of Investment Services for the Central Valley. He is doing the same thing, being a financial advisor, but he does so for 12 banks in the valley-from Bakersfield up to Stockton. He is really enjoying it so far and as I type, he is on his way to North Carolina for some training for 4 days. I am already missing him!

Here are some recent pictures of our precious little one with her serious face :)
