July

We are closing in on 6 months - I can't believe it! Sienna has more personality every day. She laughs often, specially at Daddy & the games he plays with her. She still isn't too interested in reading books together (don't tell Grandma!) but we still read them occasionally. We bought her an Exersaucer which has been really fun. We call it her "office" because she looks so serious as she moves from one activity to another. It is really hilarious. It has been good for her (already strangely strong) legs...she is learning to stand on the flat part of her feet instead of her tippy toes or the side of her foot. We are also trying to learn to sit up but we usually fall over...


We are getting better at sitting, but Sienna is much more interested in standing. Sometimes I think she is going to walk before she sits up...! She found her feet this month too, so she spends a significant amount of time playing with them!

This month she has been sleeping through the night more although she seems to wake up because she is uncomfortable from the teething process. Whenever she has a bad night like that I think for sure when I wake up she will have finally cut a tooth, but it hasn't happen yet. That's ok - there are plenty of things to drool on and to put in our mouth for the time being...

We had a busy week last week. We had a picnic at Burke Lake Park with her friend Emma and we also went on a 5 mile walk. It was really fun but SO hot. She also had a chance to go to the pool with her "girlfriends"...Caroline, Corban & Charis this week. (Maybe we were supposed to spell our daughter's name with a "C"!?) It was the second time she has been in a pool and she LOVES the water. We tried to get a nice shot with her and Caroline, but she kept pulling her hair...
