Sit! - Sierra Wk 20

Sierra reach a significant milestone this week.  I'll let the picture speak for her...

I was so proud of her accomplishment.

And by the way if you plan to come to visit soon, be aware Sierra has discovered the joy of putting everything in her mouth!

No ones fingers are safe...

Smile Safari - Sierra Wk 19

Momma realized that she is without as many Sierra smile pictures as she would like to have in the repository.  So she kept the camera with us all weekend and came up with some fun shots.  On a walk around the neighborhood I showed her my new skill, the "Jumping High Five".  This boy can JUMP!

Sierra took in some sunshine on her play mat on the back deck.  And of course, Momma had the camera ready to capture her smile.  I think she likes the sun.

Even Tazz was extra happy this weekend.  Of course, whenever there is a ball in play Tazz is pretty happy.

This weekend also marked the road testing of my scooter.  To date, the scooter has been an inside toy, crazy I know, but somehow Momma thought it was safer that way.  I must say I did a great job on my ride to the park.  The bumps in the side walk can cause a bit of a surprise, but I had a great ride!

Once we made it to the park, Sierra jumped into the swing.  Well, Momma put her there, but Sierra was so excited.  She really seems to love swinging.  Look at the beautiful smile the swing caused.

You might think with High Five-ing and Scooter Riding I might be done with sharing new skills for this weekend, but I have one more surprise....Somersaults

Hope you had a lot of fun this weekend too!

Happy Mother's Day! - Sierra Wk 18

Mother's Day weekend started out with a great surprise for Sierra and me.  On Friday Momma cut out of work early so that we could all go play in the park together.  We had lots of fun.  Daddy helped me dig in the sand box.

While Sierra worked on her standing skills.  Can you believe how strong Sierra's little legs are?

I also showed Momma my favorite new game - "Flush the bird".  Can you guess which of my sisters taught me this one?  Daddy loves it because it guarantees that I am tuckered out by the end of our play time!

I wasn't the only one sharing new games.  Momma took Sierra on her first slide ride and her first ride on the big swings.  Sierra tells me she is still deciding if she liked the slide and swing.

The park wasn't the only fun we had this weekend.  On Saturday morning Momma and I went to our gymnastics class again.  I made great progress on the big trampoline, letting Ms. Melinda do "popcorn" with me for the first time.  I wasn't too thrilled, but it might be okay after a while.  But what I did enjoy was playing on the new rocking toy!

After gymnastics we headed home to find Nanny and Grampy playing with Sierra.  We were so happy to see them.  Nanny brought out this beautiful smile from Sierra.

On Sunday we all celebrated Mother's Day together.  I made Momma's day by wishing her a "Happy Mommy's Day".  I saved saying it for the first time just for her.  She was so happy!  Daddy also made her smile by sneaking beautiful flowers in while she wasn't looking on Saturday.  Later in the morning Nanny, Grampy and Dad-mom came over and we all went to lunch to celebrate the Mom's.  It was a great day.  Love and hugs to all the Mom's out there!
