Cute and Cuddly Baby!

All the wonderful sun really warmed the house up a lot today.  So Momma managed to get a few cute naked baby pictures of Sierra that I thought I would share with you.  Hard to believe that she will be 3 months old soon.

Sun, Sun, Sun! - Sierra Wk 13

After another bout of rain, the sun decided to come out and play again.  We celebrated with a trip to the park.  Momma and I headed down with Tazz, while Daddy and Sierra stayed home.  First I impressed Momma with my great strength!

Then I worked on my throwing skills.  One of the big kids at the park showed me how to throw acorns onto the roof of the pavilion.  I'm still working on my skills...

With my arm warmed up, we headed to the river for some stone throwing.  I like my rocks big!

But I've found I can make the biggest splash all on my own.

Not to be out done, Tazz showed me how to jump really big!  I'll see what I can do to improve my splashing skills based on her coaching the next time we come to the brook.

After all this fun play, I found a flower to bring back to Daddy and Sierra.  I took a big sniff of it...

Now its your turn!

Brotherly Love - Sierra Wk 12

This week I said the word "Love" for the first time.  Momma said I made her heart melt.  Based on the big kiss and hug received, she must have meant it.  Sierra and I also took our relationship to a new level, as I invited her for some snuggle time.  Prior to this week, I wasn't so thrilled to have her too close to me.  I'm a man who likes my own space...  I let Momma capture this picture of us snuggling.  Aren't we just the cutest?

But bed snuggling wasn't the only sign of sibling love this week.  I also started getting down and playing with Sierra.  I also decided it was great fun to hold her hand!

I even decided that sharing the blue couch was a good idea!

As a reward for all this brotherly love, GiGi and PopPop came for a visit on Friday.  Everyone had a great time.  I managed to extend their visit through story time by asking GiGi to read me my bed time stories.  Its great to have a killer smile!

Sierra worked her skills on PopPop.  He managed to snuggle her to sleep after holding her for a long, long time.  Great job PopPop!

Spring is Here! - Sierra Wk 11

Yeah!  Spring has finally arrived.  After a long winter it seems the sunshine has finally come back to play.  We celebrated by visiting Grandma and going to Tazz's favorite dog park.  We were both so happy!

While we were at the park we took a little hike...

a little swim...

threw some tree nuts... (can you see it flying through the air?)

had a little snuggle...

and did lots of running!

Mommy said that Sierra must be going through another growth spurt, because she spent most of the time sleeping or eating.  Of course Mommy took a picture of her sleeping!

Here's hoping that you found a warm spot in the sun for a cat nap too!

Nanny & Grampy Come to Town - Wk 10

Our week started normally enough.  But by the time Momma and I made it back from gymnastics and Nanny and Grampy arrived on Saturday the our little corner of the world was dark!  Thanks to winds that gusted up to 50 miles an hour, we experienced our first power outage in a house that really needs the electricity.  Thanks to the 3 sump pumps and the back up generator the basement (my playland) only took on 1.5 inches of water.  Our neighbors across the street took on 6.  But it wasn't all about the rain.  Nanny and Grampy did a great job of helping Momma and Daddy to entertain me while all the stuff in the basement was moved to "higher ground" and we found new things to do during the 3 days we were without power.  We had the best tickle-fest ever...

This week we also took Sierra for her two month check up.  She is now 23.5 inches long and 12 pounds 15 ounces.  That's right.  My baby sister has put on another 3 pounds and grew another inch.  Our doctor said he was no longer concerned about her putting on enough weight.  I guess almost doubling your birth weight in two months is pretty good.  I must say, Sierra wears it well.  Aren't her cheeks the cutest?

Not only did Sierra do well at her doctor's visit, she also achieved a new milestone.  She has found her fists, and decided that they are much better to suck on than any pacifier that Momma or Daddy can provide.

But Tazz won the contest for most precious moment.  Mommas says she is our original princess.  What do you think?  Seems her dog bed wasn't comfie enough on its own.

But even with all of this weeks excitement the best part was sharing time with the ones we love.  Here's hoping the ones you love are in kissing distance.

Hugs and kisses to everyone!

Sierra is Two Months Old

Its a happy day today.  My baby sister Sierra turned 2 months old.

Momma of course celebrated by taking pictures of us all!

She captured Sierra and Daddy's first "heart to heart" conversation.  Do you think he is telling her how old she will have to be before she can date?   

And she caught Sierra's first successful attempt to intentionally touch an object.  Do you see her grabbing the keys?  Momma better keep an eye on her Jeep!

But the best picture is the one that shows what amazing little cheeks Sierra has.  Momma says baby cheeks are the best!

And just a little update from me, I figured out how to ride my scooter all by myself this week.  Look at me go!  Beep, Beep!

New Hair

Yeah, Momma and Daddy finally managed to get me to the barber after Library today.  I'm pretty happy with my new hair cut.

I think the shorter hair gave me a little extra height to my jump.  What do you think? 

The barber asked if Sierra needed a little off the top.  But Momma said no.  It will be a while before Momma lets any scissors near her head.

And if anyone ever wonders if Tazz gets tired of having her picture taken by Momma, just look at the expression in this photo!
