Moving - Sierra Week 25

This week Momma and Daddy took the big leap and bought our first family home.  You might think that means we moved to a new town.  But that wasn't the case.  We moved approximately one half of a mile down the street.  The address has changed but everything else has stayed the same.  First things first, I had to help Daddy pack up all of our art work.

Then it was time for closing day.  Momma and Daddy went to sign the final paper work and pick up the key while DadMom watched SiSi and I.  Then we had our picture taken on the steps of our "new home".

On Friday the moving men came.  But Momma didn't leave all the packing and carrying to them.  SiSi, Nanny and I also helped to move things down to the new house.  Thank goodness the basket at the bottom of our stroller is large!

Then finally we were there, at our new home!  SiSi posed for this glamour shot to celebrate the moment.

Growing Up - Sierra Wk 24

This week Sierra and I made Momma and Daddy realize how fast we are growing up.  Daddy took these two pictures of me on my scooter.  Daddy bought a new diaper bag to hold all of the snacks that SiSi and I require, so I adopted my old snack bag.  Momma said her heart stopped a beat when she saw how grown up I looked in these two pictures.  Seems like school is just around the corner.

Not to be out done, SiSi demonstrated her new skill this week, self-feeding.  She can now hold a full 6 oz bottle on her own.  Daddy taught her this great independent skill.

And we celebrated Father's day this week.  Daddy said he didn't want anything, so Momma bought a gift we both could play with.  The funny thing was that DadMom and Mommy ended up playing with it more than Daddy and I!

Happy fishing!

Roly-Poly and Ghosts - Sierra Wk 23

Look out world here comes Sierra! This week little Si-Si made her first independent moves. She has mastered both the belly to back and back to belly roles. She has also figured out how to scoot backwards. Daddy keeps finding her in places other than the ones we left her in...



Not to be out done by Si-Si I did a disappearing act of my own. Can you find me?

Solids! Sierra Wk 22

Its official, Sierra is moving from her pure liquid diet to one that includes yummy solids.  Daddy started this week with a bit of rice cereal in her formula.   All in all it went quite well.  Sierra seemed to enjoy being in her high chair and was willing to eat her cereal with the proper bottle chaser.

And Sierra turned 5 months old this week.  So you guessed it, Momma took some more pictures.  Happy Birthday Si-Si!

Momma and I helped Si-Si to celebrate her birthday by giving her a warm and cozy bath.  I am getting to be really good at helping Si-Si to clean up.  I think she really enjoys her baths.

After she was all clean I let Momma take a picture of the two of us so she could take it on her trip to India with her.  She said our smiles were just too precious.

Here's hoping you've had a clean and wonderful day!

Memorial Day Weekend - Sierra Wk 21 Part 2

Happy Memorial Day everyone!  Momma, Daddy, Si-Si, Tazz, Blue and I celebrated this weekend with our friends and family in Gettysburg, PA.  We had so much fun.  Si-Si saw Daddy play volleyball for the first time.

She slept in our camper for the first time.  I was allowed to sleep on the bunk bed for the first time.  Thanks to Ms. Jeannie we were cool and comfie with a clean bathroom and hot water all weekend long.  That made Momma very happy!

I joined the ranks of many many other kids who have enjoyed the fun of the Bordlemay jump house.

And I discovered the joy of electric bubble toys.  Did you know you could make bubble shoes?

Si-Si enjoyed a bit of water fun in the inflatable baby pool.

It really made her happy to be able to cool down in the hot weather!

I also met a lot of new "best friends" including my cousin Devon, and family friends Ellie, Katie and Hailey.  We all had a lot of fun doing an art project.

Daddy even let me joint in the family camp tradition...

Don't worry, it wasn't Jaeger, just orange juice.  We figured out at camp that shot glass are the perfect way for a toddler like myself to learn how to drink out of a glass.  I didn't spill a drop!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  It was "so nice" to be able to share it with my family and friends.  See you next year!

Toes - Sierra Wk 21

Well it's official, Sierra has found her toes.  As you can imagine Momma thought this meant it was time for MORE pictures.  So enjoy a couple of glamour shots of our favorite little girl!

It won't be long before those yummy toes make it to Sierra's mouth!

All that toe play made Si-Si a happy girl.  Here's hoping your toes bring you as much happiness =+)

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...
