one Big baby, one SAD momma!

So the story goes like this... a few weeks ago Omar and I went to a Padre's Spring Training game (one bonus to living in AZ) for our weekly date night (GO PADRES! no worries that they totally lost) while we were at the game laughing with all the drunk people my sister called to tell us that...

Sienna had done the unthinkable!!! I had tried and tried to stop her but after many weeks of trying she had rolled over! Okay I thought, we can handle this--- wishful thinking!!! Oh ya did I mention that I was loving that Sienna was still sleeping in her bassinet in our room? I know who would have thought I would be that mom! I just love having her close and knowing she is okay! So I continued thinking we could live the good life with her in the bassinet in our room... she decided against it! She would try to roll over and get stuck and she would scoot to the top and get her head jammed against the top of her bassinet. So we did it this past weekend- we let her move on without us and she is so happy with her independence!!!

The first night I totally had to go into the nursery and hold her before I went to bed. Then I spent way too much time playing with the video monitor so I felt like it was perfect!


Obviously she is happy as can be! She stretches out, rolls when she wants to, snuggles up to her breathable bumper (great baby buy) and now she is lifting her booty in the air (like the "up dog" yoga position) and scoots with the top of her head or her face dragging along the mattress, but she can get pretty far! She is trouble!!!

Sienna's FIRST Easter

Okay so I am bad at remembering the picture taking on important events like my baby's first Easter! We had a good day! After church we went over to see my sister and her family and Baby JJ was running around with his basket and eggs and loving the day. Then we had a nice ham dinner at my best friend, Micaela's, mom's house! We love being part of their family :) We took a few family pics over there and when I get them I will post them. Here is the extent of the lame pictures I remembered to take!

I live in AZ shouldn't I be tan yet? It is almost April :)

the good looking daddy!

4 mOnTHs!

I know, there is no way she is already 4 months! Sienna is doing so great and this last month has definitely been her month of big changes! We are so lucky to have such an easy-going, happy baby (she must get that from her dad, huh?)! The latest on Sienna is: she has to be sitting up and seeing what is going on, she is trying hard to roll over and mom is doing everything to stop her :), her favorite toy is her binki- pulling it out and playing with it and then putting it back in, she loves the jogging stroller, she loves to eat her hands, she gives the best open mouth kisses, she loves to play with everyone's fingers, she likes her sunglasses, she loves to dance with us, she can soak the whole bathroom being in the tub, when you lay her on her back to play she kicks herself around and around in circles, she absolutely loves being on her tummy to play, and she giggles, talks and smiles all day long!

Sienna went to the doctor today and here is the latest:

Length: 25 inches (75th percentile), so she grew 1 1/2 inches in the last 2 months.

Weight: 13 lbs 15 oz (50th percentile), so she gained 2 lbs 3 oz in two months.
these two are actually a few of her 3 month pictures taken by my talented best friend Micaela
our future pianist jammin to her own tunes

and last but not least that perfect little smile!

SKaTe paRk!

So the last two weeks on Omar's afternoon off we have taken all the kids to the skate park! It is so funny because there are no benches outside the fence that you can really see from so I sit in with all the skaters- I have never felt so uncool in my life :) You would think I am a 90 old lady in a night club- I am avoided like the plague!

me and the babies

My hot skater husband :) Omar was intimidated to be back at the skate park at such an OLD age but he got right back into it- good thing because surfing is on the back burner for now!

by the time Brady woke up to eat Sienna was passed out in the Bjorn- maybe this is why I am avoided!
