and the baby is...

today we had an ultrasound and this is what we found out...

the baby has a cute little foot

a head, two eyes, a nose, and a belly

and something between the legs!!! That's right #2 is a boy!

This boy sure loves candy, mexican food, and french fries... it seems I cannot get enough for him! Man he will be shocked when soon enough he is eating tofu and homemade baby food like his big sister! We are fully expecting he will be delivered wearing a Padres' or Charger's jersey :)

BABY UNIVERSE

Okay so we think our baby is hilarious and this is one of her newest tricks-- Omar calls it BABY UNIVERSE! The truth is when she is not getting food fast enough this is her attempt to sit up in her reclined high chair to get more.

the cheesy BABY UNIVERSE- nice guns huh??

and as the crazy daddy calls it-- olympic style (grabbing the leg)

Good job BABY UNIVERSE that is amazing effort considering your current sinus infection!

the BEST daddy!

We had so much fun celebrating the super cool daddy in our house yesterday!
Here are the top 7 reasons Omar is the BEST that Sienna and I could ask for:
1. He walks in the door to take care of his girls- whatever is needed: diapers, pajamas, baby bath, entertainment, dinner, a hug, a kiss, a shoulder- really anything!
2. He works hard in school and at work all for us!
3. He knows how to make everything fun and he knows to make us laugh- especially when he pulls out the workout ball to do his tricks!
4. He is a good example of what kind of person we should all strive to be!
5. He takes an active roll in our house from taking care of Sienna in any and every way, to feeding the pregnant lady's cravings, to cleaning bathrooms, to doing dishes, to picking up- he does it all!
6. He is the best at showing LOVE- we never have to wonder!
7. Takes care of the mama-- a must for all great dads!
We LOVE you Omar! Thanks for all you do and for being exactly who you are!

The devilish "I got you daddy" face!


You make me this happy daddy!!!

7 mOnThs!

I know I am probably the only one that cannot believe she is 7 months old! We really are the luckiest parents (so far), Sienna is the happiest baby! She is a good eater, sleeper, and she loves to play! Now we just have to wonder if the next one will be a total terror to make up for her :) So the latest on Si would be... she loves church- last Sunday she tried to jump over the pew to the teenage boy she was flirting with- later his parents told us she was all he talked about at dinner, her new favorite toy is the diaper basket- when I am in the kitchen and things get quiet she has always found her way over to the basket, she has the funniest scoot but she can sure get around, she loves books and gets mad that she can't get the page turned by herself, she really is the cutest baby I have ever seen :) YES I am being such a mom!

She loves crinkling paper, the other day I was tossing all the junk mail on the floor as I went through it and Sienna had the time of her life-- why do we buy toys??

We call this her Elmer Fudd (sp?) face!




trying out the real crawling thing



so serious!!!



Yesterday I was taking some pics of Si and I realized her latest thing is cheesing it for the camera! If the orange light shines on her before the picture takes she will totally smile and look at the camera- even if she is busy pulling my hair :) I know not my best pic but she was just being so funny!

Roseola, Baby Sunday & James' Birthday!

In the last week Sienna got Roseola, I had Brady on Sunday- so he go to hang out with the mormons, and it was James' 2nd birthday, where Sienna accidentally got her first taste of frosting- thanks to her daddy!


I tried to get a picture of the rash but it didn't really show up- but I thought this little pose was so cute!


The most helpful husband you could find-- I am the luckiest!!!


Brady and Sienna ready for church!



So jokingly Omar put Sienna by the cake saying, "You want some cake munchkin?" and this was the result- two full hands of frosting, he must have forgotten she has her mom's long arms!

Our Water Baby!

Sienna is a true Arizona baby-- Omar wants to call her aqua baby! We took her to the pool for the first time last week and she was in LOVE! We took Brady and Eathan (the boys I nanny) and Andrea and James came along.

All sunscreened and ready to go!

This is a typical day at work for me one of the babies 'loving' on the other!

getting her toes in




No Omar is not being mean- she is dipping her own face in!






Sienna thinks Eathan is so funny.

our life lately

I have been a major slacker with my blog lately--- things have been crazy and I have just been keeping up with life! Things are going pretty good. O is on a break from school for a few weeks so he just has work- it seems like a breeze and I have had lots of extra help around the house! Work has been busy for me! Sienna had her six month check up and she only weighs 14 lbs 4 oz so I am starting to supplement some formula... I was so sad but being prego and nursing is harder than you think-- 800 extra calories a day is work! She is getting more independent by the day and has almost figured out how to crawl- she can get pretty far on her own! My sister Andrea has moved in with us while she gets on her feet so it has been a party here! I have finally remembered to pull out my camera the past few days so here is the latest in pictures...


After Sienna got her 6 month shots she was our snuggly little bug again :)

oh my gosh is that not the cutest smile???

she loves her little food smasher and loves that she is doing it all alone!

she does not want her bottle fed to her she wants to lay on the floor and play while she eats
