Family Pictures!

Christmas Tree!

Siena has been very interested in the tree since we put the lights up and finished decorating it. She has pulled one of the ornaments off to play with it - but she mostly just wants to talk to it.

Our Little Bird!

Siena Taking a Step

Stefano had to adjust this video. Sorry it took so long.

Standing up!

Trunk or Treat

We had a "Trunk-or-Treat" thing at church tonight, it being the eve of the eve of all Hallow's eve and all. Since Shelli is working Halloween, and Siena will be lucky to even get put in a onesie, we dressed her up tonight.

Phebe thought Siena was possibly a new dog.

Child of the Corn?

Siena loves her puppies!

Siena loves the dogs (and most of the time they love her). She did this on her own - it wasn't posed.

Fun pictures of Siena!

These are some of the funny things Siena has been doing lately. She gets into everything these days.

Siena Reading

This is my absolute favorite picture of her. It shows how much she enjoys her books.

Siena playing in the grass

This was actually Siena's 2nd experience in the grass - but Mommy had to get pictures this time. She really wasn't sure what to think of it. She would touch it and look up at us like "what is this stuff?" She still hates the sun - our "little vampire baby". She was not a big fan of crawling in it - but she was mad because she was not the center of attention.

Siena at 8 months

Siena is growing so fast. She is into everything now. She's officially started crawling on her hands and knees - not the army man as much anymore. She has also discovered that she can pull herself up on the furniture. Watch out everyone - it's time to Siena-proof the house. She also likes to feed herself and loves to read books.

Playing With Garibaldi

This would be even better if we had a way to film her watching her own video...

Siena's New Tricks

Siena has discovered that she loves to stand up. She is so happy when she gets the chance to stand. She has the strength to do it but not the balance. Siena also recently discovered the dog's water and food bowls. She loves to splash in the water and eat the dog food. It sure must be tasty because we're having trouble keeping her away from it. Siena also likes lolipops (as well as ice cream - but we don't have a picture of that).

Siena's New Toy

Siena is getting so big. She just got this new toy and is absolutely enjoying it. She also got a new highchair. The doctor said that we can start feeding her Cheerios now. She now weighs 13 pounds and 13 ounces and is 27 inches long. She has grown so much in the past few weeks.

Sitting up!

Siena has started sitting up by herself. Last Sunday, she sat in a high chair at dinner. And ate ice cream...

Siena is crawling

Siena has started crawling - it's still just a little scoot for right now - but she does it over and over again. Her favorite toy to crawl to right now is the dog's ball on a rope. I guess it's time to baby proof the house.

Siena's First Time Swimming!

Siena started off her day by sunbathing with Mommy at the lake. Then she was ready for her first time swimming. It was a little chilly, but she seemed to like it. She dunked her face in one time and thought it was funny.

Our Little Daredevil!

Siena loves the thrill of being up high, tossed around, and going for wild rides with the dogs. Daddy rigged up a type of dog sled for Methuselah & Garibaldi to pull her when we go for walks. It works pretty well. She has also discovered how much she enjoys riding on Daddy's shoulders (she likes to drool all over his hair as well).

Siena posing for the camera!

Siena took a moment to pose for the camera. She is so active now - she rolls all over the place. It won't be long before she's crawling.
