We had a great time at his party. He was such a good sport about the cupcake. The frosting was blue & yellow...so he made it into green. Hugh & Liz also made some houses out of cardboard boxes. Clearly the hit of the party. We need to dig out a wardrobe box and do the same. No matter what toys you buy, it's the free stuff that is the most fascinating.<br /><br />We had Valentines Day cookie night in Lieu of Christmas cookie night this year. There are always too many cookies...next year we making rules, like one dozen cookies per person.

Sierra has about 7 kids in her class and 3 of them were bumble bees, 2 girls and one boy. The boy had the same costume as one of the girls. I was surprised there were no other pumpkins. Oh to be 14 months old again:) Milk, snacks, naps & lots of love.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxNdFA3_teLYlfpCcLHylqp08m3pWL-jnx-CkHAnjJ2s98Vy_vBbl-73IK6d3DSj5FoFPQ9zOe_tjbmWM7Yog' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Our first trick or treat night at the new house was slow, which was nice.

We went to NH with Mimi (my mom) to see Alli graduate & visit with family. Played in the pool, checkup revealed that Sierra's hips & knees are in good shape, are fascinated with keys, found out that the reusable grocery bags hold children well, went to the zoo, hung with Auntie Freeman, had Big Smiles for grandpa & went to Comfest for the first time!

Sierra is keeping us busy. We have had a baptism, started swim lessons, have been practicing balance & took a trip to the conservatory for mother's day. In between all that stuff play play play! So long story short Sierra doesn't mind being "dunked". She is a good sport about cold water (which is a huge surprise since she screamed bloody murder the first 4 months of her life at bathtime:) I don'tknow what we did but Sierra FINALLY has a standard bedtime of 8:15...I don't know why that specific time since we aren't very rigid about schedules, but she must eat at 6:30 and go to bed at 8:15...or else the grunting starts. Grunting = sleepy.ShortyDesignershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00197792111100548048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370561071409509013.post-62020077051154562282008-03-28T11:45:00.000-07:002008-03-28T11:53:47.220-07:00<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fsiroisdesign143%2Falbumid%2F5182860560050790929%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="267" width="400"></embed><br /><br />This has been a busy few weeks of firsts. Not that all weeks aren't busy - but we have had a visit from Grandma Garrison, learned to sit up pretty much all the time and have been so much fun to play with! We have tried all solid fruits and vegetables and cereals that we can & definitly like the oatmeal and peaches the best. Sierra is truly a very happy girl and dare I say I think we have be spoiled with such an easy first child.ShortyDesignershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00197792111100548048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370561071409509013.post-53724043676907223142008-03-10T12:09:00.000-07:002008-03-10T12:16:56.064-07:00Blizzard<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fsiroisdesign143%2Falbumid%2F5176192079686136049%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br /><br />Okay so Ohio never gets snow - let alone 20"of snow. Here is what we did over the weekend...or rather what Brian did since I was pretty sick and couch bound. He brought the snowman to Sierra since she doesn't really have the ability to "play"in the snow yet. He also made a running path for Maya since she is too short to jump snowbanks and needs low places to poop. My contribution was picking up the glow ball as Sierra kept smacking it so it would roll off of her swing...ShortyDesignershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00197792111100548048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370561071409509013.post-79077263467088685472008-03-05T09:06:00.000-08:002008-03-05T10:05:15.426-08:00March Madness<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fsiroisdesign143%2Falbumid%2F5174307536427790897%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="267" width="400"></embed><br /><br />Lots of events, lots of photos. Besides trying new foods Sierra has gone hiking, had her first (2) overnight stays, rolled over and nobody but the dog saw her do it(:(), and has been pleasantly entertaining as she is perfecting her laugh as we play peekaboo and other silly games.<br /><br />If you notice that Sierra doesn't smile for photos it's b/c she is mesmerized by the flashing light and stops all smiling to stare at it.ShortyDesignershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00197792111100548048noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370561071409509013.post-21597545660212157562008-02-14T10:14:00.000-08:002008-02-14T10:18:21.298-08:00Brian, Shorty, Daddy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu04BhqvYIRJCCJgD2YHRT5mFl2ZO5dt24ExcdFQEr4kCsc7CGS5WGkLmOtLQa9e2yacmCEBCnQfYS6YHVOxLMQZk3PKlrxr9chrbv_LSNJ1ILCv4WC0nAo9o-zDZiITF1HFH5WKv_JuE/s1600-h/towely_head.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu04BhqvYIRJCCJgD2YHRT5mFl2ZO5dt24ExcdFQEr4kCsc7CGS5WGkLmOtLQa9e2yacmCEBCnQfYS6YHVOxLMQZk3PKlrxr9chrbv_LSNJ1ILCv4WC0nAo9o-zDZiITF1HFH5WKv_JuE/s320/towely_head.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166901457639856322" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwVXkgRmpUw-MAXOBR5cAg2avfluJjgxN-MYo2jbKMzY2nT7OCbxv14oT9r4J6mqEwFcR7UwTdJeYc16N53xTQN9X_UdkUayKYaLSbJpssS00_8GRz_lNGppVuYFYvEDD4jyuydFf2CYI/s1600-h/sierra_mary1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwVXkgRmpUw-MAXOBR5cAg2avfluJjgxN-MYo2jbKMzY2nT7OCbxv14oT9r4J6mqEwFcR7UwTdJeYc16N53xTQN9X_UdkUayKYaLSbJpssS00_8GRz_lNGppVuYFYvEDD4jyuydFf2CYI/s320/sierra_mary1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166901337380772018" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dad has this new thing for covering Sierra's head with wash cloths, burp cloths...she looks kind of holy with the (clean) burp cloth on her head.ShortyDesignershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00197792111100548048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370561071409509013.post-76892467081856566172008-02-14T09:50:00.001-08:002008-02-14T10:14:10.881-08:00Crafting again....apparently all red<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwyVfASEb4OsQQlBzb34KufqvrB8ieFv7Ipdle5N8VOAkPkyDvUiObLsMfMtdbEINeHKgH7D_jtc0V2oXkCWEDiSnKF0aw0gLdQW-gWwr6SmFTN-RAFKW_3LcFSxwq6zKyYBldYZt0nhY/s1600-h/cute_bib.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwyVfASEb4OsQQlBzb34KufqvrB8ieFv7Ipdle5N8VOAkPkyDvUiObLsMfMtdbEINeHKgH7D_jtc0V2oXkCWEDiSnKF0aw0gLdQW-gWwr6SmFTN-RAFKW_3LcFSxwq6zKyYBldYZt0nhY/s320/cute_bib.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166900272228882594" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc5eT563apjenm8tCXI-ViuOZUNKqVEMpR0E0lV2Dm_C2r0ULDE7eryZ_dDKdS35IlagkRwaXrHVT7WZvu1yO4EIG03Zc6SBF4Ws2g5FbesuN4PtY6lQsx3mXoyGGI-0zh00MjinrSOAE/s1600-h/mrs_sylvia_bag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc5eT563apjenm8tCXI-ViuOZUNKqVEMpR0E0lV2Dm_C2r0ULDE7eryZ_dDKdS35IlagkRwaXrHVT7WZvu1yO4EIG03Zc6SBF4Ws2g5FbesuN4PtY6lQsx3mXoyGGI-0zh00MjinrSOAE/s320/mrs_sylvia_bag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166898524177193106" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Made this bag for Sierra's teacher Mrs. Sylvia for Valentines day & the bib for Brilee Rose.

She blows raspberries with a mouth full of her cereal so it splatters all over her face, the highchair & me. Then she just laughs. Can't wait for the really good stuff like peas and squash:) Of course when babies start eating foods they should have better trunk control...and be at least close to sitting up. She is not quite there but getting pretty good at it. <br /><br />Of course we had to have a special b-day event for Maya so we got another stuffed squeaky toy for her to tear the fluff out of. This toy actually lasted a few days.
