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.

Blizzard

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...

March Madness

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.

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.

Brian, Shorty, Daddy

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.

Crafting again....apparently all red

Made this bag for Sierra's teacher Mrs. Sylvia for Valentines day & the bib for Brilee Rose. This is a first for me to add the gathered ribbon...gives me a whole slew of ideas for new things to make!

Welcome mini Sam!

And lets give a shout out to Baby Sam Hugh Ralston born this past Monday Feb 11th!! So happy for Hugh & Liz...and for Sierra to have a camping buddy that she can play in the dirt and go fishing with!

Happy Valentines Day!!

We dressed for the occasion today in the Christmas/Valentines day dress Mimi got, the leggins from BFF Brilee Rose, the cashmere booties from Aunties Sarah & Choppa and the Valentines bear from Grandma & Grandpa Short. When we got to daycare everyone was gushing over Sierra:)
