it's been too long...

it's been wayyy to long... i'm so sorry at my lack of keeping up with this blog. Life just isn't the same - not like on bed rest, when i had all day everyday just to blog! i now have a full time job as a mommy to a VERY mobile 9month old, AND a full-time "business" that fell into my lap! *So very thankful for both!*

It's almost like i dont know where to start. Lets start with the little bebe! 9months...almost 10months, and i just can't believe it. i keep begging for time to slow down with her. Sienna is seriously the BEST.BABY.EVER. she's just soooo easy...so happy...soo content...and such a joy as rick and i both crack up at her all day long!

She's still just an itty bitty - and i'm trying my best to pack the lb's on the little bug, but she obviously has her daddy's metabolism. Just a wee one only not even 16lbs yet in the 3%. But she loooves food. I still nurse her 5x times a day - and she eats baby food 3x a day. pears, prunes, peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, avocado, yogurt...and just starting on a bit of table foods.

Her two cute little bottom teeth are in and have been for a couple of months now - and just a couple weeks ago in Vail, we noticed ALL 4 TOP teeth were all starting to bust through! this girl is the most amazing teether i tell ya! hardly a peep out of her! she just tends to suck her two favorite middle fingers a little more often.

She's starting to use her "baby signs" - "more" "all done", "bye bye". She is turbo crawling and INTO EVERYTHING! love her sweet smile and her little mischievous look when she knows she's into the plant dirt!

This month we took a vacation (with friends and family) to our favorite winter spot: Vail. Here's a few pics from the crazy relaxing trip!


"insta-friends" just like their mommies were 14 years ago!



headed out on a walk with our two polar bears!

she loooves the snow!

  1. Hi Melissa, I just wanted to give a mommy suggestion. If your sweet girl is having a hard time gaining weight remember carbs from grains like hot oat cereal and cream of wheat, especially with milk, give moving babies lots of energy. Plus, hot cereal is one of those things you don't need to make seperate for just her, which saves time and is fun.
