Our Easter

I am a little late on my Easter post!! My Mom and Dad, Walt and Bettye, have been in town for the week after Easter and we have been running around doing all kinds of fun stuff! Sienna had a wonderful first Easter filled with all kinds of fun toys, new clothes and books from Mom and Dad, Aunt Cara and Uncle Kevin, Aunt Sammie, and both sets of grandparents! She just loved spending some extra time with her Grammy and Grampy Wilson this week. She is absolutely in LOVE with my Dad! It is too funny- she just smiles and cracks up every time he looks her way! And believe me the feeling is mutual! She already knows how to wrap the guys around her finger!

Easter was so busy around our house that Mommy did some really silly things! First, Sienna was extra fussy one night and I just couldn't get her to go to sleep! Well, in the morning when I went to change her diaper I realized I had somehow double diapered her!! Poor girl- 2 diapers for the whole night! No wonder she was mad! Then the next day on Easter Sunday I put her sweet little dress on her and cut the tags out and took her over to Grandma and Grandpa Martens' house. She wore the dress the whole afternoon and finally when she went down for a nap I changed her into something more comfortable. Well, that was when I realized I had left the bloomers attached underneath the dress! No wonder that dress seemed so poofy! My lord- people are going to think I'm a BAD mother!! So, you will notice she has no bloomers on in the Easter photo below! Hah!

The First Supper...

We decided to try some rice cereal last night since we had some on hand and Sienna has been acting really interested in our food lately. Well, surprise, surprise- she really liked it and got the hang of things immediately! I thought for sure we would have to work with her a while before she actually started "chewing" it- but nope- she was on it right away! That's my girl!




Yesterday Sienna and I also spent the day at the Dallas Arboretum with Kurt's Mom (Darla), sister-in-law (Cara), and cousin (Katie). It was an absolutely gorgeous day and we enjoyed sitting outside and eating lunch at the cafe, then walking around and enjoying the lovely grounds. I had never been to the Arboretum before and shamefully didn't even know it existed! Everyone kept telling me I had to go take pictures of Sienna there while the spring flowers were pretty! So we made sure to do that! And by the way, I have never seen so many professional photographers taking pictures in all my life- we probably saw at least 10 brides and girls in quincenera dresses taking pics! Tracy- if you're reading this- you should consider this as a wedding (or at least a bridal portrait) venue!
