splish, splash!

Last Friday Sienna and I went to the splash park with some friends. She had such a good time she ended up asleep on my shoulder! So cute- that never happens anymore!




We bought Sienna a little blow-up swimming pool for the backyard and now her favorite activity is splashing! Oh no- we may have given her some bad ideas for bathtime! Hah!

6 Feet Tall- REALLY???


I took Sienna for her 6 month shots and checkup last Friday. Here are her stats:

Weight: 21.1 pounds, >100 percentile
Height: 28.8 inches, >100 percentile

The doctor predicts she will be 6 feet tall!! I guess we will have a volleyball and basketball player on our hands...or maybe a supermodel! Daddy and both Grandpas will be in hog heaven! Then again, my doctor said the same thing to my parents when I was 2 years old...and look at me...I have to round up to 5'8"!
I just love this pic of SiSi sleeping in my arms...these moments are getting few and far between these days!

VIPs!

This past week we had some Very Important People visit us! Kurt's Grandma Martens came in to visit and see Sienna for the first time! I am amazed that Sienna is able to know both her Great Grandmas on her daddy's side. I was never able to know any of my Great Grandparents growing up, so I think this is a very special thing! Grandma was a real trooper and came over to help babysit Sienna while I had an afternoon out. Then we all went to Spring Creek for some BBQ- you can't visit Texas without BBQ, right?! We also enjoyed a day at Kurt's parent's house hanging out with the entire family. Cousins Katie and Sadie also made it to Dallas last week (after a VERY LONG car trip from South Texas involving the case of the disappearing cat!). Kurt had taken my camera to Fenway Park (I'm sure he will want to post pics of this later) so Sadie and Katie if you are reading this send me pics ASAP!!





My good friend Darri, who I used to work with in Austin, also came to visit Sienna and I last week. Darri's sister lives in Frisco, so we love to spend a day with her when she comes to visit! We had a yummy lunch on the patio at Mi Cocina and an afternoon of girltime and shopping at Willow Bend! Darri is so sweet with Sienna and Sienna just loves her to pieces! Thanks Darri for the adorable outfits- she is such a cutie pie in them!

Hill Country Livin'

This past weekend we made the 6 hour drive down to Fredericksburg to visit my parents at their country house. We took Kurt's Mom and Dad along, as they had never been out there. Sienna was a really good girl considering how many hours she had to be strapped in during the car ride, but she did have a partial meltdown on the ride home! Murro and Darla have now been indoctrinated into Sienna's crying fits- they now know that this girl can really go!! We really enjoyed visiting the Indian Cave property, shopping and eating on Main Street, and just sitting on the porch with good food and good conversation! Thanks Mom and Dad for putting us up!


Shop till you drop- that's Sienna's philosophy!

Eating lunch outside at Rather Sweet...yum!

I just took this one this morning- look at those feet crossed- so cute! I think I used to sit like this too!

That smile could melt my heart!!
