Christmas Photos

It's the new year and I'm already behind! Before I post Sienna's 14 month photos, here's some more from 2008.

At 13th months (around the holidays), Sienna started becoming mommy's little helper. She loves bringing me things like my shoes or her jacket when she wants to go outside. If I ask her for a diaper she goes to where they are in her room and brings one to me unless she doesn't want me to change her.
She knows when it's bathtime that she needs to get a towel and wash cloth from her room, and all her bath time toys. It's really cute seeing her get all excited and knowing what she needs to do while I fill the bath tub.

Here is a few from christmas day and earlier this month when we visited Melinda, Sienna's godmother.

Update!

Sorry, no new photos. I just wanted to write down some stats before I forget.

Sienna started walking before her first birthday, but today I definitley noticed she is walking more and occasionally crawls.

I think she just went through another growth spurt too. The cute baby chubby legs are gone, and she looks more kid-like and less baby every day.

Sienna is learning very quickly now. Her first real word is ball. Everything round she calls a ball, including an orange she tried to bounce.

Her favorite book is Panda Bear, Panda Bear What Do you See? Illustrated by Eric Carle. I have to read it to her every night before bed. She calles it baak.

Tonight I told her, "Sienna go brush your teeth." On her own, she walked from her bedroom to the bathroom and pointed up toward the sink. She really likes to brush her teeth, and won't let me help her.

Sienna likes all the solid foods we've introduced to her so far, except for avacados. It's the only thing she spit back up and put back onto her plate. I thought, maybe she just wasn't use to it, but then she proceeded to hand me one at a time each little chunck I had chopped up for her. It was one of those moments I wished I had on video.

Pictures from last Saturday coming soon!!
