First boat Ride

Yesterday we took a family trip out to San Francisco from Larkspur. Sienna enjoyed her first trip on a Ferry.

closing of 2009

A late update! I don't know where the end of 2009 went. For my failed 2 months in a row update,
Here is a video clip of Sienna singing her ABCs at 25 months, and a typical end of day playtime in her room. She is still wanting me to sing her ABCs everyday on the ride home from school. Old McDonald is the other song she enjoys a lot.
Sienna's vocabulary is growing a lot with more complex sentences. A little parot these days repeating everything she overhears, so we have to be careful what we say around her!








Sienna back in December. I will post some from January soon!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sienna!

We had an animal themed birthday party for Sienna. She loved everything from opening presents, to the balloons, and the animal crackers. When it came time to sing "Happy Birthday" and blow out her cake, she was a little concerned. I think her favorite part of the day was getting to ride her new tricycle.

Happy Halloween!




This year Sienna was going to be a pumpkin for Halloween. I bought her costume earlier in the month instead of waiting until the last minute like last year.
Good thing, she hated it, but loved the pumpkin bag. I tried every day for a week to get her into the costume before returning it to the store.
At the store I showed her all the different things she could be, but it was still "No no no!"

I remembered the butterfly wings that her grandmother got her ( she liked those ok ) and the tiara she grabbed from the toy chest during her first visit to the dentist ( she liked it). I found a purple fairy dress to tie everything together, and finally tricked her into wearing it.

New quotes for this month:

"Two big pumpky"

"Happy see you"

ABCD

It's literally the ABCD song (not to be confused with the ABCs).

22 months

Tons of new vocabulary (dark, park, pool, MINE, names of classmates and teachers, numbers one and two.)
Sienna is a bit aggressive now, she definitely enjoys using the word mine. We need to work on the hitting and pushing. We have to keep an eye on her with our cat, but she is getting better especially now that I showed her how to feed Zacky treats.

Sienna is very independent and has to do everything herself these days, I hope these toddler tantrums are not a sign of what to expect when she turns 2.

Tonight's 22month picture came past her usual bedtime and she was very cranky. I couldn't pry away the Binky... She was very curious now about how the camera worked especially the video recording, so I showed her. I think she got the concept of how it works because she had a fit again when I tried to resume the picture taking.

Here is the best from the group. Sienna and her monkeys. Once there was one, now she has two.
Her uncle gave her the first one for Christmas, but then she saw a bunch of them on display the last time we went shopping and had to grab them all . Thomas thought how nice it would be to have a backup favorite toy.
