Big Girl

At Siena's 18mt appointment she put up some pretty big numbers in terms of height and weight! She was 26lbs and 32 inches long which put her in roughly the 70th percentile for both. Coming from Nick and I, who are hardly tall people (Nick is average and I am...not), this was big news, especially after the pediatrician predicted she might be a staggering 5'4"-5'6"!!

Excitedly, I called Nick to tell him the BIG news. He says, "weren't you the same height at her age?" popping the proverbial bubble of me thinking Siena had ANY chance to be taller than me. NO! It couldn't be!! I immeadiately called my Mom to ask.... "Yup, you were the exact same height at her age, and at 24mts you were 34 inches!" my Mom exclaimed.

Damn.

Fun Evenings

Amy and I like to take the girls to the pool for dinner sometimes so they can let off some steam before bedtime. I can also typically count on Siena having an awesome night of sleep after ;-)

It was a beautiful evening and a fun time (as always).

Cleo Comes to Visit

Our friends Mike and Nancy came to visit with their little girl Cleo this past wkd. Nancy and I were pregnant at the same time with the girls being born just about 3wks apart. The only bad thing about this story is that Mike and Nancy live ALL THE WAY in CA. So Cleo and Siena had never met until this wkd. We only had them at our place for a night but we all had lots of fun, especially Cleo and Siena. Here are a few pics of them having a GREAT time together ;-)


We can't wait for your next visit!!

30 wks and Counting the Minutes...

Well, I officially only have 10wks to go and this is starting to get a bit more difficult... Siena wanting to be picked up, working as a nurse in an ICU, general stuff to do around the house...this is all met with me being a whole lot more tired and much less mobile as well ;-) A big 'ol belly does not make for swift, accurate movements. More often than not, my belly bumps into things before I know they are there. Overall though, this has been an easy and FAST pregnancy. I can't believe that in less than 10wks there will be a new member of our clan to love. It's scary but exciting at the same time!

"Siena, where is baby brother?"

"Siena, can you give baby brother a kiss?"

Siena is ready to be a big sister

Daddy and Siena Time

Weekends are always a fun time for all of us. Siena is always psyched to play with Daddy (because he always lets her do more fun stuff than mommy will let her do...) and I am always psyched to have some help in wearing her out! Here are some fun pictures from the park:

Trip to MA

We went to MA for a little while and had a blast during our short visit. Here are just some pics of the fun Siena had...
