6 Month Well Check Appointment
Six months, gone in a blink of an eye. Miss Sienna is doing great....she's a healthy, happy, curious baby girl. Her 6 month check up reaffirmed what we have the pleasure of seeing each and every day - she is blossoming in every way.
Weight: 18.15 lbs (88%)
Height: 27.5 inches (95%)
Head: 17 cm (76%)
Sienna is on track with the suggested immunization schedule. This time she had two shots and one oral. Like most everything else....she continues to do well with shots. She may fuss a little bit the day of, but she takes them like a champ!
At this stage, the doctor was really interested in Sienna's developing social skills. Will she track objects? Grab for things? Laugh? Vocalize? Engage? Smile? My little bambino passed with flying colors. I am grateful for her health and I don't take it for granted. Down hill to one year, little one.
I am very pleased with her doctor's office. The staff is friendly and the place runs on time -- major pluses for the working mom!
Say cheese sweet girl!

Visit From Grandma
My mom came to visit for a week in June and it was
awwwwesome! Jack was out of town for my brother's bachelor party, so I could
use the extra hands and I always enjoy the company. We had a wonderful time. We
went to swim lessons, watched movies, had dinner and she even watched the girls
so I could go to my hair appointment - hooray! Shelby immediately wanted to
play with her on the iPad and Sienna had changed immensely since Grandma's last
visit in January. Here are a fun few memories from the visit. We can't wait to see
you again soon!

The Happiest Place on Earth
Disneyland really IS the happiest place on Earth. No really. Every person, young and old was in a wonderful mood and the joy that runs across every child's face is infectious. We had an ammmmazzzing trip. We decided to do Disneyland instead of throwing a birthday party for Shelby. Clearly the trip was more moola, but sooo worth it! This post could be 4,000 words if I detailed all our adventures, but in total - we had a wonderful time.
We got rained on for a little while the first day, but it wasn't too bad and we knew it would be temporary. Jack and I both thought that we'd spend our trip on kiddy rides and in princess castles, but much to our delight, Shelby had a need for speed and did ALL the roller coaster that she was tall enough to ride.....even the pitch black Space Mountain and the 50-foot drop Splash Mountain. We have a video of Shelby on Splash Mountain and she giggled all the way down the shoot!
We opted to not take our big camera into the park, but we got some great photos on our phone. HUGE shout out to Jack's parents who came with us and took care of Sienna and another shout out to Jack who did all the research and arranged some great memories including lunch with princesses, breakfast with Goofy and an official Bippity Bobbity Boo makeover!
Shelby was over the moon just to be in a hotel. Going to Disneyland, meeting princesses and seeing fireworks were all gravy!
I think she was most interested in the "mean witch" in the window of Snow White's castle and was rather impressed with the Jungle Cruise and Thunder Mountain. She kept saying things like "this stuff is pretend, right mom?"

5 Months
This is the face of happy, chubby 5 month old baby girl.
Holy smokes is this baby full of joy. She is the BEST and I think the favorite at school....I am just going to go out and say it! Here is what five months is looking like...
Clothes - 9 month
Diapers - Size 3
Sleep - 11 hours....and then I have to wake her up! On the weekend she can go 12 or 12.5
Giggles - ALWAYS!
Best Friend - Shelby
Favorite Toy - Plastic "cell phone" from Liffey and Sophie the Giraffe
Favorite Discovery - Her footsies
Eating - Only milk. We tried cereal a few times, but it did not go over so well, so we'll wait
Bottle Nipple - Stage 2
Rolled Over - A few times, back to front only
What makes me MAD as a hornet - Being awake past 7:45 p.m.
Naps - 3 - 4 a day
Other: slobber monster who makes the CUTEST sounds in the world.
Here is Shelby at five months.

Dance Recital
Shelby participates in her school's dance program. Last weekend they put on an end-of-year recital. I had no idea what to expect, and I have to say - it was pretty darn cute. There were moments when Shelby was totally into it and others when she was so scared and shy. The whole thing was precious though. I am so glad that we live in an era where it is so easy to capture this type of thing.

1st Water Balloon Fight
I think Shelby might have a new, favorite outdoor activity - water balloons! I will tell you, filling them up is a MUCH easier process than it used to be! It was a joy to watch these two. Naturally, the took a cheap shot at me too and I ended up soaked as well :)
And here is one of the cutest onlookers that you ever will see!
