Sierra snuggles

I came around the corner on Sunday to tell the kids it was time to leave for church, and I found Sierra snuggled up next to Caleb on the couch watching Elmo.  She is so blessed to have older siblings who love her so much.

Hammock Fun

Dave used some of his birthday money to buy another hammock for camping, bringing the grand total of hammocks we own to four.  He put three of them up on Saturday and everyone enjoyed some relaxing time in the hammocks.

Another Birthday

On Saturday, we got together with my family to celebrate my Great Uncle Julian's 80th birthday .  The party was at a park, and the kids had a great time playing outside.

Happy 35th Birdthay, Dave!

Dave turned 35 on Monday.  He came home from work a few minutes early so we could have pie and open presents before going out to dinner with my parents.  I let each kid pick something for him off of his Amazon wish list, and they were so excited to show him what they had picked.

Happy birthday to a wonderful husband and daddy!  We love you!

Twenty-Seven Months

Ignore the fact that I haven't blogged in a month. Now on to Sierra. How is it possible that it has been three months since her birthday?

Here's what Sierra is up to at 27 months -

 -Weighs 25ish lbs and is about 34.5 inches tall.

- Is back to having trouble with pooping.  As soon as we get this issue figured out, it seems to get worse again.

-Wears a mix of 2T and 3T clothes.  Once the weather decided to stay warm, she'll be mostly in 3T.

-Wears a size 4 diaper.

-Naps once a day around 1:00.  Goes to bed around 8 and sleeps until about 8.  Very rarely sleeps until 9 anymore.
-Walks a lot now.  She walks around the house, around at church, and a bit outside.  She still prefers to hold someone's hand in large or unknown places.  And she's still a bit wobbly.  She has started "jumping" which is hilarious as her feet don't actually leave the ground.
-Started speech therapy.  Has added "more" and "please" to her repertoire of signs.  Will try to make sounds when working with the therapist, but still doesn't say words really.
-Has her new fairy princess orthotics, which Alexa and Jordanna picked out.
 -Sleeps in a big girl bed!  The crib that someone from church so kindly gave us shortly after we got married was picked up by the trash men today.  :(
-Likes swinging at the park.
-Loves her Daddy. Mommy is a close second.
-Loves hugs and tickles and kisses. 
-Is my sweet Sierra, and I love her lots.  Even when she's rotten.
