My little Pixie
Monday, May 6th, 2013
Sienna is more and more alert and awake everyday, probably up to 5 hours a day. Brendan and I took her to see the movie MUD this morning, she didn’t make a squeak (and a great movie!).
Here is my little pixie this arvo soaking in the sun – and a comparison photo of Page at the same age here.
Page’s first Art Show
Sunday, May 5th, 2013
Page’s school puts on a spectacular Art Show for all the kids every spring. Every room in the school was transformed into a gallery to display works by each of the age groups. Here are just a few pieces that Page either made or had a part in the making of…
Go Daddy!
Sunday, May 5th, 2013
Brendan did the Gatos Hill Crit on Saturday and did pretty well for his first time. The course was 14 laps around one of the more beautiful neighborhoods in Los Gatos and included a brutal 22% climb. Page had so much fun dressing up in her biking outfit and ringing her bell to cheer in Daddy! According to Page, her and Dad were BFF’s that day because they had matching outfits.
Bedtime shenanigans
Friday, May 3rd, 2013
We are bringing Sienna into the bedtime routine. A few books in bed, a few snuggles, some monkey business and then hopefully sleep…
The artist and the sleeper
Tuesday, April 30th, 2013
We are easing into life as a family of four. The recovery process has been much easier this time around and Sienna is letting me get lots of sleep – 6 hours last night! So far she is a no fuss baby. Brendan has been running around getting the house and cars in tip-top baby shape and hopefully his allergies will go away soon so he can get in some long paternity rides.
Page has been a wonderful big sister, always helping Mom get the wipes ready for a diaper change and eager to help sort out little sister’s outfit for the day. She is very into her art projects so we bought her this fun easel to go crazy with. This piece is called “Fireworks”.
Sienna is so sweet. Her face was pretty swollen in the days after birth, but today her eyelashes popped out and they are so dark and curly, just like Grandma Belle’s. Her eyes are a beautiful color blue, not sure if the color will stay, but it sure is fun to get a good look when she manages to stay awake which is not very long at all. Here she is doing what she does best.
Four on the couch
Sunday, April 28th, 2013
Page and I picked up Alex and Sienna from hospital at lunchtime yesterday and brought them back to the nest.
Sienna is very well behaved little girl. Even when her big sister pulls her hair. “Gently Page”
After some baked salmon we all sat on the couch together to watch Hunger Games.
Full moon babies?
Saturday, April 20th, 2013
Page decided to be born on a full moon, Aug. 23, 2010, 3:07am.
The next full moon will be April 25th, 9:57pm. Who thinks Baby S will make her appearance then?
Passing the time…
Friday, April 19th, 2013
We have one week left! I hope. I am done, dunzo, finished. Never again, right?! I am feeling pretty worn out, it feels like it is going to happen soon…
I have been trying to cherish the moments I have when its just me and Page. I feel bad as she has so much energy and all I can do is waddle behind her. I am looking forward to running, biking, and dancing again with her soon. I miss being active!
In the meantime we have been busy playing in the park, getting pedicures, going to the dentist, window shopping, painting pottery and eating Fro-yo!
