3 months old!

Hard to believe that baby girl Sierra is already 3 months.  Sierra is just an absolute joy.  She is SO easy going.  Loves her swing, loves to just sit and chat and the smiliest baby i have ever seen.  Alana is getting better and better with her and keeps telling her they are "best friends."   Sierra is pretty close to sleeping through the night, but she is still waking up here and there for a pacifier fix.   She is starting to really discover her voice, so there is LOTS of chatter and it keeps getting a higher and higher pitch.  It really takes a lot for her to get mad enough to really scream and cry, so that is nice!!  She is also trying to figure out her hands and how to use them to get her pacifier.  It's pretty cute.  Needless to say, we love our little addition!!! 

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween!!!  It is amazing how many kids Halloween events there are!  We went to a party at her gymnastics studio mid-week.  It was insane.  Alana was dressed as a witch and loved running around with all the other kids.  It was a little bit crazy with so many kids, but she seemed to enjoy it!  Sierra was a trooper as I just slung her over my arm and she slept like that for 1.5 hours while we walked around this crazy party.  

She also got to wear her costume to school, but I did not get any pictures that day.  Apparently a stomach bug went around that day and about 80% of her class got sick.  She ended up throwing up that night, but ended up ok after that.  Thank goodness!!!  Luckily, Sierra never got sick.

We started the day with the Monster Mash Dash--50 yard dash for kids down by the lake.  I thought she would be pretty hesitant and i was right.   I finally convinced her to run and she ended up crying half way through.  i think the large crowd freaked her out.  she wasn't alone--half the 2 to 4 year old bracket was in tears!!!  Maybe next year!!  For Halloween, Alana dressed up as Snow White.  She was so excited.  She was a bit overwhelmed by the trick or treating, but once she went to a few houses, she was totally into it.  I had to negotiate away some of her candy, but I think we are all good now.  Sierra was a trooper and was her usual laid back self all night.  Grandma and Alicia came over and we all had a blast.  Grandma convinced Alicia to dress up like a witch and she was a real hit.  There were people line up to come here for candy!!!
