Finally caught her walking!

I have been trying to catch her on video of her walking and finally got her! It is quick and right at the beginning so be prepared. The problem with our place is that there is not a lot of open spaces. She uses things to help her when she doesn't need to. I've noticed when she doesn't have things to hold onto, she is fine but if it's there she will use it.
She also, in this video, does something with her food tray, which she has never done before, and I don't know where that came from. It was a long day though! She put on her party dress for her Auntie's baby shower which was fun!

Trying new foods

The other night I tried to give Sierra some new foods like real veggies and some salmon. Here is a video of her experience.

1st babysitter experience

This last Saturday Erik and I went out to dinner with some friends and we had my friend, Mira, from work watch Sierra for the first time. We have had Grandma watch her before but this was the first "non family" member watching her. I am happy to say, they both survived each other with flying colors! Not to mention there were no tears when we left. Phew! Here are some pictures from when we came and hung out after our dinner and from this weekend.

Updates for the little one

Sierra's first Halloween came and went without a trick or treater but I cannot wait to take her out and go trick or treating when she is older. This was the first time in, I don't know how long, that it did not rain on Halloween.
Sierra is still cruising around via crawling and moving pretty quickly with assistance of furniture and Erik said he saw her take a step by herself the other night. I watched her all day yesterday and tried to get her to repeat but I had no luck.
Here is a picture of her eating dinner a couple nights ago. She is doing this cute head tilt when she eats and then gives me this really cute smile. I just melt...

Bath time!

Sierra still loves taking baths so tonight before dinner and watching the Sounders game we squeezed in a bath. She loves splashing around, eating the bubbles, and playing with her toys. Here are a couple of pictures for all of you. Don't worry there are no X-rated ones!

Costume parties last weekend

This last Sunday we had 2 parties at the same time so we were busy! We had our weekly swim lesson in the morning which she still loves then we raced home and took a bath and ate lunch. The first party was for one of my co-workers son who was turning 1 years old, Diego. As you can see he is a little charmer and has mastered giving kisses. She loves it!

Both parties were costume parties and I had bought this cute duck costume but of course she hates hats and anything on her head so this is the only decent shot I could get of her with the cute bill on her head. The costume came with the head piece, body suit and cute duck feet.


The second party was at her boyfriend Conner's house which was for our Mommy group. Therefore we had kids ranging from around 2 months to 4 and half years old. Sierra just loves watching older kids running around. It is too cute to watch!
Here she is in between the parties catching some much needed beauty sleep!
