Happy Birthday Siesa


Siesa turned one today. She is still a little ball of energy. She is (like Jensen) petite she is 28 inches long and weights 17 lbs 7 oz. She does do a few signs, the important ones anyway like eat, water, milk and she says Ba (ball), Mommy, ha (hat) and uh oh. She now eats most everything but she really likes strawberries, yogurt, cottage cheese, potatoes and squash but really she enjoys playing with her food much more than eating it. Siesa loves to be in the middle of the action. No matter what is going on she wants to be involved. Siesa also enjoys being out side. If there is a puddle anywhere near she will find it. She also loves to slide and swing. Siesa is still very much attached to her thumb and walks around all the time sucking it. She will often come to me flop over, suck her thumb for 20 seconds jump up and start playing. She is a very destructive child and loves to figure out how to get things open. I can always tell where Siesa has been because there is a trail of stuff everywhere. Hopefully, soon she will not get so much enjoyment from pulling everything out of my drawers and of the shelves; we call her our little tornado. She is a very happy, messy, easy going child. We love you.

You DO have teeny but gorgeous kids. Noah will 10 months in 3 days and weighs over 22 lbs. and is about 29.5 in. tall. At least yours will stay small longer. :)

I love the dress and I think you have the cutest kids. Everytime I show pictures of them to Matt he says "I think their little boy is so cute - he looks just like Derek." But I don't think he means that he thinks Derek is cute. Anyway, I am surprised your kdis are so small, but they are darling.
