Look what I can do!

Jensen learned to do a somersault. He was so excited, he wanted to put a video up on the blog to show grandma and grandpa that he can do one all by himself.

A big girl now

I can't believe Siesa is already 18 months old.

I love her blue eyes

Here is a little bit about Siesa.

Words I can say. . . A few of the words Siesa can say. I do, mine, no, goggles, sandal, read, book, animals, car, truck, not me, door, light, up, stuck, go, happy, pool, heavy “heby”, watermelon “wamen”, apple, open, hands, please, eyes, toes, not me, want some, water, cup, play, hurt, light, knee, sorry, flower, puddle, swimming “mimin”, water “wawa”, hands, tiger, night, froggy, hungry “hungy”, okay, and rabbit.

What I’ve learned to run and jump, Siesa is always on the move and is so happy running and jumping even though when she runs she looks like she will fall at any minute, and she often does, but she always gets up smiling.

Favorite food- watermelon, cheese, yogurt, cauliflower, spaghetti, gold fish crackers

Favorite songs If your happy and you know it, row row row your boat, itsy bitsy spider.

I like to . . . play in the water. Siesa love to play in any kind of water: the pool, puddles rain, bathtub, sink, water cup, and basically anything else wet. Anytime it rains she immediately wants to put on her jacket and run outside. This summer we enjoyed many trips to the pool. She had no fear of the deep end. I only had to pull her out of the water a couple of times.

One other thing Siesa likes to do is to take something with her anytime we go anywhere. As soon as we start heading for the door she scurries around the room to find something (or many things) she can pick up and carry with her. She gets very upset when we have to tell her she has to leave something behind.

I don’t like . . .Bugs. Siesa gets very upset when she sees a bug, she constantly points it out and can’t let it go until it is moved or squished. She also does not like sharing or being told what to do. She always has her own plan in mind.

Bug Attack

So, the other morning I was out watering my garden and innocently walked passed my blueberry bush when I got this severe pain in my knee. Shortly after that I had this strange red rash on my skin. Later, I went outside to find what had caused the pain and I discovered the most odd looking bug I have ever seen (actually there were six of them.) I promptly removed them (with a stick of course) from my garden and disposed of them properly. I will never cease to be amazed by the interesting looking insects and bugs I find in my yard and house. Gross.
