Growing up so quickly!

10 months old

It's been just over 10 months since Sienna joined our little family! I can't believe how quickly it has gone and also how big she has got too. She is turning into a proper little girl now with her personality coming out!

With her crawling, she is everywhere.... in bags, in cupboard (pulling all the stuff out of kitchen cabinets!), literally anywhere she can get, she will go!! Her favourite game at the moment is 'I'm coming to get you....', then you chase her whilst crawling! Sh absolutely loves it!!

Sienna's favourite TV show.... Yep, 'In The Night Garden'. I bought her the musical Igglepiggle that Iyla had in Spain. She loves it and loves chewing it's nose off.... weird!

She is able to hold her own bottle now. We still have to lean her back as she hasn't worked out how to put her head back but she is getting there. It makes my life so much easier, as I can pop her pushchair down flat whilst we are out and she can guzzle her milk back. Awesome and such a clever little girl!

Went into work this week for the last time before Christmas and my boss Steven told Kimberley and I that one of us had to be made redundant.... Kimberley took it (I was gutted to begin with as I wouldn't have minded leaving with a large cheque) but in hindsight, I get a promotion with it and at least I have a job. Especially if we want to try and buy the house! Oh, the house.... we are currently having estate agents round to value and so far I think it may be out of our budget but we will see.... I think the landlord may want circa £435k which is more than we wanted to pay but fingers crossed he has a bit of flexibility as I would love to stay here as we have built a lovely home!

Halloween, Bonfire Night and first crawl!

9 1/2 months old

Of course, you guessed it..... I had to dress Sienna up on her first Halloween. She looked sooo cute!!!



I was up at the folks so Dad, mum and I did some pumpkin carving. Check how cool they look! We used a stencil kit from Waitrose, it was awesome and so easy to do. Of course Sienna is a little too young to understand what was going on but we still showed her some sparklers, flying lanterns and the pumpkins just to get her involved. She did love the sparklers!




It was the Halloween weekend when bubs started to crawl (or drag herself along really) but literally within a week she became so good at it. She is now crawling all over the place and we so need to baby proof the house big time!

Sienna still hasn't given us a good big baby belly laugh but she does giggle a fair bit. Usually when we are being big kids ourselves! It;s very cute and just gives you this gorgeous warm fuzzy feeling inside when she does.

She is eating so well, it's crazy. I haven't had her weighed in such a long time but I think when I do she must have put on so much weight. She eats so much and is now down to 2 milk feeds a day. Its so lovely to see her scoff her face with 'proper grub' and watch her enjoy it. Also lovely when we are out and she can sit at the table eating with us. I think she loves it too! We have to have a wipeable splash mat under her though to catch the dropped bits!
