Sienna's 25

I saw this on Mamush's blog and had to do it for our little one:

25 Random Things About Sienna:

1) She knows all the words to 'That's Not My Name' by The Ting Tings.
2) She likes to tell Rocco what to do
3) She thinks she can swim like a fish, but we're still working on that.
4) Ni Hao Kai-Lan made her think she was Chinese.
5) We have seen a couple of movies in the theater...she calls it the Movie Station.
6) If Seth and I argue she tells us, "be nice, that's right"
7) We have to read
The Wizard every night before bed.
8) She has to have at least one wand in her bed to go to sleep.
9) She still asks me if the other children whose blogs I read are her.
10) She introduces Seth as "my friend, daddy"
11) She would eat chicken nuggets for every meal if we let her.
12) She says she is my best friend, ever.
13) She fills her shopping cart with any and everything she can fit in it and will go around the house passing those things out.
14) She is currently obsessed with playing pretend catch.
15) She NEVER stops talking!
16) When she does not get her way she stomps off and sits on the step and then comes back and tells us she is not mad.
17) If she is having a hard day and you ask her what is wrong she will tell you, 'nothing' and sigh.
18) She LOVES wizards but shakes when she talks about witches.
19) She would wear a dress every day if she could.
20) She cries when I put socks on her because she knows they are not tights which means she is not wearing a dress.
21) She is thoroughly convinced there is a "Y" in her first name.
22) She can get on my iPh*one and move the apps around.
23) We saw Cora*line (at the movie station) and this prompted many questions about 'other mothers' - she knows she has a birth mom in Vietnam, but not a clue what that means yet
24) Sienna has decided that she is 'little' and constantly talks about it (I hate this as too many people comment about it to her).
25) She still doesn't like to cuddle unless she is scared or doesn't feel well, but will kiss at us across the room and will tell us she loves us 'more and more'

Playing catch-up

It has obviously been a while since my last post. We have been doing a lot around the house. We painted the bathroom ceiling and walls. We moved Sienna into what was the office (although the computer is still in there). We had to put a shelving unit in her closet to accommodate all of her clothes. We then painted the baby's future room. Since then I have been going through all of Sienna's old clothes and toys to see what we have, what we need and what we can get rid of.

All of this has added to the tiredness I have been experiencing from the pregnancy. Add to that the fact that the computer is in Sienna's room since we haven't gotten around to adding WiFi to our house (which means no internet after she goes to bed unless it is on our iPhones) and you get no posts on the blog. I have been bad about keeping up with others blogs, too.

I am hoping to get back to posting at least weekly, so stay tuned!!

IC

Sienna just hanging out in her Illinois College sweatshirt. She is normally so put together in dresses and tights (at her demand) so it is not often she just gets to look relaxed.







Sledding

We have had quite a bit of snow this year, but it has just been too cold most of the time to go sledding. Sienna even got to make snow angels!!

Christmas - a little late

Sienna enjoyed Christmas this year...although she got tired of opening presents without being able to spend time playing with each one.

She really wasn't too sure at first:

Her favorite present was her doll house:
