Our girl is actually 9 months old now. "9 months in 9 months out." I never knew that 9 months of your life would bring me, as a mother, so much joy. She said "Mon Mon" on her 9 month "birthday" (and I was so enthused!) I am so happy to be changed by her in this short amount of time!
The week went by in the typical blurry sort of way... work, too little sleep, and too little exercise. That is until we got a BURLEY HONEY BEE BIKE TRAILER! As a part of my birthday gift from a few family members I was able to purchase the bike trailer I had dreamed of for Sierra. We took a "dry run" with her on Friday to make sure that everything would be okay for Picnic Day on Saturday. She doesn't exactly like to wear her cute helmet, but she'll get used to it.
Saturday after work Grammy and Auntie came over for dinner and to spend time with Sierra before she went to sleep. On Saturday morning Sierra, Gus, and I woke up early to get ready for our trip to the UC Davis campus and Farmers' Market to see our friends. Sierra was able to interact with multiple babies. Her old boyfriend was in town (they were visiting from Illinios) and we met 2 other babies too. She crawled all over the place and found our coffee cup to entertain herself with. Her baby friend who is the same age as her has all of the same teeth and likes to walk around with his parents help too.
Lyn and Grammy met up with us and we spent some time at the green together and then later in the day we all watched the sheep and the herding dogs.
Sierra sure is confident. She is taking small steps forward more often. Usually only one but it sure is going to happen soon. We had dinner with Grammy and Lyn (they brought over some awesome food to grill up and a delicious dessert). Sierra got a few drumming lessons.
Sierra got a package from Nana this weekend and I felt it necessary to try them out immediately. She looks so cute! Grammy babysat for us while we went on a hike with our good friends Julia, Chris, and their dog Taj. All of our dogs got along very well (we were relieved to find out), and we all had a great time.
