The giggles!!!

10.11.13 (13 weeks)

So baby girl is almost 3 months here and the wave we're riding now is that she has discovered her tongue... she sticks it out all the time in a playful manner, she is discovering her hands more, and she is rolling over more frequently. She is putting up  with our ever demanding schedule, and we love her for it. 

What an amazing weekend of seeing great friends, witnessing a marvelous wedding in the redwoods, and being in a spectacular environment that Gus and I both love?! The trip to Arcata was flawless! Lucas and Katie had a beautiful wedding! Quite a few of our friends who were at the wedding have babies too, so Sierra was able to get great bonding time in! Our friend Ashley was so happy; she's holding Amanda and Dan's 8 month old and Sierra at our rental house. She is one of those women that you know is meant to be a mom.

Gus, Sierra and I took pictures from the photo booth at the wedding. We stayed with a great group of our friends from the area, and could never replicate such a wonderful weekend again (but sure hope we can come close, in the future). 

On Monday our nanny/sitter came back after a month of having family sit for us; Sierra hasn't seen Bailey and her babies for awhile! She loves hanging out with them, and now I don't cry when I leave her either. Between how wonderful Bailey is with her and how much the babies get along, I have just realized it's just a great thing for everyone. Here's Addie pushing Sierra in her swing. 

On Monday night I picked up my dad from the airport for a week-long stay with us. He sit for us Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. He had a blast and so did Sierra (as this video demonstrates)!  

My dad loves being Grandpa! 

On Tuesday night, Grandpa Jeff, Grandma Starr, and Auntie Lyn came over for dinner at our place. We felt lucky that Lyn made the dinner, especially since I didn't get home until 7:20pm!  Everyone had a great time talking about their adventures (Jeff and Starr in Costa Rica and my dad heading to Australia). Jeff and Starr spent the night too, so we had a full house!

On Wednesday morning I dropped off my dad at yoga class, while Sierra and I went to our moms' group. The yoga class "kicked his butt" so he didn't go to the movie night at Jill, Ian, and Marion's house that night. Gus and I really enjoyed it! They projected a movie onto a sheet in their backyard for a bunch of their friends. Sierra slept the whole time; we had her in a cozy fleece attire. 

Thursday morning my dad came with us to swim class! He liked seeing that all babies are as spastic with their movements at this age as Sierra is. One of the women from the moms' group is in our class.

Sierra is still quite entertained with other babies and enjoys the songs and variety of colorful pool toys.
