Another seemingly big week in development for our little one! She is managing to sit-up every once in awhile now (after we sit her down). Now she is starting to use her arms more in her crawling attempts; she goes onto her elbows and then draws her legs underneath her. It seems as if she is more content playing on a blanket on her tummy than ever before. When Gus gives her the bottle she holds it in with her hands now. Thank goodness she is eating again for him and Bailey! She isn't eating much from the bottle, but she is now eating rice cereal (which we introduced on Saturday to her... we actually thought rice cereal was rice crispies at first... Bailey showed us it is actually the powdered stuff). On Thursday she went underwater (1-2-3 UP and UNDER) in her swim class, and did really well with it! When she came back up everyone was cheering, so she looked around and smiled at everyone. She really is growing up fast. It feels like Gus and I are just starting to come above water too (we are actually getting more uninterrupted sleep).
This past Friday I put our ornaments up on a laundry line with clothes pins (because we don't have space for a tree). Sierra loved looking at them as I held them up to her.
Saturday we stopped by to say goodbye to her "boyfriend" Marion and our friends Jill and Ian before the shove off on their move to Illinois. They will be missed, not only because they were great people but especially since they are some of the only people we hang out with in Davis!
Later that day we picked some of the wonderful greens that Gus had planted in our garden. He did a great job with the spinach, mixed greens, kale, chard, and parsley... we were able to use it in our dinner too! Sierra was my little helper (not really but she watched me pick); she had to get seriously bundled up! This was the day we also first introduced her to rice (albeit crispy) cereal... she seems to like it!
On Sunday we went to brunch at all of our friends' (Carmen and Michi) house with, Lyn. We introduced Sierra to kittens, cats, bunnies, rabbits and another flock of four chickens! Sierra had a great time at the brunch, and later that day came with me to the Cross-country banquet. What a trooper that girl is!
