Baby girl, I love...

your big blue eyes...

your gummy smiles...

your sweet giggles...

your quizzical eyebrows...

your girly lashes...

your cute button nose that you love to scrunch...

how you twirl your feet when you're in your stroller...

how you place your hand on mine, as if you want me to keep it there forever...

waking up to you...even when its 5:30 in the morning...

the faces you make when you don't like something you're eating...

how ticklish you are...

how you stick our your arms when you wanna be picked up...

how you  much you love your "DaDa"

how you try to grab things on the pages of your books 

& get mad when you cant...

how you hold onto our shirts when we hold you...

most of all,

I love that you're our little girl

6 months old

Dear Sienna,

I cant believe its been HALF a year since the doctor laid you in my arms

6 months since your Daddy & I fell in love with your squishy little face

yep that face right there

(you were mad I didn't let you touch the candle)

 I vividly rember organizing your clothes before you were born putting away your 6-9 month things thinking "its going to be SO long before she wears these" I blinked and you're 6 months old and here I am pulling out those clothes.

crazy I tell ya

 Here is what you're up to this month

you have the sweetest disposition, always so so happy,

 everyone who meets you is in awe of how smiley you are

you learned to sit up on your own in NY 
9/1/12 - 5.5 months

you said your first word on the same day

"dada" (totally not surprised, you're such a daddy's girl)

Something in the air in NY?

you ate your first solids - bananas, avocado, carrots

messy eater?

that would be an understatement

sometimes you use your food as finger paint, though its kinda cute

the amount of cleaning I have after is not so cute...but since you're really cute, I guess its OK...knock your socks out! :)

I dont know your stats yet

your appointment is on Wednesday 

but you're still a skinny minnie and Id guess you're no more than 14lbs

you adore Charlie, when ever you hear him (the sound his collar makes when he walks)

you get all excited and wave your arms

you take 2-3 naps a day, but you wake up 2-3 times a night

you sleep best in bed with us though we don't want to get you in that habit. Its very uncomfortable for mama who likes to spread her arms out or cuddle with Daddy. Cant do either with you in our bed

you grew some chub on your cheeks since last month

more for me to smooch :)

I kiss you allll day long

how can I not?

little miss kissablecheeks!

you love to make clicking sounds with your tongue at whoever you see hoping they do it right back at you, when they do...you give a big smile

I could talk about you all day long, but I think this post is getting way too long already! Happy HALF birthday my beautiful girl. I'm looking forward to what next month has in store I'm excited to take you to a pumpkin patch!

We love you
more than words can say
