Snow, Snow & more Snow !

We have had quite a week of very cold temperatures and lots of snow! It all started a week ago and it came and went for a couple days, but it was very cold.  The later in the week it got, the colder it became, and the more the snow was falling. 

Earlier in the week we bundled up and went outside with Siena and let her check it out. She thought it was funny. She just kept smiling and laughing as it was snowing.  We made a snowball out of the powdery snow and let her hold it. She thought it was great. All she wanted to do was eat the snow, she held on to that snowball for as long as we were out there. Eventually it was getting too cold and we came inside. 

 Yesterday it snowed all day long, with lots of cold wind. When we woke up this morning, there was more snow (now totaling about 18 inches) with a big layer of ice covering everything because of the freezing rain in the middle of the night. It was very pretty, but we were definitely home bound today. Not sure if it will stick around to have a white Christmas

  

Dishwasher Fun

I know, I know, it has been way too long since I last updated this. But, time goes by too quickly, and before you know it, it has been a month (or longer).

Anyway, here are some recent pictures of Siena. I had to include a couple pictures of her hair that is finally growing a little, yay, Finally! It is slow but sure. If you get it just right, you can get a few curls in the back, so cute!

She is growing so fast and is trying to say all sorts of new things. Her favorite words are "oh, Hi", "up", "out" and "I see you"(when we're playing peek a boo).  Everyday she picks up a new word or two and is learning so fast. 

One of her new favorite things to do is to 'help' load/unload the dishwasher. 

She is very good about only touching her own silverware and will always take out the tupperware containers. She loves to take them out and then put them back in and then back out and so on.... I think she could play with the dishwasher all day if I let her.
