Siena LOVES her new ride, bounce, & spin zebra from her Aunt Michelle & Uncle Steve. Lots of fun!!! (Now in February, she is a pro at getting on and off of it by herself. She even holds books while riding it. Funny!)


On January 5th, our playgroup celebrated all of our little members' birthdays with a birthday bash at the Southwest Community Center. We started out in the Kid Central Playroom with toys, lunch, and cake. Then we moved into the East Gym for some fun with balls, cars, slides, and mats. We all had a really good time! (We were missing Atticus and his parents who recently moved to Bend, and Isabel and her parents, who were out of town. Also, Daddy was ill that week and was not able to come to the party. We missed him, and he was sad to have missed the fun. Good thing for cameras, at least!)



Here we are celebrating Daddy's birthday at Claim Jumper. Grandma Braley was with us since she had been here during the week to watch Siena in case Mommy got a substitute teaching job. (Mommy had 2 different jobs this week.)

This past weekend (Feb. 2nd) we had some snow. Siena enjoyed playing with some of the slushy stuff that we put in a container. Brrr...cold!

Siena has really been a busy girl in the past 1 -1/2 months. Most recently she began to scoot around on her wheely bug (shown here). She loves being able to get around in a different way. She also likes to push it while standing. (She kind of uses it as a walker, I guess.) Today she got out her little book that is about a bee, and cruised over to where the wheely bug was. She pointed at the book and at her larger bee...she thought it was so cool that they were both bees!
