Okay, I know it's been a while since I've blogged, and I've been hearing about it! LOL.. I'm going t try to remember what all I haven't blogged about to catch everyone up. Siena recently celebrated her 8 month birthday. SO hard to believe. She'll be a year old before we realize it. Surprisingly, she has lost a pound and a half this month. That's the first time she did it. Worried as a new mom, I called my mom asking if it was normal. I was reassured it was just because she is getting more active. Boy, is she! She's still not crawling, but she's rolling everywhere she wants to go. She pushed up the other night and moved her knees, but not her hands. Needless to say, as we held our breath, she fell flat on her face. We just knew she was about to take off!

This has been long, crazy couple of weeks. Siena's eyeteeth finally broke through on February 18th. Then, we thought we saw a lighter color around her two top front teeth. So, after the many tired nights of trying to get her to sleep through the pain, we decided they were coming in, too. Her left front finally came in last week, and her right front poked through 2 days ago. We are hoping and praying teething will get easier past this point. The top teeth are pretty rough! I can't wait to see her with her front 4 teeth. She's going to look so big!

Siena is getting so good in her walker. There's no where she can't go! Which leads us to her new favorite play thing.. DIRT! Here are some pictures of incident #1:

I finally hid that flower pot, and she found another! Except for this time, I found out she likes to eat it, too! I thought she just had her hand it in, but while cleaning her, she looked at me:


We've been putting alot of time and energy into Tommy's new venture. He's had a passion for photography for a long time, but he's finally decided to push his photography as a side business. It's a hobby for him, but he can offer it at discounted prices for others since it's not his full-time career. We recently purchased some things to set up a portable studio. We're going shopping today for some different fabrics for backdrops and props. I think I'm just as excited as Tommy is! LOL.. I'm just very excited for him, because I know it makes him happy. He has his first wedding on April 9th, and some 1 year shots on the 10th. We've also got some family and senior portraits lined up for the spring/summer. Please be praying for us as we try to get his business started.

I will try to blog more often, but I am not going to promise. LOL.. It gets a little hectic through the week just trying to be a mommy, wife, and full-time worker. So, my down time at home is very limited, as I'm sure you all know.
