October

We went to Linvilla Orchards yesterday with a fun group of kiddos/moms. I loved the comment we got when a passerby mumbled to herself, "Looks like a stroller parade." Siena loved it and I think the trip did me a world of good, too. I need to get out of the house! Anyway, the lovely and talented Danica snapped a couple of shots of our little munchkin on some pumpkins. Love it!

Go here to see the photo talent.

Lately, Siena has been asking, no... begging, for us to read to her. She has a favorite place to read, too; it's in a child-size armchair in the corner of the toy room. I no longer can sit there to read my own books while she plays because all she wants to do is read. I'm glad she is showing interest in that, though.

Another thing she likes (and this was just discovered last night) is when we flip her in a somersault in the air (I don't know a better way of describing it.) She laughs and laughs, all the while trying to regain her balance. It's a sight to see.

She also twirls around and around in circles (sometimes with her hands above her head like a ballerina.) This also brings out the drunken walk afterward. Maybe she fell on her head one too many times when she was learning how to walk and her vestibular system was jolted. I don't know, but I hope this "balance" issue isn't permanent.

Lastly, and most cute-ly, Siena has a new cousin... well, second-cousin. Nicole had her baby!! CONRATULATIONS COLEE AND BRIAN! Little Russell is one adorable baby. If I were a true-blue Utah blogger, I would now write something like "I want to just nibble his little cheeks" or "I could squish him all day!", but I won't. That's weird.
