ok, so I started a post in December and just finished it and when I posted it, it put it under Dec.2009 instead of Jan.2010...and I can't figure out how to move it so that it shows up when you go to the blog...I'm stumped. any ideas?
so, to see the long (with lots of pictures) post, click on the 2009 link to the right and then on December. it's titled "catching up - part 1"
here's a direct link also: http://blueteam3.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-06%3A00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-06%3A00&max-results=26

6 years!
Kyle and I have been married 6 years to the day today!!! Happy Anniversary mi amor!
I am so blessed and honored to be married to this wonderful man!! Last night we were reflecting on our 6 years of marriage and were amazed at all that we experienced each year - the good, the fun and the challenging. It's been a great adventure. :) We have SO much to be thankful for.
So much has happened just in this last year. This time a year ago, Kyle had just started his new job at CRES, I was substitute teaching while job searching for the 3rd month in a row, we had recently moved back into our condo...and we were pregnant and didn't know it! Here we are one year later with a 4 month old precious little girl and learning how to fulfill these new roles as Mommy and Daddy!
Thanks to Capts and G.G. for coming in to watch Sierra so that we could sneak away for the night (our first time alone together since Sierra was born) to a B&B just outside of Austin. We had a GREAT time reminiscing, reflecting, relaxing, sleeping (!!!) and celebrating 6 years together. It was so weird to not have Sierra with us and sad to leave her behind, but we are thankful for the uninterrupted time to be together. (we are so fortunate to have both sets of grandparents willing to come stay a night with Sierra - my parents did 2 weeks ago when Kyle went to Philly to visit John and I went to Plano for Lauren's shower - and that we KNOW they will love on and take care of our daughter and we don't have to worry about her in their care!)
But I sure was excited to come home to that sweet smile and those chubby thighs!

oh my hands!
ok, since my catch up post is taking entirely too long to finish, i'll just start with a recent update and keep working on the catch up. i think that shorter and more frequent posts will be much easier to maintain!!
starting just before 3 months, Sierra really discovered her hands! first she would just hold one hand in the other over her chest - we think she was doing a lot of praying! it was really cute and she still does it some but not as often now that she has discovered they have other uses.

right at 3 months, she started reaching for things and touching and grabbing them intentionally - this was a fun milestone! she can grab and hold on to toys (and anything else) that hang over her or are put within reach of her hands...and of course they then go straight into her mouth! some of her favorites are: the toys on her playmat, her burp cloths (because these are easy to chew/suck on), her bottle, my hair and our hands. it is so cute that she likes to hold Kyle's and my hands...as we change a diaper, feed her a bottle, or just lay our hand on her chest :)
the last "trick" with her hands is sticking her fingers in her mouth too. her favorite is her thumb - but she puts it on the side of her mouth next to her tongue, not in the middle...it's really cute!
...and sometimes she sticks her long fingers all the way in and kind of gags herself...right after she does it, she makes this "yucky" face! but she doesn't learn, she just keeps doing it over and over...she's so funny :)
i know that milestones like these will come quickly since she is changing and developing so fast! it's been fun and makes us look forward to what lies ahead!!
