Fort cave

...and tunnel

Daddy and the kids had a blast making and playing in this fort! The tunnel was the most fun and they both kept going through it over and over!

I LOVED seeing them play so well together!!! It was a sweet glimpse into what their sibling play will be like, as Reid gets older. Sierra kept trying to get him back in the fort by putting his toys inside and saying "baby Reeeeeeid!!!! Your toys are in here!! Come on REEEEID!!! Come inside!!"

When he would crawl in, she just giggled and laughed. It was so cute. They'd follow eachother in the tunnel, then out, then in again...over and over. Even Daddy crawled in there!

What a fun Daddy!!

(sorry for all the blurry pics, but they were just too fast!)

Beautiful boy :)

Isn't he?!!

Swiiiiing

Pure joy!

Toddler words

Sierra has been talking since she was 10 months old... and literally hasn't stopped. She amazes me daily with her near perfect grammar, vocabulary and sayings.

...but she's still only 2...

These are my favorite words of hers that she still doesn't say quite right:
* hippo-mo-potamus
* it popped-ed
* g-raffe
*

iColoring

Sierra loves playing with my iPhone and mastered it long ago.

She loves to look through pictures, watch videos Ive taken, play matching games, watch Dora, do puzzles, play Alphabet games... and "color".

I guess this is part of the i___ generation.

I often find her work saved to my photo album. Here's what I just found :)

Sierra funnies

* because of my fear of dirty public restrooms (and due to convenience), we have taken Sierra's little potty with us on occasion. it's a hilarious sight! so far she has shamelessly peed in these spots: pulled over on a random residential street, at the park while watching other kids play, and at a truck stop on the way to Dallas (she kept saying "Wow, this is sooo cool! This is fuuun!")

Flying

Conversation from the backseat:

S: (holding a helium balloon) Mommy, can we go outside and fly?
Me: Fly?! We can't fly, we don't have wings.
S: Yes we can!
Me: Can you fly? I don't know how.
S: Mommy can you try? Can you try to fly with me?
(how could I turn down that sweet request?!!)

So....we held hands in the front yard while Sierra held the balloon, counted to three...and tried to fly!

It was a sweet memorable moment. But Sierra was a little disappointed we never made it off the ground.

So in the end we let the balloon go and watched IT fly :)
