That's right, the big day has happened, Cienna turned "1" today. We had a very fun party on Sunday with friends and family. Cienna enjoyed her new sports climber and lots of presents and cake made by Mommy and Auntie Meagan.
She continues to walk, unassisted, all over the house and is enjoying the new grass in the backyard. She has also learned to manage the steps to the den so no more "Mommy & Daddy to the rescue." A couple of her favorite things to do is to walk holding your finger and push her toy train around "sideways."
Enjoy the pictures of the last month.

Cienna is 11 Months Old!
We headed up to Santa Rosa for a successful and fun filled Thanksgiving where we got to visit and play with all the family, including: Great Auntie Sheryl, Uncle Jerry, and Great Grandma Nelson (GG). We also got to meet Grandma Judes which has been providing us with TONS of wonderful clothes. When we got home we were invited to Cienna's first USC vs. UCLA football party where she won big in the football pool. Everyone thought it was beginners luck but we'll see about that next year.
Soon after that, the backyard was outfitted with new grass and flagstone that we had to fence off and not play on until we returned from our Wedding/Christmas trip.
We took our 3rd road trip, for the year, to the East Bay to watch Uncle RJ and new Aunt Megan get married. Cienna was the proud flower girl and did a great job for her Uncle and Aunt! After all the wedding excitement and meeting so many new friends and family we went a little further North to Santa Rosa for Christmas.
We had some unfortunate news Christmas eve morning. While we were gone, our neighbors informed us that Cherie's car, parked in the driveway, was hit by a drunk driver and pushed on to our front lawn along with his, coming just short of the house and Cienna's room. We're glad we weren't home and nobody was hurt.
We had an amazing Christmas Eve with Grammy, Grandpa Kim, Great Aunt Bridget and Vicki, Great Grandpa Sam and Marlies, and of course, mommy and daddy. We sang and dance after we opened so many wonderful gifts.
On Christmas Day we also got to see Cousin Erik, Trevor, and Ashley, Auntie Heather, Dana, Uncle Mike and Nana and Papa. We had so much fun playing all day with more new toys that Cienna was so lucky to get from all the family.
Throughout the past month Cienna has learned so many more skills and is has gotten so big. She now will put her toys back where they came from after taking them out, and I speak full sentences in a foreign language that we're not sure which one it is. She eats pretty much any kind of food in bite size pieces which she chomps down on with her 8+ teeth. She's also gotten up to as many as 8 steps walking all by herself and loves to go up and down the steps the way daddy and mommy want her too, with ease.

Cienna is 10 Months Old!
October was packed with many exciting times. Our first pumpkin patch and first Halloween, where Cienna dressed up as a "baby bat" to go with her timely fangs. She also learned to clap, wave, and continues to crawl around and pulling herself up on anything stable or unstable. She also stands alone when positioned and takes one or two steps towards mommy or daddy. She even thinks it hilarious to feed Brodie cheerios from her high chair. I guess she hasn't learned we don't feed Brodie from the dinner table.
We went to visit Uncle Joe in San Diego and see his new house. We hiked up Cowles mountain and got to kick our legs in his 65 degree pool, while watching Brodie, daddy, and Uncle Joe act crazy and jump in.
Enjoy the photos from the last month.

Happy Halloween!
We had a great Halloween and Cienna made a perfect "bat." We went trick or treating to some of the neighbors where she had no problem grabbing the candy.
The weekend prior, we headed out to a HUGE pumpkin patch with our friends Shannon, George and Georgia. The girls got there first experience with a train ride, petting zoo and fun house. We even wheeled them around in the pumpkin cart. Check out the photos below.

Cienna is 9 Months Old!
We had another amazing month. Cienna had her first plane ride. We went up north for Matt & Stacey's wedding and she did wonderfully the whole trip (minus the pink eye which kept mommy and/or daddy home the next week.) She got to hang out with Nana and Poppa and loved every minute of it. She also got to meet many new friends such as Tom & Peggy Payne and Eric & Casey Whalen.
Cienna began crawling and exploring any where she can with the main goal of pulling to a stand on anything that is the right height. She is also cruising along all furniture that is available to her. Recently she has discovered she can also sit back down from a standing position instead of "falling."
We plan on visiting a pumpkin patch this weekend for her first halloween event. She will be dressed up as a "baby bat" to take advantage of her beautiful timely fangs. Happy Halloween!

Cienna is 8 Months Old!
Wow...again...another productive month. Cienna is about 16 pounds and 26 inches long now. She is sitting up on her own (even can pull herself to a standing position) and crawling backwards...that's right...backwards. I guess she figures everyone crawls forward...why not start our individualism now. She has a total of 4 visual teeth, 2 bottom and her fangs, just in time for Halloween. More are cutting through, but she is getting by like a trooper.
We are continuing to try new foods, most recently, pears, and she doesn't seem to hate anything. Uncle RJ and Grandpa Rolland visited and we had some good times. Uncle RJ even fed Cienna and got food all over her hair. We also got to visit with "coach" Darcie again and meet one of her friends.

Cienna is 7 Months Old!
It has been another crazy month. Cienna cut another bottom tooth right next to her other one. She is able to sit on her own now until she gets too curious about what's off to either side and leans too far and loses her balance.
One of the biggest accomplishments for Cienna over the last month has been the introduction to solid foods. So far she has tried: squash, peas, carrots, sweet potato, bananas, rice, oatmeal, and barley cereal. She is such a great eater, shovels it in, with couple of looks like "...this is new...hmm...don't know...hmm...yeah...i'll eat it!"
Daycare is going great..in fact they dedicated a slideshow on their website just for Cienna. Click here to view.
Mommy and daddy have begun on their backyard...hopefully they will have grass by the time Cienna's walking....tune in and wait and see!
