Here comes the poi…

Sarena had her four month doctor’s appointment last week. Her stats are:

Height: 25 1/2 inches

Weight: 15 lbs 11oz

Halloween was so much fun. We decided that Sarena would need a day time outfit since her chicken costume was a little warm.

It has been awhile since my last post. The reason, mostly, for this is because I had a crazy week last week.  I had my first ER visit after cutting my finger in the food processor (my finger now is fine), I set the condo on fire (thankfully no damage), lost (and found) my car at UH, and other random events that led me to forget last week’s post. All of these bad events kind of overshadowed an exciting one: Sarena rolled over! Yes, I witnessed it. It has only happened once, but she is now capable of rolling over. I think she just doesn’t want to. She doesn’t enjoy tummy time very much!

Yesterday, we had our first family photos taken with Lysandra Cook. I have seen a couple of the photos already and they turned out great! I am not going to post them up here yet. I am going to wait…However, you could find Lysandra Cook’s website if you wanted a sneak peek;) She is also on Facebook. We had so much fun and Lysandra is great with Sarena.

I am happy this is a brand new week. Sarena and the dogs are looking forward to Halloween and I can’t wait to post those pics after next weekend. Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks!

BFFs

We had a good week and 1/2 when Grammy came into town. Sarena spent more time at the beach than she has in awhile. She also LOVED talking to Grammy; she would talk, talk, and talk when Grammy came into the room. And it was really nice to have some extra help around; I got a few extra naps in and was also able to go to Farrington’s homecoming football game! Thanks, Grammy for making our week fun! Sarena went into the ocean for the very first time and even did some swimming at Turtle Bay!! We love you!

Loving Sammy kisses!

Swimming at Turtle Bay!

Grammy, you are so tan!

I like to stand up now...all the time!

Yeah I hold my own books!

Thanks, Grandma for my new chair!

My Mommy's glasses are even bigger than mine;)

Grammy! Get me my sunglasses! NOW!

 I cannot believe that it has been three months since Sarena came into our world. It has been a fabulous three months and we had a fabulous weekend! We had two first birthday parties (one Saturday, one Sunday) where we had good food and good company at both;) We are all very tired and are spending our Sunday evening relaxing on the couch. Here are some pics from the week and from the birthday parties!

Our babies;)

Cory and I went out for dinner without Sarena for the first time since she was born (however, Grandpa did watch her for an afternoon while Daddy was at work and Mom got her hair did:)). Aunty Liz came over to watch her. She did great and Aunty was excited to see her big smile and dimple!  However, when we got home, Liz reported she slept most of the time and was feeling a little warm. Sure enough, she had her first fever. However, earlier today with the help of Tylenol (and one worried phone call to the doctor) she is feeling much better and the fever is gone.

After our morning walk!

This week has been pretty uneventful. Sarena and I did a little shopping  and we baked a pie. Yes, a homemade kiwi lime pie. We made our own crust and all. I say “we” because Sarena sat in the Baby Bjorn while I rolled the dough. The pie was even edible. Cory ate it…all. The most exciting thing this week was finding out there is room on my friend’s soccer team so I can play. I am back in the game! I am so excited even though I know I will be getting my butt kicked until I can get back in shape. I have not touched a ball since high school. It is going to be a great way to get back in shape and meet some new people.

Sarena is really starting to notice the world around her a lot more. She is paying more attention to Cece and Sammy and does a lot more talking to us during the day. Soon, hopefully, I will be able to post some video…Until next time, enjoy some super star pics of Baby Sarena!

She loves anything with lights and music!

Yeah, Mom, I'm ready to shop!

No, I don't have time for autographs and no more photographs, PLEASE!
