Wow, time flies by.  We have just had another wonderful round of family come in to visit.  My sister came first and we had a super time hanging out with Siena, going on walks, giving her baths, playing and just getting Auntie Alicia time.  Then my Mom came in for some Gammie time.  We relaxed around the house, and spent some quality just catching up and having a splendid spa day with Angi.  Matt's parents and Grammy just left on Tuesday.  We had fun playing cards and going up to Cripple Creek and just having some more quality time with Great Grammy, Emme and Poppop.  It has been a wonderful last month with family.  Siena is getting so much more interactive now.  She has her 4 month appointment in a couple weeks and then we will get an update on her weight.  She is not a chubby baby, but just a long one.  She has the most amazing smile that just lights when you look at her.  She is really working hard on her tummy.  I don't think it will be too long until she rolls over.  The dogs love their new "sister." They give her kisses all the time, and any time we are on the floor -they all want to be involved.

Here are a few more pictures of Siena and this last month and a half with family.

Everyday she keeps getting more beautiful.  Siena's first month and a half of life has been pretty busy and fun.  She got to meet all of her family.  First, my family came out when she was first born.  My Grandma couldn't come, but everyone else was able to spend Christmas here welcoming Siena to Colorado.  Then Matt's family came and they stayed with us in town for a week and then headed up to Breckenridge.  They have been up in Breck for the last month.  Family and friends have been coming in all month to stay up in Breck.  The first weekend was the biggest with all of Mary Ellen's brothers coming in and cousin's to visit.  Mike, Kaela and Antje came in also.  So both Antje got to meet her cousin.  For the last few days, we have enjoyed spending some more time with Matt's parents back down in Colorado Springs.  

I am feeling much better and getting adjusted to being at home with Siena.  We feel pretty blessed that she has been such a  wonderful baby.  She is feeding and sleeping pretty well.  She fusses at times, but we are able to manage.  We are going to try to be a bit better now with posting.  The last couple months have been a needed hiatus from most things while we were figuring things out with our new addition. :)
