swimming lessons

Sierra just started swimming lessons last Thurs. She had taken lessons through YMCA a year ago, and did okay with them. Those were group lessons and I had to get in the water with her. I don't really think she learned much in those lessons. So this year I try something different. There is a lady that works at State Farm that teaches private lessons at a local hotel. It is just Sierra and the teacher in the pool for 15 mins. I had mixed thought about me not being in the pool, I was glad that I did not have to get in, but was not sure how Sierra would do without me or dad in the pool with her. We got to the lesson early so she got to see another boy take lessons, she was so excited on the way there to go swimming and when we got there she was excited about the water. When it was her turn surprising she went right to the teacher and got in the water with her. Right when Sierra's lesson started about 8 other kids showed up to swim also. Since this is at the hotel the pool is still open to the hotel guest. Since the other kids were in the pool Sierra was a little more intimidated. Sierra did cry for most of the lesson but she still rested her head on the teachers shoulder to float on her back. The teacher said she did good and they all cry on the first one but Sierra did not fight her. After the lesson I asked Sierra if she had fun, she said yes and when asked if she wants to swim again she was excited. I just hope she is still excited for her next lesson on Tue. I think sierra learn more in this 15 min lesson crying then she did the 5 lessons we took through the Y.

potty training signs?

Last Sat when I put Sierra to bed at 9pm she was not wanting to go to sleep so for the next 45mins I could hear her in there reading and talking. It got quite around 10pm so Brock went in there to get the book out of the crib. When he got in there, he saw all the books spread around the crib, her pillow in the middle with her head inside the edge of the case. Sierra then had her butt sticking up in the air with no pants and no diaper, yes no diaper. Brock had to get me right away to show me this funny sight. Sierra ended up waking up and Brock put on a new diaper and put her back to bed. The next day I heard Sierra wake up at 7:15am but could hear her playing in the crib so I just stay in bed for another 20 mins or so. When Brock went in there she was sitting up with no diaper on again. When Brock asked why she took off the diaper she said "I poopy", which she was not. Brock put her on the potty chair right away, but nothing happen. Tue morning Sierra woke up on her own around 7am when I got in there about 5 mins later she was sitting in the corner of her crib with the pillow over her lap, when I removed the pillow saw again she taken off her diaper, she said again "I poopy". We have not had problems with it since then. After taking to my friends I guess this is one of the signs of her getting ready for potty training. I guess she does not like how it feels to have a full wet diaper.

I have added more photos to the shutterfly website, only 530 some photos. The link is to the right. I still need to add the photos of Sierra 2nd birthday party!

My Dr appt

I went to the Dr today, I am 12 weeks on Friday. It was a little early so I could not hear the heartbeat, but in a month I should be able to hear it. The nurse said she got a reading of 150 beats, so that is good. Everything is going great, the only thing is the Dr. said my Vitamin D level was low, so I have to take some D.

My morning sickness has gotten a better. I did not get sick today!!!! I hope the sickness is gone..for good! I think I have the start of a little bump, I hope pretty soon I can blame my tummy on baby only.

Sierra is 2!!!

I can't believe Sierra is already two. I think this last year has gone by so fast. Sierra had a great birthday party, she loved opening all her gifts. She had to get off the paper and tape off each gift before she could go to the next one. On Sierra b-day she did not have as much luck, she ended up getting bit by one of her classmates, I guess they did not like all the attention she was getting for her birthday.
Monday we went to the Dr. for her 2 year check up.. she only weights 25 lbs which puts her in the 25% on the charts and was 24in long which is about 50%. The Dr said he is fine with her weight, she is just active. The great part of the appt was she did not have to have any shots!!!!

Sierra is learning so many words, everyday she says something that just surprises me. She is really good at repeating words and sentences.
