The Hill of Apples.

I LOVE fall. It doesn't quite feel like fall here yet, but it's getting there. I like the idea of snuggling in a blanket, watching a movie with cold air blowing through the window while you eat a bowl of soup. Nothing says fall though like a trip to Apple Hill. The weather was perfect and the apple juice was just as delicious as I remember. We went up with my parents and had a very low key trip. We looked at all the craft booths, fed the fish, ran into some friends and my sister Katie, ate lunch and brought home an apple pie. Sienna even got to try some of Grandpa's apple donut, mommy's sandwich and some berry apple pie! We didn't take a ton of pictures but here are a few of us enjoying our day.

I'm so excited for the rest of this year... all the fall holidays, Nick starting school, the Idahoans coming to visit AND Sienna's first birthday!

Teeth!

Miss Sienna thinks that teeth are funny for some reason. She has five now! Whenever she gets the opportunity she loves to stick her finger in mommy or daddy's mouth and touch our teeth. She is so weird... I haven't figured out if it's actually teeth or the word teeth that makes her giggle. Anyway, for Labor Day we went over to the Langstraat's for some swimming and lunch. While we were there Erin took a couple of pictures that I loved and wanted to share.

I just love this picture...it's so Sienna.

I just love this silly girl!

Bed Head.

For someone with so little hair that is some serious bed head.

Fake Coughing....

...and other silly things that I want to remember. I have been pretty good about blogging the big things that happen to our small family but after looking at a friends blog I realized that I was missing all of the everyday stuff that makes me laugh or makes me crazy. This post will be my attempt to journal all the stuff that Sienna is up to and then I hope to blog more about the everyday crazy as well as the bigger stuff.

1. Fake Coughing. The girl is out of control. It started a couple of days ago and she thinks that she is so funny. I think she is just silly.

2. She LOVES music! Sienna is a dancing queen but since she doesn't quite stand on her own yet mostly the dancing consist of "rave hands", furiously waving her arms and a big cheesy smile. She appreciates any music from Beyonce to Brad Paisley to church hymns. She also likes to sing which sounds alot like screaming but she stops when the music stops and to me it just sounds awesome.

3. Speaking of screaming...she also does her fair share of that. Last week Nick took her to Target and almost felt like leaving because she was screaming so loud. I should mention that most of the time the screaming is purely to hear the sound of her voice and is not because she is upset. This also means that we have the noisy baby at church (see #2 as well)

4. Like any other baby she hates her toys. Ok, not really. However, she would rather play with golf balls, the laptop, the remote with batteries in it, shopping bags and the laptop cord. I have no idea how she knows if a remote does or does not have batteries but if it doesn't work, she doesn't want it.

5. Not so awesome...she throws fits. Full on throwing her head back, arching her body, holding her breath until her face is red fits. Someone forgot to tell her that she's supposed to walk before she gets an attitude...seriously. We definitely have our hands full!
