This second picture took me so long to get that I had to throw it in too. This is taken on the sidewalks to leave the LA Arboretum and she kept chasing every dog that walked by. See how focused she is with her lips pursed, arms back, ready and able to chase down the next victim? More on that later but the shoes pictured here are no longer a pair. She threw one of them in the trash and I dumped it without knowing her shoe was inside. She did it AGAIN with different pair this week. Her shoes now reside in a locked drawer.

Oh and in the same glorious day at the Arboretum, some poor old man was saying hello to Sienna and didn't see the stair in front of him and fell down like he was made of jello. The hardest part was that it was right in front of us. He was some cute old guy in a checkered shirt, war veteran hat on, with the walk man/headphone set they give you for the walking tour and probably was wearing the proper spf is you had the chance to ask him. He fell hard and he jokingly told me it was Sienna's fault because she was saying hi to him. She really was saying "hi hi hi" to him. I couldn't help not to feel guilty. Then a little while later a little girl was skipping right in front of us and fell and skinned up her knees pretty good. I wish I had a picture because it was bad and it looked like she barely fell. Then of course Sienna fell a little while later so I figured it was time to head home. She was fine...no bruises or cuts.

Sienna has really shown so much personality lately. This is such a fun age. She is a screamer especially when she sees her best friends. I mean, top of her lungs shrieking...I'm considering wearing ear plugs for her introductions. She has 12 teeth and the drooling has finally slowed down for now. Poor kid has drooled her whole little life. She has gotten her appetite back but on occasion will have a lighter day unless you whip out the blueberries then all bets are off. She can never get enough. She"ll take them dried or fresh thank you very much.
She bangs on our front door, looks back at me and yells ma ma ma to inform me that it is time to leave the house or she will grab her stroller and do the same thing. She is quite the vocal child with lots of demands and grunts until she gets what it is she is grunting over. She jibber jabbers with the best of them and loves to grab the cell phone and talk away.

She loves animals especially dogs. We were at a house that had a cat the other day and she started screaming when she saw the cat so naturally the cat bolted and Sienna chased that poor cat around yelling after it arf arf arf arf (barking at it like it was a dog)! cRaZy kiD.
