Sienna - How is she doing?

There have been a lot of questions about how Sienna is doing. She is doing very well. She runs around in the morning while we are preparing for the trip. Once we hit the road, we give her breakfast or snacks. She is a great eater. Snacks include banana, grapes, mozzerella sticks, bagel, black olives, wheat thins, animal crackers, blueberries, strawberries, puffed stars, and the most important snack of all, pulled out only during the most desperate of situations are goldfish crackers. We also have a box filled with books and a few toys. I bought 6 new books before this trip and only pull them out when she needed a distraction. We have taken her swimming at a few of the campgrounds and to the playground at almost every campground. She is getting plenty of play time outside and inside of the trailer. When we are at a restaurant we take turns letting her run around saying “hi” to everyone. She quickly becomes the center of attention and loves every minute of it. We have taken her camping since she was 6 months old. She is familiar with the trailer, the crib and the “drill”. We brought her essential toys and “blankey(s)”. If anything, she is getting used to having too much attention from us.

One milestone that has occurred during this trip is that she said her own name last night. We were saying the “Sss” sound and then I said her name and she mimicked me. She is saying new things everyday. One of my favorites is when she becomes pleased with herself and throws her hands up in victory and says, “I did it!” She is an amazing little BunBun.

She is in now into everything. She's climbing furniture in the trailer, dismantling her crib, and goes for everything she knows we don't want her to play with. She is a very happy girl.
