Major Milestone

Sierra crawled today! She was enticed by some mango peach applesauce and kept crawling after it as daddy kept moving the spoon back farther. She's been on the verge for at least 2 weeks now so we're pretty excited that she managed it. Excited for now anyway, check back with me in a few weeks to see how excited I am then. Yeah Sierra!!

Spring has come!

Today's Firsts:
First flowers blooming in our yard
Sierra's first trip to a park
My first sunburn of 2008 (why can't I remember sunscreen??)
Our first meeting with the online mom's group I joined!

I did get a picture of our flowers but sadly I didn't have my camera at the park. This was a big day for me because it is really stepping out of my comfort zone to meet new people on my own like this. Several weeks ago I came across a local mom's group online that was joining for the purpose of getting out for walks and meeting other moms. It sounded like a great opportunity for me in several aspects; I want to get out for walks now that the weather is cooperating and I feel like it's good for me to meet people outside of my little world of home and church. The meetup went very well. There were 5 ladies there, all first time moms and all the children were between the ages of 6 and 10 months. We were all later-in-life first time moms also, not that 30 is late but it was nice to have that in common also. We walked around the park, talked and apparently got sunburn since my arms are glowing as much as the computer screen right now. All in all though it was a good day.
