14 months

Siena gives us the goofiest grins these days. She is always smiling or yelling, or singing. She has her little babbles and words that she uses over and over. She loves laying next to Onyx (when Onyx is calm) and getting licked in the face. She loves to had the dog treats. She is very interested in the cats and if cornered Minkie will tolerate some (not so) gentle pats from her. Siena has also discovered Onyx's tail and that was Cole's favorite part of Onyx too.

Siena walks every where. She now only crawls if she wants Cole to chase her. She climbs on everything and wants to do what ever it is that Cole is doing. She also wants to eat everything Cole eats and unfortunately for her she can't. We are still working on figuring out her allergies and every time she gets a hold of some thing and has a reaction we have to start over. We are in the middle of the coconut trial right now and we are back off it for 24 hours due to a rash and reflux (fingers crossed it wasn't the coconut but she didn't have a rash or reflux before the coconut trial). Hopefully in a few days the rash will be totally gone and we can re try again. She is so super sensitive to the soy products. She got a hold of some cereal Cole had right before Easter and had maybe 3 pieces total and reacted to it. I am still very thankful her allergy to soy hasn't turned in the anaphylactic reaction. Just because she doesn't react that way now doesn't mean it can't happen later and that's what scares us and so we are so careful to not let her get anything with soy in it or anything made on shared equipment with soy.

She is about 29" tall and weighs about 18 1/2 pounds. She has 7 teeth. three on the bottom and 4 on the top. She officially lost her adorable baby fat thigh rolls about 3 weeks ago and they are replaced with toddler legs. Siena understands some sentences that we say to her. Yesterday I asked her if she wanted a bottle and she turned around, walked over to the couch, climbed up on it and grabbed the bottle that was on the back of it and brought it to me. She then waited until I picked her up and she drank it. She was also wandering around with a diaper and I asked her to put it on the couch. She walked over to the couch then turned and grabbed the wipes and brought both to me. Her diaper did need to be changed (wet). She also gets Lego men when asked. We now have to hid all the Lego's since most of the men no longer have hands.

She still makes it into our bed every night. I know it wont be forever so I am not too worried about it. She makes for a pretty good heater. Last night when I got in to bed Siena was already in it with Mike and she was all snuggled up with him. As soon as I laid down she got up crawled over, flipped around so I was spooning her. Poor Mike got his feelings hurt.
