Sienna's first trip

Scott, myself, Sienna and my parents flew to Indianapolis last Friday evening to spend the weekend with my sister and Matt. This was Sienna's first plane ride, and she did AWESOME!! Seriously, she acted like she'd been flying her whole life. (All five months of it, mind you!) She only fussed for like 15 seconds upon departure, but quickly stopped when she ate or sucked on her pacifier.

We had a great time with my sister, Matt, and his family. It was so great to just hang out and have time together as a family. We celebrated my mom's birthday and Matt's mom's birthday on Saturday night, and we watched the Superbowl on Sunday night. Matt and his family are HUGE Colts fans, and Scott and I have never liked the Colts.... for good reason! The Colts have knocked the Chiefs out of the playoffs in our past three attempts. Ugh. But we decided to take the high road this weekend, and we surprised everyone with our very own Colts t-shirts. Sienna even wore a Colts bib! :) Matt and Karla were surprised... they figured we'd wear our Chiefs gear or a Saints jersey!

To make the weekend even more entertaining, Sienna started teething! Oh, yes. It was fun! She wasn't napping well (not unusual at home, though) nor sleeping at night well (very unusual). I just thought it was because she was in a new environment, but Sunday night was bad. She was up like 5 times fussing and crying. In the morning, she had cuts all over her thumb and finger from biting her hand all night. Poor baby!! Aunt Kitty let her suck on ice until PaPa could get back from the store with Orajel. She was much happier after we numbed her gums. We still can't see her teeth yet, so I'm guessing we're still in for a few fussy nights of teething. Woo hoo!
