1 Month (yesterday)

Everyone wasn't kidding when they told me that time would pass more quickly the second time around. I don't know where the past month has gone. Well yes I do- feeding Sienna, trying to get her to go to sleep, repeat. But anyhow....

I was sad to say goodbye to July. Its no longer Sienna's birth month. She seems a little bit older since she was born last month. She's moved out of her newborn onesies and into size 1 diapers. She's consistently giving us 5 hours of sleep at night and sometimes (like last night- 7 hours straight!) more. She is getting good at holding her head up and actually doesn't mind tummy time at all. I think she would be belly sleeper but I'm too nervous to let her. Except sometimes I do for naps. Don't tell. She's rolled herself over from her tummy to her back three separate times but I think they are just flukes. She hates her car seat with a passion. I swear she smiled back at me this afternoon. She loves to be held and loves to sleep in my wrap. She and her sister are already becoming buddies and I think I'm going to have to closely watch the two of them.

No day has been the same this last month. These two keep me on my toes...and on my knees. I can't tell you how many times I've cried to the Lord- You are the keeper of all wisdom! Share some with me! I had someone ask me yesterday if I was ever bored staying at home. I can remember being a little bored when Kiran was a very young baby but now with two little ones, no time to be bored. Somebody always needs something or will need something or is getting into something....

So I better head to bed before someone comes calling....

I know what you mean about being sad to see the birth month go. I was sad to see 2007 go, actually.

I'm glad things are going well with her!

That is so sweet that the sisters are close already. Makes me want to have another girl for Hazel.

We finally had to do nap time on the tummy as well, because that was/is the only way she'll sleep. I was anxious, too. Now as soon as we put her in her crib, she rolls onto her tummy and snuggles with the bumper pads.
