So let's see...this has been a big month! Sienna started crawling at 8 1/2 months. At first she would just go one or two crawls (is that what you call them?) but now she is everywhere. Which means we've had to start disciplining her because she's grabbing cords or pulling her sister's hair or eating any number of things that she shouldn't be. Just yesterday I turned the corner out of the kitchen and she was standing up holding on to the chair. Now she thinks she can stand without holding on. So she'll pull herself up, look around and let go. We've had a lot of tumbles and tears since this all began yesterday. And she keeps wanting to stand up in the bath. No, no Sienna.
See, Mom, I got it! No problem!She babbles a lot- bababa and mamama (but only when she's upset). She still has no teeth and none that we can feel but I'm ok with that because I love toothless babies!!! I hope its still a while before she gets teeth! We've been slow in introducing new foods because of reactions and reflux flare ups and waiting extra because of the current allergies. She only eats bananas, rice cereal, baby oatmeal, avocados, carrots, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, and now puffs. Twice we've tried pears and twice she's had very fussy times after. Those are supposed to be the least allergenic fruit. I must have had dairy last week at the beach because she had a very classic reaction. Unfortunately the reaction lasted just as long as they have previously so my hopes that she was outgrowing it were dashed.
Sienna likes to wave at herself and has definately had bouts of separation anxiety this month. I think the best part of this past month has been the development of Kiran and Sienna's relationship. Now that Sienna can move, those two have been playing non-stop. Their favorite game is the one where Kiran will go hide in Sienna's closet and Sienna will crawl over there and open the door. They both just fall over laughing and Kiran will yell, "She found me Mommy! See-nee-na found me!" Repeat 14 times. Kiran has been calling Sienna "See-nee-na" for a while now and I love it. In fact, I've found myself accidentally calling Sienna that a few times. But over the past week Kiran has slowly started to pronounce her name the proper way and I kinda miss See-nee-na.

So even though I have yet to write Sienna's name in her baby book, I think this counts as marking the milestones.

What was Sienna doing that made you realize she had reflux? How early did you discover it? It is probably in your blog, but I am going to be lazy and just ask instead of trying to find it.
What a fun post! Sienna is getting so big so fast!!! how fun!!!! She's adorable!
Standing the bathtub is something I still have to battle Hazel with - those tubs are slippery! Watch out Sienna! She is getting cuter and cuter by the day. I bet it is so sweet to see your girls play together.
Lauren- it started showing up around 3-4 weeks. The main thing was that she screamed in her car seat the whole ride to Bristol and back at 3 weeks. That made me start looking. She spit up (some- she mostly has silent reflux- you can hear the wet burps but it doesn't necessarily come out). She woke up at night more than just to eat. We were able to handle it with just modifications until she started waking at night screaming and arching her back around 5.5 months. Then we put her on Zantac and 5 nights later (it takes 5-7 days to work) her night wakings completely stopped. Do you think Caleb has reflux?
I'm still sorry about that trip to Bristol! Sienna is so darlin!!
she looks so much older, even compared to the picture on your blog header. beach pictures please!
