Ode to Sienna Mae






As every parent knows each child brings new and exciting differences to the family. They sleep, eat, play, sing, talk, cry, laugh in all different kinds of ways. I know all of this now but the day i had my second daughter was when my education begun. It was a cloudy afternoon when Sienna was born she was shy and quite from the very beginning which is a stark contrast from her very personable sister. She seemed content just to be snuggled up with anyone as long as they held tight and kept her warm. This past year she has grown in so many way. The obvious ones like getting taller and chunkier. Getting 6 teeth so far. Sitting up, then crawling, then standing and almost walking. But the growth I love to see most is in her personality.
Sienna is: quite, until you cross her
A content baby, loves to just sit and watch the world go by
Hungry, there really isn't a time when she won't take food. If you are chewing a piece of gum she wonders why you won't share.
A singing, dancing baby. She loves to shake her bum and sing along to any music playing.
Snuggly, she will lay on your shoulder for hours while she rubs your arm for comfort.
Loving, she does like to pick her favorite but when she picks you, you know how important you are with the hugs and giggles she gives you.
A sister and she knows it. She is fascinated with Averi. She watches her every move and I'm sure will try and be her shadow.
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect addition when Sienna came to us. We love her so much. Happy Birthday my baby, you deserve it.
